There's usually a lot between you and your destination site. Any one of the sections of the link can slow it down.
With the CDN systems out there it can be tricky to ensure you are actually using the same destinations when using different providers, nevermind whether or not the link actually follows the same path.
100M is an assessment of the link between "your" site and N4L. Beyond that you're seldom told the specifics...

Why might N4L [supposedly 100M connection] downloads speeds be consistently *under half* of what our current 100M connection download speeds are ??? (using same speediest/servers)?
Cheers!

Appreciate the explanation.
Our comparative tests were to the exact same destination (spark servers), over the same fibre 'wire'. I accept from your explanation that the different providers may use different paths. Current provider is GENi/Telecom.

Not in my experience. We're on 100 and is roughly symmetrical. 90ish both ways. Usually more on the upload than the down.

Hi All,
As per the previous message, we have been conducting investigations into the reported download speeds. Yesterday we made a change on the network which should resolve this issue. We have performed further testing today and have had some feedback which seems very positive.
