Yes good to see if your firewall or Virus checker is loading it down.

Mind you using it at a time of day it can make it seem slow

I am getting 3790 kbps at this time and , firewall and Virus checker had no

The test results from the tvnz site seem quite inconsistent compared
with other test sites.
Test + pinch of salt.

Don't use the speedtest.net xnet test server at the moment, its laggy as
hell. I'm with xnet and i'm getting a 137ms ping to that server, but
only 67ms to the enternet one in tauranga. Throughput is shite at
1.3mbits/s here today from all three speedtests i've run

TEST MODE ON

Speed test #1 to:
http://download.tvnzondemand.co.nz/d...tml?s=200%20MB
3 tests: Best to worst [in kbps]
3453, 2413, 1786

*appears to be west coast US server.
(Does TVNZ store their content offshore?)

[Not good on a 10Mbit down, 2 Mbit up Telstra Clear Cable plan.]


OK, test with other NZ Test sites.

Consumer Org speed test
http://www.consumerspeedtest.org.nz/
3 tests: Best to worst [in kbps]
9503, 9402, 9316


SpeedTest.net
http://www.speedtest.net/index.php (to US west coast server to match
TVNZ test)
3 tests: Best to worst [in kbps]
8240, 7410, 6540

NZ DSL
http://www.nzdsl.co.nz/module-Speedtest.phtml
3 tests: Best to worst [in kbps]
10592, 10157, 9003

XNet
http://www.xnet.co.nz/speedtest/
3 tests: Best to worst [in kbps]
9378, 7968, 6861


So, you're right. If you want to download *anything* from TVNZ on demand
you'll get really CRAP download speeds....
