[adsl] P2P on unleashed Orcon Avanced 40 Plans

[Keith & Deby]

I just did this test from my Orcon account.  This site is a joke??  I 
did their speed test 9.26Megbits???  My router says Downstream 
3024.   nzdsl.co.nz says 2696..  Some one clarify??

I have a question on the back of my mind for a while......
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.
Mangere gets about the same  
 Kawakawa bay gets 4.5 meg to 5.5 meg.
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.
Therefore I know this
1/I can get full speed
or
2/ any upgrades made to exchanges/lines since then have not enhanced but limited ADSL.

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...

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."

If this is right, all this stuff /propaganda about distance from exchange, qualty of lines etc is all BS from Telecom...
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?
Surely this is (again by telecom) false advertising?
Is the Commision/Gov aware of this issue?

I am not a techie nor do I have a full understanding of DSlams and such....so stand to be corrected in my assumption


Have a Nice Day
