Speedtest.net confirms .38 of a Mb/s. Plenty of data left.. Is it just me, or a wider problem? I've been on hold to Telecom for 15 min now to find out.

Does it matter? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise somethings not right... Loading web pages etc

freitasm: Is it an aerial cable or underground? Is it snowing or raining? Could it be some water in the pipes if this is underground?
If this is not widespread, could it be interference from a new device you plugged in? When was the last time you checked your internal wiring? Could the demarc connection be corroded or broken?

Yes Ham it does matter.
There's a big storm over the country. I have problems in wellington currently because of snow.
Sky is out for customers, and my guess is snow on the dish. That will be causing more people to be using net as their TV is out.
Speed tests go to different servers. If you're using a server that's over a compromised link then its performance will be down as a result.
Johnr is a senior guy for one of the bigger providers. If he asks a question at a time like this then it pays to just give a straight answer even if you don't get why it might be relevant.
For all I know, he's trying to get a picture of faults around the co and may be helping other pplz at the same time.
I've already been on other lists asking other operators if they're seeing faults to get a picture of where problems are.
Other operators will be following lists to get a feel for where there are problems - say way the CCC are using those earthquake indicator buildings in the CBD.
Johnr is also attempting to get some scope of your ability to know how to best help you. :)

Talkiet: On my Telecom ADSL connection in Chch I currently get 12.24Mbit down / 800kbps up, using http://speedtest.telecom.co.nz/
This is with a 14488/946 ADSL sync.

Snap server in christchurch..
World exchange server in auckland...
Neil - 14/2 to your server... where is that server located?
Ham, do you see the point?
I'm on 15/2 hfc and I suspect if I speed test my gateway I'll get 15/2

Ham: Sounds logical, I'm not an expert but I know its slower than normal
Talkiet:
Actually I don't recall where it is exactly... Based on the very short tracert and the times I suspect it's in Akl, probably MDR.
Don't quote me on that though - I'm just inferring from very similar behaviour to other servers I know are in MDR.
