A speedtest much lower than your sync speed would probably indicate congestion on the backhaul network from the exchange to the ISP or congestion in Vodafone's network on the route to the Auckland speedtest server (Auckland speedtest server is hosted by Xnet).

Try some other speed tests and downloads to double check speeds:

Also remember residential internet is a shared network best effort service with no gaurantee of minimum performance. There is x backhaul and isp bandwidth available and y users at peak time it's fairly likely you will not achieve your full sync speed (think motorway in rush hour) especially on international downloads.

However, for a local download/speedtest your 1Mbit result vs your 6Mbit sync speed is fairly crap.

Your sync rate seems low have you set you new modem to connect as ADSL2+ looks like your sync speed is synch as ADSL1

Tuataras were once feared by Māori as the messengers of Whiro, god of death and disaster. Today, tuataras are regarded as a taonga (treasure), and as the kaitiaki (guardian) of the trails to the realms of the mind and spirit that give humans life.

So you only have issues with this one computer and you have other computers at the same location that are completely fine?

What OS is it running? What SP? Latest drivers for the NIC? Memory and CPU all okay? Checked Peformance stats?

Any errors reported on the NIC in eventvwr (assuming windows)

Yes that would help.... Theres always a chance that problems are on the local side of the connection. However local speedtests go through APE, which is a reasonably big switch by NZ standards but might also be congested oneday. Nationwide speeds can vary by the time of day quite a lot, although should be faster than international.

Time to find a new industry!
