I’m getting dropped connections, slow performance, and generally an unacceptable service.

Just ran a couple of tests. Within NZ I got:

1. 984kbps / 132kbps
2. 1380kbps / 128kbps

To LA I got:

1. 138 / 129
2. 159 / 129

To NY I got:

1. 346 / 129
2. 279 / 129

Holy Crap!

The big question is, would I be any better running a piece of string between two yogurt containers? I think so!
