Hey, I'm considering moving to quic, and I did the speed page from their page https://www.quic.nz/status/

 

The results are below. It is worrying, that I'm not seeing around 1GB on their highest speed plan. Is this a temporary issue? I also tried yesterday with similar results. With my current provider when I test on speetest.net from home, the download value is consistently around 1GB.

 

I also use the vetta server (instead of spark) for this same test, which showed 2gb download but... ~130ms download latency? I'm confused.

Can confirm that we don't see this from Quic connections. It's possible there's some limiting between Spark/that tool - or some other issues with it at the moment. 

I also suspect that tool is still rate limited to 2Gbit (it went live before the 4/4 HF plan), and that limiting could be why there's fairly high ping on the download. Someone else might have some more info though!

Huh... that is weird.

 

Thanks for the heads up @zespri - I'll get one of the team to have a poke. Those results are definitely not indicative of a normal connection, so something in the matrix has gone wonky with the box that test polls.

@saf, any news?

 

 

Not on looking at the speedtest checker on the site. We have some big projects in flight currently which the team are focused on, but they’ll take a peek once they’re wrapped up. 🙂

 

Again noting this is an irregularity with the checker on the site, and isn’t impacting customer performance.
