Kodiack:

YouTube is practically unusable this afternoon. Videos constantly sit there without playing for minutes on end.

How much longer are they making your connection free for? Forever?

And loading issues again.

EDIT: and resolved. Again.

Seems to last ~10 minutes.

The congestion is now reaching the point where Netflix is having trouble, bandwidth going below what is required.

My mobile contract with Vodafone is coming up soon so might switch everything to either Spark or 2degrees when that comes up, assuming W40 is not getting an upgrade soon.

At this rate, it almost seems like it, haha!

I think we're nearing the tail-end of it, though. Congestion has been a complete non-issue since the work. :) The issues we've been experiencing as of late seem to be related to Vodafone's routing and caching.

Did you have any luck with the TDR?

I've been dealing with the social media team this past week running speed tests for them at peak and off peak times, best peak speed I achieved was 24Mbps on Friday tonight I'm right back to worse than ever getting 4.31 down. https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5449400221

Karori < 5 tonight. Horrendous. Glaciers move faster than Voda cable.

@ramboky if you're referring to my speeds they're better now (but not perfect)

Lack of Vodafone upgrades (and their occasional website access issues at 10/11PM) is encouragement to get fibre :P

Never. It may improve for a while. TCL kept it under control by pricing 100Mb/s plans so high and not offering unlimited. These are two things I can't see Vodafone doing. If Vodafone were wise they would make the move to docsis 3.1 and stick with 100Mb/s, but what they'll do is offer 1Gb/s unlimited at a great price and shag the network again.

Vodafone have chosen to under-invest in the infrastructure leaving many users with terrible interenet connections, yet the vast majority, including most people in this thread, seem content to suck it up and deal with it. I think Vodafone are wise, wise enough to know their customers are complacent pushovers who will overpay for a substandard service.

Frankly I don't care if Vodafone start offering a free pony with DOCSIS 3.1, they're too unreliable and too dishonest to do business with and simply not worth the aggravation.
