If you look at the notes on the system one it says it's replicating 203.21.20.20
namebench on my system has 10.1.1.1 as my fastest which is my router, however

When you are doing your Speed Testing.

Hi Ronni
Thankyou for all that info. I use 2 speedtest sites as recommended by Westnet.
Both connect to the iinet server. They are mirror.3fl.net.au/pub/speedtest

Hi Michael,
That's an understatement at the end Ronni. Reading through your list
of variables gives me the shivers. I spent a 30 minutes call with a
young (very helpful) bloke at Westnet yesterday when I could not make
my HUAWEI usb modem do anything beyond snails and dropout . The end

Just to clarify one thing.
John's problem is a slowdown of this internet connection. Let's call it

I agree with Robin it is not a DNS issue, as the technician would have checked
for this in his fault diagnosis.
Last Post to List, I can make your DNS PING response of 2-3ms if on iiNet

almost half of the disk is free. And thanks very much, Frank, for getting my

After modem back on 290KBs

Ok, now it is coming clearer, MTU

Adjust the MTU too 1432, see if that sustains speed.
