Just saw @sbiddle has a blog entry "Why is my wifi slow?" currently on the front page of digg.com

Congrats to him

It looks like my most viewed blog post has just surpassed 96k views, this one still has quite a few to go before it gets close.

Where do the taglines on digg come from?

I think they are trying to be like the register where they use words like fondleslab (tablet) and other weird references, but for an american market.

so the Spark Ventures CTO posted this speedtest over WiFi on the Bigpipe 200/200 plan (it says spark because we were fiddling with some IP ranges that they still own)

Any tips on how to improve it?  It's very frustrating that WiFi performance is so terrible like this.

Great article sbiddle, defiantly deserves the exposure it is getting!

LOL speedtest still says "faster than 99% of NZ"

 

 

 

I'd love to be in that 1% range... oh and how does 1% of NZ have faster that 200/200 

 

 

 

Good night.
