I'm with Slingshot so I'm on the vocus network

Here is some speed tests done earlier

Have you tried other speed test servers?

As I said in my last post, using the Orcon servers, the speed is very average, even though I'm with Orcon.

Using other servers provided the true speeds that I would have expected. And thus gives me proof that my connection is capable of the speeds advertised.

I'm with Orcon in chch and have had no issues at all

Heres my latest speed test on the default router supplied.

totally understand. but if I'm only getting 200mbp from a 900mbp plan, then i might as well use a 200mbp plan. I used to be able to get around 200mbp download on my 200mbp plan. 

 

 

I posted some speedtests in the thread linked higher up, IMO I think the problem is the Auckland speedtest server that Vocus has is very underpowered as I can get way faster results to other NZ servers like the ones hosted at ufone and 2degrees.

 

What happens when you try fast.com ?

 

i tried other servers, but usually those are even slower if not the same. 

fast.com is this,

do you use your own router? or theirs?

yes, i have tried other servers, but the maximum i could get is perhaps 400mbps. Does any good speed with third party router? I'm thinking whether it could be a router issue?

that's strange, perhaps router is the issue

what device are you using for the wired tests? is it even gigabit capable?

It would be truly fascinating to know what percentage of NZ's internet traffic is just from people on Gigabit connections running constant speedtests 24/7 just to check their speeds. I know it's been a massive issue in the past with all the UniFi kit out there saturating speedtest servers.

I'm with slingshot. Never seem to have any speed issues with default supplied modem and gigabit switch.

because the servers probably have a slow link to them and people are constantly hammering them to check their speed.

What would be causing that slow link with Wellington customers?

is it just wellington customers or all customers to that server?
