<DIV>I just did this test from my Orcon account. This site is a
joke?? I <BR>did their speed test 9.26Megbits??? My router says
Downstream <BR>3024. nzdsl.co.nz says 2696.. Some one
clarify??</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a question on the back of my mind for a
while......</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I get 2000 to 2900 consistanly and 500 to 650 up on
an XTra pro a/c, on peak off peak from the Manurewa. exchange a little over 1km
away. Latency varies between 50 and 150ms no packet loss (used to be
40 to 42 before telecom readjusted some time ago.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mangere gets about the
same </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Kawakawa bay gets 4.5 meg to 5.5
meg.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some yrs ago I had a contact who would change our
connection at the exchange and we would get 7/8 meg off MS downloading the Age
of Kings demo. This was for weekend LANS.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Therefore I know this</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1/I can get full speed</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>or</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2/ any upgrades made to exchanges/lines since then
have not enhanced but limited ADSL.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Back then the DSlams had either 2 or 4 phone lines
/unit....not long after telecom upgraded the DSlams to nokias (???) with 8 lines
per DSlam...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I rem the guy saying at the time something along
the lines of "when we finally get full speed, and the DSlams get full there with
be no way anyone will get full speed, and if one is unlucky enough to share a
DSlam with high usage users, one would be lucky to get 2meg."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If this is right, all this stuff /propaganda about
distance from exchange, qualty of lines etc is all BS from
Telecom...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Commission, Gov has put a lot of pressure
on telecom resently...has telecom once again come to the party, but knowingly
cant supply full speed to most users, because of previous exchange
upgrades?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Surely this is (again by telecom) false
advertising?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is the Commision/Gov aware of this
issue?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am not a techie nor do I have a full
understanding of DSlams and such....so stand to be corrected in my
assumption</FONT></DIV>
