Chris,
I'm on the standard JetStart upgrade(?) running off the Burwood exchange in
ChCh 3.2k from the exchange.
Alcatel speed touch pro router and XP Pro.
I went to the bandwidth place and here are my results.
Communications 942.9 kilobits per second
Storage 115.1 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 8.9 seconds
Subjective rating Good

Mind you it was 12.12am.
And from JS games
Your line speed is approximately 1852 Kbps or 227 K bytes/sec
Test2 & 3 done about 20min later was the same.

Hope this helps,
Biff

I have Telstraclear's version of JS+ ( I suspect it *IS* still JS+, just
rebranded as Highspeed4 Flatout ) and the results are similar but not
quite as bad as Nathan's.
International ( tested at http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/ is
593.3 Kbits/s ( 74KBytes/s )
National ( tested at http://www.jetstreamgames.co.nz/speed/ is
1987.3Kbit/s (248KBytes/s )
So the problem is not just with ihug.........

Chris.
