The connection's continuing to perform well into this afternoon. YouTube still has its, erm, "moments", but last night was fantastic and today has continued to be good. I think our upload has reached a historical maximum as well, which is certainly promising. :)

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?
It is clearly going to be a question of time this, recent posts show a node upgrade seems to give a major boost in speed but if the node upgrades for Wainuiomata are still a long time away then yeah VDSL seems a good option
2 hours on, still crap. Plan was to stream the AB's game tonight but at this rate, doesn't look like it will be happening. FFS

Getting slower as the night goes on

Whatever the 8 minute outage was yesterday, it's done our Island Bay/WKH connection a world of good:
50/2 connection, tested using wifi so not even doing it properly
This has been pretty consistent throughout the afternoon and into evening. Guess 8 minutes is all it takes to power cycle a node?

Can we run a fibre cable to your node? :P

It's near peak hour. The connection is actually continuing to perform exceptionally well. Netflix has been an absolute pleasure, and my gaming experience is smoother than it's otherwise been all year.
Still going to give it a couple of weeks in case this is another false hope, but the cutover yesterday seems to have helped a heck of a lot. I'll stop posting here for a while if things continue to perform well, since I otherwise won't be contributing much to the discussion then. Expect to hear from me either as soon as things go south, or in a week or two if the connection remains consistently good. Hopefully it's the latter, for your sake and mine. :P

The second night after the upgrade:
I've been in the high 90s all day, just starting to slow slightly now:
Better than last night.
A huge improvement on the past few months.
