I definitely know that WxC's Speedtest.net server is still there, but it doesn't show up on my ihug broadband connection:



I'm guessing that ihug pulled the plug on their speedtest server (amid some controversy), but Speedtest.net doesn't seem to have updated that (they have, but didn't recognise that WxC's one is still there for my connection).

Anybody else seeing this?

My Orcon connection sees the Acukland server.

Which host is it? ihug or WxC?

Anyway, here is the reply that Speedtest.net gave me:

James,

As iHug is a customer of ours, their subscribers will always see the iHug testing server rather than the WorldxChange one.

Best Regards,

Max @ Speedtest.net

So ihug's server is still up and running by the looks of it.
