Hi Team. i really need your help.

i just moved house, and switch to one nz fibre max from fibre 300 early this week, till today, i only can get 400mbps download , 300mbps upload speed. tried to power

off everything, and change router. nothing changed. still same speed.

tried 2 routers.

router one : asus gt-ax11000.

router two : ubiquiti unifi dream machine se.

used cat6a cable link the router and the ont, and cat6a cable from router to testing laptop.

speed as below. morning will be a little bit faster around 400mbps for download. 300mbps for upload. during the evening down speed will be 300+mpbs, upload 200+mpbs.

I called one nz support twice, also online support twice, nothing they can help. only said they checked their side, my plan already changed to fibre max....

so any suggestion for me? i have been stuck here for 3 days.... i already used vodafone for 20 years. i dont want changing broadband provider is the only option for

me....

thank you all.

You are testing to the SparkNZ network in the attached screen shot. Test to OneNZ server

Are you testing using browser or App?

Hi, it does look like there’s something happening within your network.

The upload speed you’re seeing is higher than what you get with the 300 plan, so it’s unlikely that there’s a configuration error on our end or with your LFC (Chorus etc).

There is a speed test function built into the UniFi routers, what result do you get there? Also make sure Smart Queues is disabled under WAN settings.

Also boot your PC into Linux (create an Ubuntu live USB) and try that too.

There's also a speedtest applet in the Asus router. However the speed test results show elevated latency so this looks like it's still over wifi.

Op can you please disable your wifi adapter when you hardwire in addition use the app over the website.

I am also having the same issue. Moved from Bigpipe to One NZ Fibre Max on Monday. Not getting anywhere near 900 d/l, but upload is as it should be:

This is a wired connection between my ONT and my RT-AX88U router.

The WAN shows as connected as 1Gbps in the router GUI. IPv6 is disabled, would that cause any issues here?

This seems to indicate IPv4+IPv6 is needed, but not sure how to enable this in my router.

Interestingly using the speedtest function in the router GUI shows an expected 900/500 result.

Is this accurate?

Yes it is accurate so this proves issue is not with ISP

I ran into issues with the website when testing higher speeds and found the app gave more accurate readings…
Download the app and try from there?

I tried the app also and I had the same issue. I'm going to try booting the PC from an Ubuntu USB stick and seeing if that makes any difference.

I followed this guide: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/try-ubuntu-before-you-install#1-getting-started and tried it out on my PC. I ran the speedtest in the firefox browser from within the Ubuntu OS. I got 900 down, 500 up (what I should get).

Might be worth a try so you can rule out cables, network adapters etc.?

Now I just need to work out what Windows is doing to limit my speed.

Sorry for multiple posts, but have seemingly found a fix for my issue, might help the OP also.

I updated my ethernet card drivers. In my case it was a Realtek PCIe GBe Family controller. This seems to have resolved the issue. Will test again a few more times over the weekend.

Good troubleshooting, yes once you get past 300/100 you often start to find out where the weakest link is on your side of the ONT box..
