I have had 1-2 blips each week since cutting over to DHCP (HF 2K). This morning we had a couple of outages around 8am, and I know there was a network outage last night at around 8pm (I don't think I was affected by that).

Anyway things came right before work (from home) which was a relief.

The whole day things have been smoking quick. Not sure if there were running repairs this morning or not. I have notices a marked improvement on my phone, desktop and laptop in terms of snappiness/latency.

I made some tweaks to my APs which might have helped with AP roaming/handoff. so it could have been that.

But anyway I thought it might be nice to report good performance since it's so easy to complain when things are bad.

Yep, they've definitely been working hard on the network. For the most part it's pretty smooth these days!

Experiencing the same here, connections have been generally smooth for the past few months. Some of my services that are more sensitive to network latency have been rock solid.

Even browsing the web has gotten noticeably snappier this week.

Certainly can't complain about the speeds on the "standard" 900/400 plan, either...

2degrees has been fast and reliable for me for for a decade. Reliability and performance should be the default, rather than being so unusual it's worth posting online about!

2degrees was fine until it got ported over to Vocus - then I had weird routing and performance issues. Their call centre was chronically understaffed also. I voted with my feet on that one - still have my mobiles with them tho.

No issues here. Support has gotten slower, but they answer the phone at some point.

Complete opposite for me. It went downhill. I had the same problem as Nick and was only getting ~400Mbit: https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumId=81&topicId=310489

But, never got migrated to Vocus and at that point couldn't as I had a /29 IPv4 subnet. I've had really solid performance with Quic even on their old network and really have had few problems myself. They've been great.
