@Nepia It depends entirely on what suburb you're in. I could have the NBN tomorrow, but I'm certain it would be worse.
Is that cable?

VDSL

@NTA said in The Interweb:
The new office in the CBD has a bit of pull.
Is that on the NBN or some other network for business (I don't think I've seen a residential plan over 100Mb down)? That's awesome, although my sister in provincial NZ gets similar speeds.

and I thought I was doing OK at home

@Stockcar86 what do you pay per month for that?
Here, on shitty copper VDSL at 17/3 I'm forking over $60. Includes a DID but that isn't worth much.

$129/month for Gig fibre

Would happily pay that if it was even available

So the latest Speedtest Global Index is out and Australia ranks about where we expect them to be - behind Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, Guam and Belarus sitting at 55. NZ is seeing the fruits of the implementation of a proper fibre network and sits at 20.

Weirdly Oz has fast mobile speeds.

@nepia mobile is relatively easy I guess. And mobile networks know it, providing good speeds but shitty data limits to help make money.
Contrast to Korea/Japan which are world leaders in fibre speeds, but relatively slow mobile networks. They don't need it because wifi saturation.

Not the best 'survey'y a long shot.
Speedtest results are significantly skewed by over-excited geeks that have either forked out a lot of money, moved location or simply leeched off a business connection then want to show someone that all important picture of how fast their connection is.
There is no way in hell NZ has a benchmark speed of 60Mbps
That speed is certainly available to a good portion of population but a vast number haven't taken it up.
Population availability and geographical availability are also big issues in NZ and Oz. -

Hey, we're taking a swipe at OZ's dodgy infrastructure here ;).

I thought that horse had been well flogged, although it is good to send Nick off to work in a grumpy mood after struggling to download porn on his dial up before the missus catches him.

I live here and have to put up with it so will keep flogging the horse ....
