Cape Town speedtests seem t ohave a problem over the past couple of days. Thread over at the xbox forums

Well the closer to the exchange the better speed and latency. Although the copper quality also plays a big role.

Moral of the story. Closer to the exhange is best!

Gary the Cape Town speedtest server is broken afaik. I get better speeds to Jo Burg than I do with Cape Town.

JHB is faster for me too :O

 

[LazyLion]

Ja, Joburg is faster....

but... The Cape Town one seems more accurate since I can't download anything faster than 40 kbps.

Hmmm, so much for the speed testing sites.

The best way to test is to grab a file from an FTP site and watch your download speeds.

I tried ftp.is.co.za for the local test. (cos I am on the IS backbone)

and for international I tried MIT's public FTP site.

Both FTP sites download at 420 k/sec

So I guess there is nothing wrong with my international link.

I cancelled my Giganews account and signed up with Astraweb.

Now I am getting 385 KB/s on my news server downloads again.
