I have a Voyager max fibre link as a second connection and been trying a few things out.
Very impressed with speeds apart from Usenet. No problems with wider speeds.

On my Spark connection - I easily see 110-115mb/sec.
On my Voyager connection - looks to be hard limited to 60mb/sec.

What Usenet - NZB speeds to others experiencing?

How many concurrent connections are set? Tinker with those. Is it unpacking as it downloads or after it finishes? If it's while downloading, is it to the same drive as the download or another drive?

100

Unpacking after it downloads

If I switch to Spark - I'll see the huge speed increase so intrested to know why. All other speeds with Voyager have been fine including several speedtests.

Interesting, when I was on Voyager i had the same experience, max 60MB/s.

Tried all sorts of things and gave up and just accepted it in the end.

In my experience it is worth raising this through an email Voyager Support: support@voyager.nz. I have raised several issues this way and have always got a response that was good with detail and suggestions.

Thanks - have flicked the team an email. Will wait to see what they say.

Hey all. Sorry I'm not aware of this service. What's the IP endpoint? If you access over DNS, what does it resolve to via spark VS voyager? We don't rate limit access to any service or protocol nor do we restrict access to anything on the network. If there is a rate limit somewhere it'll be off our network. With the above information I can do some digging and ask some questions.

Regards,
~H

Good to know - Thanks.

Endpoint - news.newshosting.com
Here's some traceroutes - Routes look very similar so confused why the difference in speed. Consistenly max's at 60mb/sec on Voyager and ~ 110 mb/sec on Spark. Have run several tests to confirm. Spark connects via PPPoE. Tried Voyager on both PPPoE and IPoE. Nothing else changed between the test. DNS is Cloudflare.

Any other developments?

Any comment from Voyager on throttling?

The little things make the biggest difference.

Simple question, is usenet still a thing in 2024?

Nope - no further developments. Voyager confirmed that there isnt any throttling so not much more that one can do about it.

Instead of running traceroute, have you tried using mtr so you can see if you have any packet loss or slow downs in traffic along the way?

I did but didnt spend much more time looking into it. Seems that its upstream from Voyager that could be causing the diff'ering speeds. I've tested a few other ISP's and seem similar consistent upstream speeds to Voyager. Spark's upstream does not seem to have this issue.

Provided some answers for now which is good enough.
