try another server and avoid using the webbrowser.

 

 

 

on the upside, G.INP and Vectoring has been real nice to you, that's a clean sync rate!

Is the ISP traffic shaping the connection in anyway to limit download speed?

 
 
 

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Free setup code: R587125ERQ6VE. Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

I don't think they are, I have unlimited data. How do I check?

Having unlimited data is not related, Maybe they profile VDSL connections to around 30Mbps/s downlink

 

You need to check with your ISP

Try another xDSL modem (that supports vectoring)

 

for those sync rates you must be stones throw from your exchange/cabinet

I tried a different modem with the same result. It's possible the my copper wiring have degraded?

My isp is doing a line test.

Also cronus rebuild my phone line box recently due to corrosion.

If your ISP is doing a line test then refrain from rebooting / replacing the modem. Each re-sync may cause ddDLM to lower the sync speed of your line.

So its not the internal wiring? Its weird because the modem is reading 120Mbps Down from the 2-wire jackpoint but only getting 30-38mbps down for all devices Wired and wireless.

How was the line test? TBH you have no issues with sync, this is something else
