Could you ask? The majority of the chatter on this thread over the last few months is related to Island Bay.

And yet it seems there's never work being done there.

Just as in the above scenario, questions about WKH are rarely if ever answered directly, and frankly I've almost given up asking. Every answer from Vodafone talks around the actual question and every answer is the same - the next couple of weeks. Clearly Vodafone have no clue when WKH will actually be fixed, so at this stage the only sensible option is to assume it won't be any time soon.

This is why we just want a simple, clear answer. Please, Vodafone, get this fixed already. Shouldn't a connection qualify as a fault when it's this bloody terrible for so long? You'd think that Island Bay would be an incredibly high priority with how frustrated all of us in the region are. I honestly don't understand how this problem isn't solved, or even publicly scheduled for fixes.

Come on, Vodafone. Just throw us a bone.

Island Bay, 100/10 cable at 9pm:

A slow train-wreck. 

Netflix was really struggling for a while there. I couldn't get it to go above 64 Kbps audio bitrate, and the video resolution was tacked at 640x480. :\ Netflix's stats (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D) showed throughput and normalised bandwidth in the range of ~68 Kbps (!!) or something along those lines. The max sustainable video bitrate was - I kid you not - -2 Kbps. Those Netflix stats basically say that the connection is so bad that it defies all physics. :P

Fortunately, things are better now, but that was a rather perplexing couple of minutes.

You're still faster than half of NZ, mate. Stop complaining ;)

My dad is getting Vodafone cable next week. He's in Evans bay. I'll report back when it gets set up however, I have a feeling he will be calling me every night around 9 asking why his internet isn't working...

Starting to feel the congestion tonight. Actual performance is - as is often the case - worse than the speed test indicates. The speed test also started and hovered around ~20 Mbps for a good while.

Interestingly, Vodafone also no longer seems to host a Wellington-based Speedtest.net server.
