Now the rot has really set in - not only are peak downstream speeds getting worse every night, but upstream speeds are falling as well.
Remember that this is supposed to be a 100/10 connection:
I rest my case, your honour

Haha race you to the bottom
Anyone from Vodafone got any updates? This was supposed to be fixed mid January.

Nothing like sharing some beautiful 4K, 60 FPS footage with your friend that's using their new 200/200 Mbps fibre connection, only to get constant buffering when trying to watch it through Vodafone.
Also worth noting that the speed test fluctuated around ~30-45 Mbps for most of the test, and only saw a large bump near the end. Even then, it's still under 50% of our advertised speed.
Vodafone's been way too quiet as of late. We're submitting our complaint to Vodafone now. Hopefully they reimburse us again. I actually was going through the process of escalating our complaint last time, but Vodafone refunded us rather nicely. I'm still ready to take that option if Vodafone does wind up entirely dropping the ball, however.

Monday 1 February 
Tuesday
Wednesday 
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
(All measurements via ethernet)
There's a definite trend here ...

We just upgraded our personal, internal network quite a bit. It's a shame that our ISP still can't get upgrades rolled out on their end.
It's also been a week since Vodafone has said anything here. Could someone at least throw us a bone? Please?
Then again, I'm not sure what's worse: Constant empty promises, or dead silence. Either way, Vodafone needs to fix their crap.

I woulda thought that the congestion would be over now that @freitasm has moved over to fibre?
Reality is that our usage wasn't a huge number - an average of 300GB/month last six months. Highest 360 GB, lowest 230 GB. You have to look for someone else to serve as the scapegoat.
