Just a query as to how long it takes for the speed increase to occur, currently has increased to: Ping-19, DL-319.32, UL-428.62.

 

Requested upgrade 23/08/2022, FRITZ!Box 7490 router which was running on Ultimate speed some time ago.

you have a ping of 20ms so unless you are on one of those networks that backhaul to Auckland there should be a closer server to you to test to.

What was your max speed previously when you had "Ultimate speed"?

 

There are a lot of things that can influence the test. Your internal network speeds, the speed to the Speedtest server etc.

 

When I test from my computer in the office via wifi I get around 435 Mbit/s down and 133 Mbit/s up.

 

Testing from a network connected computer via Vodafone Wellington (I am on the Kapiti Coast) I get 934 Mbit/s down and 516 Mbit/s up.

 

When I tested from Chrome and the default server for my location on that computer (Xtreme networks, Wellington) I got less than half that speed down.

Ethernet cable to FRITZ!Box 7490 to Auck. to ChCh  2 degrees.

 

Have been on this plan before and got top speeds as I did on my previous ultimate plan, curious about what may have changed.

Could you please edit some of the white space out of your previous post as is driving my OCD crazy. TIA.
