Going by the times shown in your listing, other people are likely to be using the cable at the same time (unless you're a BOFH), which may interfere with the test. Conditions on the wider internet might affect it as well, depending on the path between you and the nzdsl site. What happens if you run two tests from different sites at the same time?
I just ran the test and got 770/119kbps on an "up to" 2M/128k DSL line, which is actually a little slower than my previous attempts. In my case the limit is probably due to the length and condition of copper between here and the exchange. I guess there'd be little point in me buying a faster connection! I'm not really sure why all those ISPs want access to the local loop in that state ;)
