Kodiack:

ramboky: The fact remains though, the speed tests are matching real world experiences, the techs already know the issue and they're working on it. This thread is really just a way of venting, not a means of giving diagnostic information to Vodafone.

This hits the nail on the head.

Admittedly, many of my recent posts in this thread aren't to help diagnose things further. We all know there's an issue. The nice thing about this community is that we're surrounded by other people with similar frustrations. We can let off some steam and have our complaints acknowledged by people that are struggling with the exact same thing. In a way, it's comforting to know that I'm not alone.

Additionally, my many months of speed tests in this thread were also a huge reason that we were compensated so well when we contacted Vodafone. We've effectively documented these issues for a very long time, and being able to objectively show those results helped the agent make an educated decision.

Plus, as I mentioned in my previous post, we usually run speed tests after we notice things are running poorly. If I run a random speed test during off-peak hours when things are behaving, chances are it will be comfortably hitting 115+ Mbps. But when latency shoots up and website performance plummets, usually there's at least some sort of abnormality in the speed tests as well.

Are speed tests the most reliable forms of measurement out there? Heck no; they're far from it! Are they better than simple, possibly subjective complaining? I'd certainly like to think so.

Don't disagree with this. I probably should have added to my earlier post about speed tests that other info might help solve issues quicker (if the root cause is unknown). For example, ping and traceroute data might be more useful to the techs and Voda staff watching this and many other sites than speed test results (http://www.howtogeek.com/138771/htg-explains-how-latency-can-make-even-fast-internet-connections-feel-slow/).

It can also be useful to know what's going on with the connected devices and home network. It probably doesn't apply to any Geekzoners, but the techs need to eliminate those cases where complaints about speed dropping are caused because the old man's logged off the PC and gone upstairs to use the laptop on wireless because the kids are making too much noise now that they're playing online games and watching videos on their devices now dinner's over. It does happen!

Hi everyone

Just posted - http://community.vodafone.co.nz/t5/Network-status/Cable-broadband-upgrades-in-Wellington-region/m-p/196588#M1018

node W02 in Avalon

node W46 in Wainuiomata/Lower Hutt

node W80 in Kapiti

Scheduled to be worked on today, in that order. May be more as well, will update as I hear news.

Unfortunately the team ran into a couple of delays today so this work has been postponed to tomorrow. I'll update as I receive further confirmation from the project manager.

They're proceeding with those three nodes now.

And... those three nodes are done. Rather complicated ones apparently.

There is more work planned soon for Wellington and Christchurch. I'm not sure if there will be an interruption to service while it's carried out, but will be sure to pass on info as I receive it. There will be further testing completed before exact timeframes are confirmed.

Guess we're probably not on any of those nodes. Already seeing degraded speeds and it's only 6 pm. D:

Todays planned work could not go ahead due to another issue (in media today) and resources were streched so this work is now planned for tomorrow

Thanks

My "100/10" cable went down at 11pm precisely, after a slow night in the 50s.

The pleasant surprise was that it came back a minuter later, at twice the speed:

... presumably because some other local users had been disconnected?

sigh.. and yet no internet again in Brooklyn.. this has been happening for 3 consecutive days.. I hope this upgrade is really worth it..

Vodafone, if you are doing this upgrade, can we use our mobile data as alternative internet without being charge.. it was like couple of hours of no internet per day...

There aren't any customer impacting cable changes happening today and no known issues listed for Brooklyn. Please troubleshoot as normal and get in touch with tech support if needed.
