Are these tests a joke?
There is no way in hell I am getting this speed. It was done just a couple of minutes ago at 11:40pm.
All the hardware is new. A new PC tower and new wifi hub with clear line of sight from the hub to the tower. The node is 25 metres, maximum. away on the other side of the road.
In outback WA when I'm at work, I can hotspot my phone and download stuff it tells me at around 4mbps and it is faster than what I'm getting now.
I'm with Foxtel, paying extra for the top speed and it is rubbish. I'll be calling them Monday about the extra payments. I went in fully aware of people's complaints about Foxtel speeds but they had a deal on that was too good to refuse. Unlimited data and full HD platinum tv for $154 per month.
Does anyone know how to check the veracity of these tests? I don't want to ring them up and run a test and have them tell me it's fine, because it's not.
At the end of the day, I can put up with it, but if I don't have to I'd prefer not to.

Does anyone know why Telstra restricts ADSL2+ to 1mb/s upload?

im with iinet and i have less than 1mb upload, i think it may be the same with all ADSL providers, maybe wrong

Im getting 2.6mb down, about 0.5 up.
Ive got no idea what the issue is.
Its a brand new ADUS DSL AC68U modem/router, I live in Clayton 3168 Vic.
Did i get sent a dodgy modem or would my lines just be old and sh*t?

On a 50 Mbs plan. Modem says its syncing at 90 Mbs but I'm happy with this. It beats the sit out of the 2.5 Mbs I used to get

Just standard Fibre in NZ, I believe we can get faster if we want to:
One provider lists their Utra Fast FibreMAX as:
Ultra Fast FibreMAX runs on the Ultra Fast Broadband network, providing speeds of between 700Mbps and 900Mbps download/400Mbps upload in optimal conditions
One provider lists their Utra Fast FibreMAX as:
Ultra Fast FibreMAX runs on the Ultra Fast Broadband network, providing speeds of between 700Mbps and 900Mbps download/400Mbps upload in optimal conditions
Can that be changed?I have but I found out my New Telstra Smart Modem is only Connected to the Mobile Internet and Not the NBN
NZ Net is amazing locally in NZ. Where they struggle is connecting to the outside world. Not many pipes in / out of NZJust standard Fibre in NZ, I believe we can get faster if we want to:
