Speedtest via telecom fixed line broadband to Santa Rosa:


Speedtest via telecom XT to same Santa Rosa server: 


speedtest via telecom fixed line broadband to Tauranga: 


Speedtest via telecom XT to Tauranga: 


Thoughts?

Both networks (xDSL & 2G/3G) are highly variable and there are no guarantees on speeds offerred.

How many bars of signal did you have?

Also, check out that latency.. Because of how TCP/IP works, high latency == crap throughput, depending.
