I changed my plan from Telstra clear's Lightspeed 60G to Vodafone's UFB 50 Cable, a couple of nights ago.
I was promised 3x faster speed by the sales person, that's why I moved. (and it being unlimited)

I heard from a couple of my friends that the Unlimited UFB Speed is horribly slow, and I asked the sales person about this and whether I should use the 80Gb plan instead of the unlimited one. He kept re-assuring me that the speed would be 3x times faster than my current plan.

So long story short, I decided to check the speed on my Lightspeed 60G (the night before I switch) and it was showing 13 Mbit Download ; 2 Mbit upload and 13ms Ping.

Yesterday I Jumped on the net to check the speed. and it was way slower. you tube video stutters on HD (it was smooth before)
so I checked the speed. and it was showing 1.5 Mbit Download ; 2 Mbit Upload

Test time, method and server are identical with my previous test! (I live in Christchurch, if that helps)

Could anybody please advise me on what is going on?
why is it my speed dropped considerably when I was promised 3x faster speed.



Cheers
