Slow UK Speedtest

I’m with exetel 100/20 HFC. Im getting really poor international speeds, even streaming video calls are a problem.
I get 5-15 Mpbs down and under 5 up to UK. Testing on belong mobile 4g gets me 60+Mpbs.

Would a couple of people mind testing their UK speeds? Doesn’t have to be exetel.

    Interestingly, I've noticed really poor speeds to UK recently as well, but more on the latency side.
    I'm on 1000/40 fibre and below are my results.
    Ping should be closer to 200.

  • Even my vocus connection is better than that, which has terrible international routing.

    i can get 200-300Mbps to a local server on speedtest.com. who needs nbn when i can get those speeds using 4g

  • Strangely enough there was a HFC maintenance outage overnight and international speeds have improved greatly.
    Might be coincidence, will see if it lasts.

    Spoke too soon , it hit 7pm and international speeds have slowed to a crawl. 5 Mbps.

  • For future reference: speeds still jump around a bit, but overall are much improved.
