The cabinet to which I am connected to has just recently been upgraded to ADSL2+, and I am about 150meters to the cabinet, with a sync of approx 17Mbps down and approx 970kbps up, but running a speedtest I am only getting the following result:

Speedtest



Pingtest is not too bad though:



Anyone here has any ideas how can I improve the Speedtest result above, seeing my line sync is pretty good and inline with expectation?

Hi, I suggest you talk to snap and ask them what gives, but I would suggest that its not your connection as its obviously working well at 17Mb/s.

Our house wiring is crap though, we usually get around 4 mb/s on Speedtest during peak times - We are around 100m from the cabinet.

I got to my parents' place in Palmerston North and as I had suspected, their speed was beyond unacceptable with webpages taking 5-10sec to load. Dad called up World Exchange/Xnet and they did a "port reset" which made a huge difference.

(Line: 5880/760kbps; plan: FS/128k)

Hi RmACK, as you probably know the old River Xnet plan that you Dad is probably on is a Fs/128k plan which means downloads of TCP traffic with standard TCP stack settings will never exceed around 4-5Mb/s which is what you have. Sounds to me along with getting him on to a newer Fs/Fs plan that a wiring upgrade would be worth a go also. PN has had a serious cabinet upgrade with the FTTN project so for most connections you should see line stats north of 10Mb/s, what are his full line stats (probably off topic so PM me the stats).

Cheers
Cyril
