Don't want to rant but just got off the phone with a vodafone ninja and that didn't my problem.

I recently joined vodafone broadband from another provider since I have vodafone mobile it cut down my expenses a bit to have mobile / broadband from the same provider.

Long story short I got fibre max and it worked fine with my UBNT Edgerouter X (700 Mbps down - 480Mbps up) , lastnight I felt my internet is sluggish and did a speed test and found out it's gone down to 100 Mbps down and 20 Mbps down.

Had a chat with a ninja at 1:00 AM and she suggested to call a ninja on 0800 438 448 to get my router settings checked, called the ninja and he wants to send me a new vodafone modem so they can troubleshoot.

Is there any other way I can get this sorted ? , I don't want another crappy router and I'm pretty sure there's no other issue in my home network.

Thanks in advance for anyone reading this.

@DiNav Please tell us how you are testing and where you are testing to?

As you are not using Vodafone provided hardware that actually performs well on a 1Gb connection chances are the issue is on your network

Edit: First fail I see is in the screen shot as tests are done over Wi-Fi and all tests should be done to the VodafoneNZ server

TEST OVER ETHERNET

Have you read any of the 500 other threads on the same topic?

@Linux , thanks for looking in to the issue , I turned off wifi and used speedtest.net and fast.com , this is a desktop connected to the router with a gigbit lan , I use linux mint as my OS. I can run any other test you want me to.

Thanks D.

@rushtoe managed to sort this out for me, it was an issue with the account.

Thanks again @rushtoe.

If it was a problem with the account how did some tests get very high results?

The high speed tests were 10 days old. New tests were at the wrong speed. Looks like an incorrect profile was loaded there somehow.

@linux, account was fine when I moved the providers, hence the results at the beginning of the month, they tried to fix an address issue related to the account and the plan was downgraded in that process.
