When doing the Speedtest.net I notice big difference between Australian speed test servers to overseas site.

Very disappointed with Vodafone NBN. You get the advertised speed OK but when you select an overseas test site the download speed can be as low as 2MB which causes a lot of buffering when watching a European or Middle East live TV channels and if it’s in HD forget it.

I have complained to Vodafone but they keep on reverting back to the speed which is obtained from Vodafone Hutchinson’s Australian speed test server .

My old 12 MB Telstra ADSL was still getting 8 to 10mb from overseas test site which was good enough …

Can anybody suggest an ISP which has good overseas bandwidth, static IP and doesn’t cost the earth ?
