This isn't using that speedtest - I'll do that soon, but right now I'm downloading this torrent and its at 400kB/s Download and 50KB/s Upload.

6942 down, 724 up - using nzdsl speed test - pretty happy, but I'm close to an exchange in the Wanganui CBD, using Xtra with Orcons DNS settings. I think the package is Explorer Pro?

Further to earlier comments I remain disappointed at the very small increase in speed I am obtaining. However in fairness I wonder if the DSL test is that accurate.
A check at http://www.jetstreamgames.co.nz/speed/1MB.html often shows a download speed three times higher than that at DSL.

Looking at the above speeds makes me feel sick.

I'm shocked at the upload speed of broadband. Im a home user and only send e-mails and surf web and my dial up speeds are 43kbs down and 822kbs. External dialup modems are the way to go for outgoing messages by the look of it. This was taken at 1.15pm on Monday (peak time)and are much faster offpeak.

Before:
2580 download
80 upload

Now:
1203 down
129 up

On Xtra Explorer. Tested several days/times to check for temporary problem but all within the same ballpark. Same would be OK, but worse really sucks!

I am getting

3000kbps down
120kbps up

On Go Large

Funny thing is I left ihug because downloading demos, linux etc was impossible. Now on go large surfing is impossible ahhhh!!!

Xtra Go Large
Download: 10 KB/s (used to be 240 KB/s)
Upload: 6.1 KB/s (can't remember what it used to be, but was much faster)

Taken at 1.42AM (offpeak), am not on fair use policy as it has been like this since my plan rolled over on 26th, which makes it almost impossible to go over 700MB even if I tried.
To Xtra's credit, they have admitted problems with Go Large since it rolled out on the 26th.

Hi Pat,

I'm in Oratia, Auckland. My ADSL (thru Iconz) is completely down-burger and has been that way since about Nov 1.

When it first went in (about 12 months ago) it used to be a bit intermittent, i.e. would go down for entire evening then come up the following day.

For the last few months it's been rock solid, but now no worky.

Have tried second router, no luck. I suspect all the additional traffic has degraded my signal (quite far from exchange) to the extent it has simply kicked me off. Not so much "unleashed" as "unplugged".

Xtra Everyday plan

Down: 1495
Up: 119

Is this the joy of living in the country (Wairarapa?)

Monday afternoon.

I have found that the upload is insufficient to sustain satisfactory video link with the UK on Skype.

Further to my earlier comment. Have now tested for 5 days regularly. Normal best download around 2050/2100 kbps. On busy periods has dropped to 961 kbps. All this using DSL test. Telecom test at www.jetstreamgames.co.nz/speed produces better results sometimes materially so. However as was getting 1930 kbps before purported increases am disappointed.Expected much better!!

When the dsl carrier is not down intermittently, since 24th October (sometimes every 4 minutes sometimes I'm on for 20 minutes), on Explorer, haven't changed yet

The above is not a misprint.
I am 4.3km away from the Glenfield exchange. I have called Xtra and there is no solution to get any more out of my connection. Heavy resistance on the line and distance from the exchange.

The only option for me is to go Woosh or wait for Wimax.
