Particularly useful for SIP VoIP is UDP and a bandwidth argument ...

UDP upload test, test-bandwidth is 1000 kbps (approx. 10 ulaw simultaneous 
calls)

The extra benefit here is the jitter and packet loss measurements.

For you in Australia, finding a mainland public iperf3 server would be best, 
but give iperf.he.net a try ... possibly talk your ISP into implementing an 
iperf3 server.
