Is it just me, or has telstra cable in got a rusty pipe somewhere?
Not everywhere, but to/from a number of places in the US at least.
I.e. using speedtest.net
Local CHC speed 2.9Mb/s down, 1.74Mb/s up - fine.
Los Angeles 3.3Mb down 1.8 up
Boston 4.6/1.14
but...
SanJose 0.05Mb/s down 0.7Mb/s up
Works fine for me.
Down Up (Mbit) Latency (ms)
christchurch 48.16 2.37 60
wellington 12.01 1.72 190 (no peering - internat.)
auckland 44.03 2.35 83
san jose 4.31 1.31 189
san francisco 16.5 1.86 191
los angeles 15.10 1.60 191
boston 13.46 1.92 234
Nowever san jose is noticeably slower. Perhaps SmugMug just isn't up
to running a test server? Looks like its them, not you.
...Just did a retest and got 47.9/1.86 Mbit. Yay for the internet.
