Hi again,

I've heard back from the team. The available servers are Auckland and Dunedin whilst we look to refresh Christchurch. We don't have an ETA on this at this stage.

Thanks

Hi @morganbrowne,

It's been two months since you're last update on this - Are we any closer to an ETA on this?

Regional testing is great and would show any issues between someone living in ChCh and all local traffic NZ (think cloudflare and youtube and steam) at AKL.

Ramblings from a mysterious lady who's into tech. Warning I may often create zingers.

Nick just misses his speedtest server.

Good news though, given where he works now, the parent company has a speedtest server in christchurch. Just a shame it isn't peered locally ;)

I guess that's a perspective, however not one I share.

I’ll own up to this one.. it’s waiting on me. On my todo list and hasn’t been forgotten about.
End goal is to replace all our Ookla speed test servers, also adding new servers in Hamilton and Wellington too.
It’s underway, so watch this space @NickMack

No Ricky! Don't own it! You won't hear the end of it now!
