Island Bay, 100/10 cable tested over ethernet:

Another bad night ... 

Ouch. Aren't you just down the road from me? Because it's looking much better at my place:

These speeds were measured an hour apart - I was getting about 25Mbps at 9:30pm, now I'm getting about 75Mbps, like you.

The evening speed dip has followed the same time pattern for the last week.

I realised my mistake shortly after making the post. Working late tonight and completely lost track of the time.

8:13pm, Island Bay 50/2 over ethernet. Things are looking pretty good here.

Ropata: So glad I'm leaving. I can't believe I waited a year hoping it would come right. I couldn't believe how many better deals were out there when I finally had a serious look the other day. I'm doubling my speed and it's eleven bucks less a month without contract.

Patiently waiting for fibre to be available here. So close.

At last!

At last!

 

 

I have a great number of friends moving to fibre as well! All of them are beyond excited.

I may be moving house relatively soon myself. My work has offered me a permanent job, and I'm going through the ropes of applying for residency under the Skilled Migrant Category scheme. If all goes well, buying a home of my own is one of the first things on my agenda. :)

Fantastic! Got mine in the mail yesterday as well and all signed up for an early March installation!!!

When we bought this house one of the conditions while searching for a property was "Can this house be connected to cable".

How far away this seems.

Hah! The times have definitely changed!

But - to Vodafone's credit - we have been compensated incredibly well for our interruptions, and the connection was fantastic all of yesterday. I was getting a solid 130 Mbps at all times, and I didn't experience any fluctuations in latency. Was the work in Island Bay completed, perhaps?

Maybe I'll get to try out Vodafone's upcoming gigabit before I'm ever in a position to switch to fibre. They do still have a chance to win me over instead of just being "that thing we use until there's fibre".

You have been compensated? Lucky you.
