Did you have Cable TV also? if so end up going to Sky?

No, extracted myself from that a few years ago. Not being sport watchers, Netflix+Sonarr+Plex has filled the gap fine.

Could it be worth Vodafone looking at say who the top 20 users on each node is and moving them onto VDSL if available? In saying that if they did that then it confirms no faith in the cable network

Sure, I suppose they could, but I doubt it would do much to resolve the congestion woes. The big problem is that everyone and their mother is going to be using their connection at peak hours for Netflix, YouTube, etc. Many people have dropped television as their primary source of entertainment, and are now feeding their entertainment needs solely with the Internet.

At the end of the day, Vodafone really does just need to sort their crap out and solve the problem. Stop-gap solutions aren't the answer, unless Vodafone wants to continue damaging their long-term profitability. I for one almost certainly will not ever go back to Vodafone for anything after I finally ditch this connection. Vodafone has shown that they are a company that cannot consistently provide the service that they advertise. If they can't be trusted to offer even a semi-decent connection at peak hours, then why should they be trusted for anything else?

I'm glad that there's competition in the ISP market in this country. Sure, at the end of the day the lines are still owned by a small subset of companies, but if one particular provider gives terrible service, there are at least other options. In the United States, the choice is to basically go with the big-name cable Internet option, or with painfully slow DSL. We're pretty much in the same boat in Island Bay, but at least VDSL is competitive. I'm especially impressed with the speeds that gbwelly has been getting on VDSL.

Sorry, can you please jog my memory (as this thread is awfully long now), why have you not moved to VDSL? I can't quite recall the reason.

Thanks to TDR, our connection is fully free until Vodafone gets their issues sorted. While the connection may be frustrating, it's certainly difficult to complain about the price. ;)

Yikes! You tried restarting your modem? The latency and upload are both abnormally bad there. We're experiencing some congestion here tonight, but general web browsing is currently quite smooth overall, thankfully.

the max for VDSL is 100/50 or 70/30 depending on the line card. most people wont see that though as speeds are based on attenuation/distance.

Yep, the theoretical maximums for VDSL are quite impressive, but rarely do I see anyone get anywhere near what @gbwelly is actually getting. That's pretty much a near-perfect 70/30 line.
