Using Speedtest.net can you guys and ladies post your broadband speeds and your ISP and what plan you are on.
Just interested in the average speed New Zealanders get. 

My result using Slingshots $90 a month naked unlimited

johnr: What about line stats and condition of house wiring?


How many people would know the condition of their house wiring unless its a new house?

Because house wiring has a greater influence in speed than the wire on the road...

And please folks use the [IMG] tag to avoid others having to copy and paste those speedtest URL.

Not many, but without factoring that in, your results are close to pointless. In addition, gear, distance to exchanges etc...

Testing against Internode (AKL):



Vodafone (AKL):


WorldxChange (AKL):



Snap (CHC):



So how is anyone supposed to make sense of these numbers? There's no sense because Speedtest are always slowed down by the weakest link - which doesn't seem to be my ISP here.

How on earth do you get results like that?  Is this the connections the forums are on or something?  Or your residential connection?
