johny99: Concerning that fibre 200 never obtains 100% in that table. Why is it even an option, why someone needs an EIR connection like that is beyond me.


Can you always drive your car at full speed in peak hour traffic in Auckland?

No but only because the roads don't have enough capacity. And Auckland freely admits they have massive traffic congestion issues.

This is not a good argument. For years TelstraClear HFC gave 100% of speed when testing to its own servers. This all changed when Vodafone acquired the company, reduced investment and decided to launch unlimited plans.

 

You can't say that getting 10% of advertised speeds is justfiable, not even with this argument.

Agree 110% that getting 10% of advertised speed is BS but 90% of plan speed is not to bad

Latency continued to climb after the last speed test result, so I ran another.

 

 

*sigh*

 

After that, I remembered that I need to start downloading a new NVIDIA driver too. I'm fluctuating between 150 to 800 KB/s. Not fun.

Island Bay, node WKH, cable 100/10, 9:15pm:

 

 

Similar results to yours, following a brief outage at 8pm.

 

Let's see what Friday's upgrades bring.

Internet connection spontaneously went down at 1:30 am on the dot, so I'm tethering from my phone at the moment. Could it be a cutover, by chance? :D

 

And if it is a cutover, it happened literally two minutes after the WoW servers went down for restarts, so good timing!

It's nearly 2:20 am now, and things are still offline, even after restarting the modem a few times. :( It's showing zeroes across the board for power levels, and it's been stuck on the DOCSIS downstream scanning step for a while now.

At least if it is a cutover, this is indicative of a lot of effort going into it!

Maybe having to use a disc-grinder and blow torch to remove the old node? :)

Hah! The Berhampore/Island Bay cabling does sound like a nightmare from what I've heard, so it wouldn't surprise me. I'll be happy once it's all permanently sorted, whatever it takes.

 

Sadly, it's 3:10 am now, and the connection is still very much dead in the water. :( The modem's still stuck at the same step, with all power levels zeroed out.

 

Fingers crossed that this is actually upgrade work and not some outage.

Connection is finally back after a bit more than two hours. Latency is all over the place, though. Here's a few pings to google.com to show what's up. Everything seems to be this bad, or even far worse. Seeing 400+ ms latency at points.

Latency is ~300-400% what it should be when running nearby speed tests too.

 

 

I want to get off Vodafone's Wild Ride. :(
