I ran that speed test as well Download Speed: 17977 kbps (2247.1 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 3385 kbps (423.1 KB/sec transfer rate) Latency: 293 ms
This is with Bigpipe in Auckland, my router is crap though :)
Thanks for running the speedtest ScuL! Are you on Bigpipe's 200/200 plan?
My speeds have changed slightly since last night. I'm currently looking at this: Download Speed: 33298 kbps (4162.3 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 5967 kbps (745.9 KB/sec transfer rate) Latency: 285 ms
It does vary a lot however. Maybe this test isn't good for comparisons... Oh well.
So I ran a direct download from one of the test files (the 10GB one) This is probably as high as I can go on my 200/20 Spark Unlimited Fibre. Last Result: Download Speed: 20141 kbps (2517.6 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 2054 kbps (256.8 KB/sec transfer rate) Latency: 279 ms 7/8/2015, 5:39:45 PM
From the Speedtest Server

sbiddle: That OVH speedtest gives poor results regardless of the connection type. It's the problem trying to send content to the other side of the world.
On Slingshot fibre, I used to get ~4Mb/s on Speedtest to the OVH server. Actual downloads were around 1.2MB/s (with a single thread) from a server supposedly in the same datacenter. With 10 connections, I'd be able to max out the 100Mb/s port on the server.
