<p>Rubbish. He'd need Fibre to the premise for that speed, along with a fibre compatible router configured correctly. Copper line and an ADSL router connecting to the node couldn't do it.</p>

<p>Well, you know - he's a politician. See article below - ping speed is an interesting point... </p>

<p> </p>
<p>iiNet are saying their customers are getting some decent speeds - but I wonder how that is going to change as more users are put on?</p>
<p> </p>

<p>And of course, the copper is the thing as the article says - particularly if you're more than about 1000m from the node by wire. Even if you're closer, the older stuff might not be in quite the same shape and will just need replacing anyway.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At which point its as cheap to put in fibre and be done with it.</p> -
<p>Australia is fast getting left behind and the latest announcement of curtailing the NBN even further is going to hurt.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Basically, when they get around to it, there will be primarily FTTN (something NZ has had for a while now).</p>
<p> </p>
<div>According to OOKLA Stats.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>World Benchmark: 21.7 Down/9.9 up with mobile 11 down/4.5 up</div>
<div>Australia: 15.9 down/3.9 up with mobile 18.5 down/8.1 up</div>
<div>NZ 25.2 down/11.2 up with mobile 26.3 down/ 10.1 up</div>
<div> </div>
<div>These numbers are only gathered from those doing Ookla tests and tend to be high due to most tests being done by geeks comparing dick sizes. They can probably be compared though.</div>
<div>By Ooklas stats again, over the past two years NZ has improved from 10.7 down, yet Australia started at 12.8. We surpassed Aus in June 2013 and have widened the gap ever since.</div>
<div>I know that the actual connection speed data for NZ straight from the Network Analysers within the network is around 16Mbps which includes rural etc. By world standards that is only starting to quite good and has been on a steady increase for a number of years as people swap out ADSL2+ for VDSL and Fibre (where available)</div> -
<p>This is (work) wireless connection provided at a client site:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.speedtest.net/result/3988078196.png" alt="3988078196.png"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>As you can see, pretty average. :(</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thankfully my home connection is much, much better.</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>This is somewhat deceiving. We mostly hover around 10Mb and in the evening we drop down and the ping is usually a lot slower.</p> -

<p>That's just showing off too ... although TBF it is coming from Keyville. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We both got a grade B though. :)</p> -
<p>As long as when I move to property somewhere near Hokitika I can get comparable internet to what I currently have at home, I'll be happy.</p>

<p>We have been here 5 1/2 years now, when we first arrived we were put on a waiting list to hook up to broadband. It took nearly a year, in which time we had to endure dial up.</p>
<p>Id say since then our speeds have quadrupled.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Your upload speeds arent that great though.</p> -

<p>Neither are the download's ... Sydney has cabbage internet, and it took us over a month to get it hooked up in the city. Bonkers.</p> -

<p>That's kind of the point. As the gap widens further there will be plenty of Oz dwellers deciding that maybe NZ is the place to run their business from.</p> -
<p>Those Oz ones from Nick and Nepia show almost no upload speed at all. The ISP must be choking the up to squeeze out as much down as they can. They will be screwed as soon as their customers wake up to the opportunities of cloud and providing services from uploading.</p>

<p>That's the idea behind NBN - the Fibre-To-The-Node plan is going to deliver minimal benefits to upload because copper. Fibre was meant to take us from Asymmetrical DSL to something more useful</p> -

<br>
VDSL at about 300m from the cabinet. Around the maximums you'll get anyway. <br><br>
Nick, that is copper with FTTN. You don't need FTTH for decent speed but that's about the current limit. -
