That's to local .au servers. What is it like to the US? I think you can select a country with Speedtest.

I normally get full speed to the US. Single connections hurt because of the latency, but the capacity is there.

The main issue was the monopoly on transit, but domestic competition has helped a bit.

yes I have gigabit fibre (in Dunedin), uncapped - I get close to full speed to local speedtest servers - but sadly only ~100Mb offshore to the US - 'sadly' because 100Mb is plenty for almost everything .... the big issue though is latency - speed of light and router delays across the Pacific

Good to know, thanks!
