sbiddle: Since you haven't replied yet I'm going to take a stab and askl if you're using your SPA2102 as your router are you? If so it will explain the problem since the ethernet chipset in this can only route ~7.5Mbps tops (with overhead) which equates to around 7Mbps real world speeds.

Steve, yes I did have a SPA2102 in there just as a temporary fix to replace a failed Linux box.

Eak... I just put the Mikrotik RB750 on line and that's come up even worse!

Wonder what's causing that? Obviously got something configured very wrong that's for sure!

So the speed problem isn't anything to do with TelstraClear. Might pay to try a properly configured non SPA device and you might see your 15/2 speeds back!

Who knows what's going on...

Yes I'm happy to concede that I got caught by that SPA2102. Lesson learnt there.

DonGould: Did you see the NA Nog thread on this issue over night? California are looking an legislating performance based on Speedtest.net.

Obviously a piece of legislation that would have to consider what the user is doing from the moment the cable is delivered to his/her CPE.

As shown by your own example, such a legislation would not help much, when it's not the ISP's fault.

Yip, I don't know if you follow NANog but I wrote quite a long post linking back to one of your posts on GZ about the issue and some work done by Truenet and a guy in .au on WP.

I think it's really important to talk as much about these issues as we can and ask the questions.... that's why I started this thread because when I was using the nix box I could see that peering was limiting the connections, but something clearly changed...

The SPA was a good catch from Steve, I'll give him that one!

I'd love to have some real capacity sitting on this RB 750 to see if I've configured it right.

I just checked our Telstraclear 15/2 probes, and while we are a bit short of volunteers for this product in Christchurch, the numbers are clear. All probes, ie every single one including the christchurch probes, are achieving 14-15Mbps download on our throughput tests.
