Re: Kiwi Internet Help Needed
Was the 200kbps in the UK with Virgin?? My connection back there was constant 2mbps no problem, youtube for instance worked every video through without play 0.5sec/buffer 3minutes ratio i get here.
As for skype the video calls just drops all the time, I'm upset at hearing my 2yr old yell "daddy I can't see you" everytime the bloody thing loses connection and I have to redial.:curse:

You've probably got a few extensions, especaially around an apartment, that could be influencing your connection quality as well as the pair that is coming into your place from the street - looking behind panels for services in new builds often leaves me amazed that anything works! Telecoms or power!
Our line here is pretty poor and noisy, expecially since we had a business line piggy backed, but we still get about 400k, again we are out in the sticks so I'm not too worried - the upload speed is going to mess with your Skype more isn't it?
What does the router do or say when these events occur?
You can get reasonable video with 256k and perfect audio with 56k.......
Seems like you were a bit spoiled in the UK.........welcome to NZ......

Well just done the ping test and I don't understand the info but what I can summise is I tested a route from london (10 millisec) via the states, the signal slows to 60millisecs in texas and when it hit the global gateway in nz it hit 450m/s response time which is the red zone. TNZ owns global gateway, the signal then goes through 5 slow servers here in JAFAland before my house slowing the signal.

Cmd then opens then type -tracert (URL) -and you will just get the figures.
Some servers may have it disable and it could time out.
