I've heard offlist that there seem to be a couple of providers in the same boat with regards to Internode speedtest node.
Looking at the pings of 59.167.169.4 (the host where the speedtest server is) it does look like the internode speedtest server IS in New Zealand (if you are connected to APE)
If you are not connected via APE then I presume it goes international and then comes back to NZ. What do the traces look like from Telecom and TelstraClear? If it does go international then should internodes server really be called a NZ test server?
Via TCL the route to that IP is rediculous: traceroute to 59.167.169.4 (59.167.169.4), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 (etc) 2 * * * 3 (etc) 4 ie2-g-0-0-0.telstraclear.net (203.98.50.2) 21.696 ms 21.694 ms 21.691 ms 5 ge-0-2-0-1.xcore1.acld.telstraclear.net (203.98.50.251) 56.405 ms 56.890 ms 56.882 ms 6 203.167.233.10 (203.167.233.10) 21.903 ms 22.046 ms 22.033 ms 7 i-0-0-4-0.sydo-core02.bx.reach.com (202.84.142.153) 45.523 ms 48.698 ms 48.694 ms 8 TenGigE0-2-0-2.oxf-gw1.Sydney.telstra.net (203.50.13.53) 50.416 ms 50.198 ms 56.678 ms 9 Bundle-Ether1.ken-core4.Sydney.telstra.net (203.50.6.5) 57.438 ms 56.959 ms 56.191 ms 10 Bundle-Ether1.ken39.Sydney.telstra.net (203.50.6.146) 59.414 ms 49.442 ms 51.190 ms 11 optusc1.lnk.telstra.net (165.228.132.206) 42.697 ms 46.932 ms 45.686 ms 12 * * * 13 * * * 14 * * * 15 203.208.190.233 (203.208.190.233) 220.372 ms 220.128 ms 220.325 ms 16 203.208.166.61 (203.208.166.61) 219.874 ms 218.108 ms 221.121 ms 17 so-5-2-2-0.toknf-cr3.ix.singtel.com (203.208.173.94) 219.897 ms 203.208.166.174 (203.208.166.174) 220.340 ms so-5-2-3-0.toknf-cr3.ix.singtel.com (203.208.154.18) 222.360 ms 18 203.208.166.205 (203.208.166.205) 218.837 ms 219.869 ms so-5-1-2-0.toknf-cr3.ix.singtel.com (203.208.145.214) 222.107 ms 19 AS4739.ix.jpix.ad.jp (210.171.224.202) 191.834 ms 196.885 ms 203.208.166.205 (203.208.166.205) 220.863 ms 20 AS4739.ix.jpix.ad.jp (210.171.224.202) 201.378 ms 191.895 ms pos5-0-0.bdr1.syd4.internode.on.net (203.16.211.57) 315.817 ms 21 pos5-0-0.bdr1.syd4.internode.on.net (203.16.211.57) 321.073 ms 316.046 ms 314.551 ms 22 gi0-2-201.bdr1.akl1.internode.on.net (59.167.169.1) 319.556 ms * * Across APE it's a single hop.
