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

You'll be lucky to get 41ms from Sydney to Wellington Sent from my iPhone On Sep 11, 2012, at 11:58 AM, Nathan Ward wrote:

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)
