Nothing (As expected) on the 2D Network Status page!

DSL Speeds on Download to AUS or USA etc, Auckland is CRAP. Christchurch is OK – which proves MY part! Weird!

Something is badly wrong!

Even a minute amount of packet loss anywhere could have that type effect.

If the problem is consistent throughout the day I'd be checking my Ethernet cables etc and testing on another device. Hopefully those tests weren't done over wifi either.

Wired direct to 2D Fritzbox.

Same "result" with another Computer via local network to another Fritzbox port.

Let me guess... Windows?

If you're using Windows open up the Command Prompt or Powershell under Administrator mode and type the following:

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

Then reboot - see if this improves your speed.

From the sticky: https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=81&topicid=239862

Also, my connection is totally fine. Sounds like Windows TCP Tuning slowing you down to me. You could also try testing from another device (on Ethernet) or even booting your computer into Linux and testing that way.

Since you mentioned... This might interest you and others too. Perhaps not exactly designed for home use, but speaks to the issue you mentioned.

^OP, no harm checking in with 2D, they might see something happening on your handover or the BNG you're connected via. Otherwise perhaps the Fritz box is on the fritz?

OK, so the answer is that it is unique to here!

Thanks.....will investigate further here.......only thing common to both PC's is the Fritzbox!

Yeah, a switch seems so boring and is usually so dependable, but when it goes rogue… I has a similar experience where our NAS stopped functioning properly, and the TV’s Ethernet connection was incredibly unreliable. In the end it was shown to be the switch, so problem solved with a new one…
