I am trying to download some software from my MSDN library (including Windows 10 1809 and 1903) and seeing speeds around of around 300 KB/second - the Windows ISO will take about three to four hours - under normal conditions this would be done in minutes.

The server is download.my.visualstudio.com:

Tracing route to cs10.wpc.v0cdn.net [2606:2800:147:ff8:129b:22eb:20b:1347] over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 5 ms 7 ms 10 ms fritz.box [2406:e001:1:ae01:5e49:79ff:fe51:5ee8]
2 5 ms 3 ms 4 ms 2406:e000:2801:c::1
3 18 ms 15 ms 17 ms as23655.auckland.megaport.com [2001:dea:0:40::4d]
4 24 ms 17 ms 16 ms as15133.auckland.megaport.com [2001:dea:0:40::30]
5 15 ms 15 ms 16 ms 2606:2800:147:ff8:129b:22eb:20b:1347

Trace complete.

Anyone else seeing this? Disabled IPv6 on this box, same speeds...

I am pretty sure the WiFi on this box can do better:

And if I connect via a VPN to Auckland or Singapore endpoints, download speeds go up to 4 MB/s and download is done in 15 minutes or less.

Obviously something going on with 2degrees routes...

Try downloading an 1809 image as a test, I find some ISO's are better 'seeded' on MSDN. I've downloaded ISO's in Minutes and older ISO's being very slow in the same session.

I was downloading stuff last night - old stuff, and this happened the same. It's the routes...

Opps see you have already tried 1809, try something other than Windows 10

Yes, I did turn IPv6 off on this adapter, no change in speeds (I mentioned this in the OP).

It wouldn't be caching - I tried with SQL server, Windows Server and Windows 10 1809 last night.

I think it is time to ping @2degreescare although being a long weekend we might not see some action until next week.

I don't think so. I've tried on my home connection, and on Voyager with the same issue. The issue appears to be with Megaport as ISP's that don't use it seem to go at line speed (tested from Spark and some datacentres however a server I have that goes via Megaport has the issue).

No problems here - The business 1903 ISO took 6 mins to download.

2degrees gig fibre in Wellington

Edit: yeah, other downloads coming down at 500K
