Re: [nznog] speedtest.net - Texas to Wellington vs. Texas to Christchurch

I would really recommend www.geekzone.co.nz for this sort of general discussion. You might also consider joining Internet New Zealand and raising these sorts of issues there. If you're posting to this list then some detailed technical information really is required, such as trace routes from source and destinations so we can get some idea of where the issues might be. I suggest, as an operational list, we are very much interested in seeing the fastest Internet space from New Zealand that we can, but you do need to meet us half way with a detailed explanation of the technical issues so we can make some sort of informed comment. www.speedtest.net is not a good test tool for many reasons that can be found on Google if you're interested in performance testing.

Perhaps you should call your ISP / service provider for support. This is a network operators group after all.

You'll be lucky to get 41ms from Sydney to Wellington

There's very little information about your tests here. What exact hosts are you trying to test to?

I suspect you'll find that these numbers are correct, because Citylink have some anycast servers in the US.

41ms is certainly not the RTT from Texas to Wellington, it's more like 150ms, at a guess.

So, "What the hell is going on in Christchurch?" - nothing.

I was having some issues transferring to/from one of my Rackspace VPSs, so I run a few tests on speedtest.net from the VPS to various parts of NZ.

I expect SOME difference, but these are outrageous. Basically: What the hell is going on in Christchurch?

Ping 41ms - Wellington (CityLink) 167ms - Christchurch (Snap) 182 - Culverdon (Amuri Net)

Download (transfer to Texas from NZ) 152.79 Mb/s - From Wellington 2.35 Mb/s - From Christchurch 1.99 Mb/s - From Culverdon

Upload (transfer to NZ From Texas) 69.28 Mb/s - To Wellington 18.97 Mb/s - To Christchurch 7.48 Mb/s - To Culverdon
