Hey all,

 

I'm trying to download a 14GB update to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and I'm only getting 30mpbs download speeds on my 2degrees gigabit connection.  Looks like the download target is 13.107.246.13 and a tracert shows:

Trace complete.

 

I've ran a couple of SpeedTests and I nearly max out the connection when using ACSData is Wellington (I'm in Upper Hutt) but am only getting 150mbps up and down to Auckland and 60mbps up and down to Sydney.  

 

Any ideas?  Seems like I'm constantly butting up against routing and peering issues since moving to New Zealand.  In the UK, I had a 300mbps connection and pretty much anything I downloaded would max it out.  Don't mean to whinge but it's a bit frustrating.

There has been a recent Windows Update (or driver update) that has caused this to revert back for many people including myself - if you've got a Realtek network card it has likely happened to you also. May require being re-run and another reboot if you have not done it right now.

My apologies, seems it had reverted back for me too.  Now I'm getting the right SpeedTest results for Auckland and Sydney.  I really cannot fathom the logic - why was there no problem to a Wellington server?  Surely that setting should've affected all my traffic?  Pleased it's now working, but very confused!
