If you're seeing bad international upload speed results on Fibre, I'd be interested to know what part of the country you are in...

I really need to find someone with mac OS to do some testing from my place to either confirm or deny its a windows issue

already have multiple times and am seeing the same thing as i am with windows. from the previous thread and my emails with voyager they said it was fine/acceptable in mac os so weren't really willing to look into it any more.

It tried this on my Wellington "gigabit" UFB 2degrees connection - the difference was spectacular ! :

Using the OOKLA speed test website (not the app) on 2 PCs on the same (ethernet) LAN:

On a new high-spec Windows 10 PC (with latest OS update) :

Los Angeles 2 degrees 705/64
Los Angeles AT&T 322/42
New York AT&T 348/38

On an old low-spec Ubuntu PC:

Los Angeles 2 degrees 888/330
Los Angeles AT&T 854/216
New York AT&T 796/272

Colour me impressed! 🙂

I wish you could search for servers in the speedtest app, it's so annoying that's not possible.

Can a few people try downloading this 1gb file. It is the test file of a huge data centre in Phoenix, AZ.

http://174.138.175.114/PHX-1GB.test

It took me almost 4 hours on voyager. My results:

@kobiak please dont post "wifi" speed tests they are not indicative of actual speeds you could achieve.

i would agree, mine pegged at 12.5MB/s the entire time.

Mine took about 85 seconds

Thanks for trying that file folks. Can anyone with Voyager try it?

I am still around 25kbs (via ethernet and gigabit capable router). I have put in a support request to Voyager.
