See in NBR and originated by Truenet.

Results are somewhat surprising but also a ring of truth in them.

Certainly I never found TCL 100Mbs cable much faster overseas than my more modest 15Mbs TCL or 13Mbs Telecom xDSL except when I can create multiple streams of connections with say BT.

Then TCL 100Mbs is pretty fast.

But for video streaming overseas, it was hardly worth the cost.




Staying in Wellington. Check out my AirBnB in the Wellington CBD.  https://www.airbnb.co.nz/h/wellycbd  PM me and mention GZ to get a 15% discount and no AirBnB charges.

I don't get why RBI has been lumped with ADSL. Any ADSL cabinets that are being upgraded in the RBI project get ADSL2+/VDSL line cards so should be considered in the same group as the other ADSL probes.
And what is going on with Vodafone's Australia download times? Have they got a screwed up route or something?
