We're not really a residential ISP but have a special going, see post - https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumId=77&topicId=115926

Forgot speedtests

Albany Auckland UFB 100/50 fibre.

I've never been a fan of speedtest's with flash where latency exists, here is a wget from one of our servers at the office:

wget -O /dev/null http://mirror.us.leaseweb.net/speedtest/1000mb.bin

Line speed to the USA :)

Barry, I wish you luck supporting your new users that now expect line speed from UFB to all overseas destinations. (Big Grin)

I think it's pretty clear you haven't had to support a residential userbase so far :-)

You posted PROOF that a link from your ISP CAN AND DOES do LINE RATE to the OVERSEAS!

I kid I kid... I know exactly what you are saying, but there are honestly people out there that have considered legal action because their ISP can't maintain near line speed over a single thread to their seedbox in Germany...

Good idea to soak up some of your unused evening capacity - but do be careful.

BTW, please edit your post to remove the stupidly long line that's breaking this page :-)
