lokhor:BarTender:johnr:lokhor: I have 130/10 cable in Stokes Valley and have found the evening congestion really bad lately, especially international speeds. I have friends living in London and we try to Skype regularly but if we do it in the evening it becomes unusable and just robotic so there's no point. I ran a few speedtests to the UK at this time and it was ~2mbps down and 1mbps up. I have also found Youtube buffering in the evenings some nights as well.
Going off topic, This thread is about local peak time can you advise what your local speed is like?
I respectfully disagree it's off topic. On severely congested links the most impacted services are long tcp threads. So I can guarantee that if they are a on a congested link that will impact uk traffic.
Indeed, not much point in having fast local speed if all international is slow
going off your speedtests the topic in the thread does not apply to you as you are getting over 100Mbps on your connection to the NZ speedtest servers, your issues either lie in vodaones international handovers or on the overseas networks themselves, which vodafone has no control over.
so please dont contribute to this thread unless you are having local issues, as has been mentioned before. it just confuses things
maybe try starting your own thread if you want the issue looked into.
