I'm getting constant buffering now, even at 360p. Guess I'll find something to do offline for the next couple of hours. Won't be getting anywhere tonight with these speeds.

Any updates? Our connection was knocked offline for a dozen minutes or so. Wondering if there's any work being done.

Well, if there was actually work done, then there's no need to apologise. :) The downtime was a minor inconvenience at worst, thankfully.

 

Cheers!

Island Bay, cable 100/10 Mbps, node WKH:

 

outage 1:38 - 1:46pm, as above.

 

Latency was high before and after the outage - but reverted to normal after a modem reboot.

 

I'm getting full line speeds, as usual for this time of day.

 

I await tonight's peak hour with eager anticipation ...  wink

The connection seems to be behaving exceptionally well tonight. :) I ran a speed test after some connectivity issues to Battle.net, but it turns out the problem isn't actually on Vodafone's end for once, haha. Hope this keeps up!

So it seems like Vodafone is still having connectivity/routing issues tonight after all. Battle.net seems to be back up for all of my friends, and I can connect to Battle.net through the app, but I absolutely cannot get into any Blizzard games on Oceanic servers. European and Asian servers seem okay. Again, this is only affecting my flatmates, flatmates' friends using Vodafone, and me. I've got several dozen friends happily online now after Blizzard sorted the issues on their end, but it is not working here.

 

EDIT

 

About twenty minutes after my friends were able to get in, I'm finally in too! Always being last to the party is the "joy" of having Vodafone as an ISP, I suppose. :P

On a more positive note, the connection is still performing superbly when it comes to latency and straight bandwidth. :) At least I was able to enjoy the connection while waiting for Overwatch connectivity to be patched up.

Island Bay, cable 100/10 Mbps, node WKH, 9pm update:

A partial improvement after this afternoon's upgrade:

Started to slow down after 4pm, falling to 50 Mbps at 8pm.

Speed has picked up since then:





This is much better than recent nights.

Close, but no cigar.  wink

Hopefully there are more upgrades to come.

Tonight has been shocking, have followed this thread from the beginnings, had some ups and downs along the way but tonight is something else, 2 Mb connection

Same here, 2-3Mbps for the last two or three hours in Wainuiomata.  I couldn't even login to Geekzone before because it couldn't connect to the Captcha server.

Sigh...4.20pm on a 130/10 connection in Wainuiomata as well

 

 

 

 

On the plus side, my 24 month contract is now over so it would be good to get some answers otherwise I am shifting my services to another ISP and picking up VDSL. 

 

@MikeHales - Do you have an actual update with relevant updates around upgrades timelines or congestion relief?
