My download speed is up, it's just my u/l speed which hasn't changed.

http://www.nzdsl.co.nz/module-Speedtest.phtml

Download Speed: 3683 kbps (460.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 1106 kbps (138.3 KB/sec transfer rate)

That's it!
I've called their helpdesk, and the download speed is now almost
450KBs.
Thanks for the link Mauricio!

Those telstra plans are damn expensive when compared to adsl

How much is the 10Mbps plan and what is the data cap (if any)?

40GB of data is about 10 hours of usage at full rate.
What's the point?
