Evening all,

Is anyone else getting high latency with Voyager at present?

For example, ping to 1.1.1.1 currently returning around 85 ms instead of 10ish. Ping 8.8.8.8 returning around 105 instead of 35. Lag in Warcraft, disconnections in Elden Ring.

Is this happening to anyone else at the moment?

Edit: I just noticed that the status page showed a "potential service interruption" in Tauranga today, which has supposedly been resolved. I'm in Whakatane, not Tauranga, but could this be related or just a red herring?

Yep I'm seeing this now. Also very slow speeds. Called Voyager but they're putting it down to a network issue and don't seem overly interested in fixing it.

Seeing this issue in Whitianga and Thames, but not in Alexandra or Auckland (the only places with active Voyager connections I can test from).

Well, in that case, time to put a movie on and it'll hopefully be all good by the time I'm done. Or, at least, by the morning.

No issues here in Auckland

1.1.1.1 is 2ms and 8.8.8.8 is 25ms

Movie over, latency still high (although possibly not as bad as it was?), status page unchanged.

I saw similarly high latency on Compass in Christchurch until a few moments ago, could have been something in common, is yours resolved now?

Bingo. Same here :)

Thanks for posting. It's always good to know that the problem isn't at one's own end.

That's really disappointing given all the good things I've heard round here about Voyager.

Same thing happened on Sunday evening. Smokeping docker logs showed everything jumped tonight for a couple hours.

Don't get me wrong the guy was lovely and explained I'm only guaranteed 5Mb/s which I was aware (actually thought it was 2Mb/s so bonus) but I said that the main concern was the latency change.

Yes, pretty sure it was Vocus. I work at an ISP with Vocus as backhaul provider and we observed high latency with packet loss down country from Auckland from 6.30PM to 10 PM. Unlucky for me as I was on-call tonight. Took me some time to figure out it had to be them.

For all I know, Voyager also uses Vocus as their backhaul network. I raised a ticket with them but no response as yet. Maybe someone here from Vocus can clear up some things?

I can see there was an increase in latency between 6pm to 11pm last night.

The team are investigating. I’ll report back once I have further info.

Heya everyone, just had an update on this.

It was fiber cut in Hamilton region, which caused the backup path to get a bit busy.
The cut was at 17:15 and was repaired at 21:54.

Apologies for any issues, and any lost raid time!
