that might be because they are one and the same speedtest when it is
running if you look to the right of the speedometer it says sponsored by
NZ DSL.

I had a bad slowdown continuing from weekend before last. At first I thought
it was throttling because of the big downloads I'd been doing (I'm on
the "Broadband 3" plan). But after the three-day rolling average had
expired and nothing had improved, I began to worry.

This morning I got the obvious answer to my complaint: have you tried
power-cycling your ADSL router? And would you believe, it worked.
