It better or the guy that released this media statement will be embarrassed.

Has anyone had full speed at night yet?

As is clear from TrueNet’s report, Kiwis have embraced a new world of digital content, rapidly taking up Internet TV and streaming services. The exponential growth in demand for data has meant the entire industry is under pressure across all networks – Vodafone is seeing 7% growth every week as video streaming and the use of services like Netflix and NEON increase. Video streaming accounts for approx. 60% of Vodafone’s home broadband traffic and the rate of adoption of our UFB plans has tripled over the last year.

We appreciate the frustration our HFC cable network customers in areas of Wellington and Christchurch are experiencing at peak times. We’ve already made improvements but there’s further to go and we’re continuing to work to fix the problem. We’ve invested more than $6 million into improving capacity and expect 90% of this work to be complete by August 2015, with 100% completion in September.

Chorus has also acknowledged congestion across multiple areas on its network. It is completing its DSL capacity and upgrade programme, with work scheduled for July which will improve services for all New Zealanders.

Vodafone’s network performance is consistently ranked higher in other surveys including Google’s HD Verification and the Netflix streaming report, which measure a greater range of data points than the TrueNet report. Netflix published results showing that in June, Vodafone customers enjoyed the second fastest Netflix streaming speeds in New Zealand – only 0.01 of a megabit per second behind the leader. Globally, Vodafone New Zealand performed better than most ISPs around the world, including all ISPs in Australia, UK, US, and Canada.

This week for Wellington cable (TrueNet) - averaged hourly downstream speeds:

I've never seen it as bad as this - the speed dip is wider and deeper than ever.

9:07 PM here in Island Bay. Pretty good for a Tuesday night, and much better than what I've been putting up with most nights. Still excited to see how things are looking after Vodafone confirms that they're fully done with the upgrades, though!

@Scotty1986 With respect, you're obviously not on a congested node, every single speedtest you've posted has be at or around max speed. Probably not much value in continuing to post them.

Lots of work happening in the next few weeks. There will be a brief interruption of about 2 minutes for cable internet customers in Christchurch today.

I disagree, the more info that Voda can gather the better they can evaluate what is needed and where. I stated a while back that I am not rubbing my speeds in, only providing information for Voda to work with. Who are we to say that this is purely a congestion issue? Could be other factors involved, and maybe the difference between good and bad speeds has something to do with the hardware at my node and giving Voda access to my speeds could help them really nail down the causes. I don't see the harm in posting a speedtest result now and then.

Only trying to help my fellow Geeks get the best possible speeds, but if you feel that its not helping I will stop.
