I'm running a speed test every 6 hours.

 

I'm rural Oamaru and testing to the Vetta server in Auckland on the Quic 500/100 plan.

 

Kids game online all the time and had no complaints from them about any latency or disconnection issues.

Aside from the recent DDOS affecting Vetta and Quic there hasn’t been any major outages. I can say that routing to Australia or Singapore occasionally takes the long way around (300ms to certain game servers) but this changes frequently. Mostly indie games, the more popular games like CS2 etc. are okay.

 

IPv6 also was a bit fiddly, had it working for a while but then stopped working and caused delays on mobile wifi due to timeouts so disabled it. Got it working again but had an issue with changing ipv6 DNS setting in mikrotik back from custom to ISP provided so have left it off since. (Kept flapping between quad9 and provided even though quad9 had been removed from config)

I have no issues, but they're not an ISP if you need your hand held

There was an issue for a bit on sunday. Discord had lots of people saying something about it but I lost interest in reading as people talk so much crap not related to the service in there, it and it seemed to come right.

Yes, there are a few rough edges, but overall, not enough for me to consider going back to Voyager.

 

 

The fact that the CEO of Voyager has quoted Hitler amongst his multiple anti semitic conspiracy theory posts should be enough reason for people to avoid Voyager.
