Foo: Looks like Karori (plus other areas) had cutovers done today

G'day Foo, it's been too long. :)

I'm getting daily emails from the project team and am updating the info on Vodafone Community for our operations team. This is preparation work still, more happening in Wellington today. Final cutovers coming soon.

Pretty stoked that for the first time since I signed up a few months back I can actually load websites normally, though my speedtests were always great I couldn't access a bunch of sites without forcibly refreshing them, generally getting better performance via 2degrees mobile data. As of Monday I can now load stuff.co.nz, geekzone.co.nz and twitch.tv and speedtest.net without hitting refresh 20 or so times. This was never a time of day or speed issue though, but apparently current work appears to have helped.

While speeds are around 50 MBps - not even close to 130 Mpbs achieved during the day time - it's not as low as four digits as previous day, weeks and months.

While not particularly fast browsing, it doesn't seem to timeout waiting for the likes of Google and other CDNs. Facebook still slow loading pages.

freitasm: Facebook still slow loading pages.

I've had this problem too, as has pretty much everyone else I know on Vodafone cable. It was actually one of the first things that the tenant that took up my old flat noticed about the connection!

I'm surprised that there's not more discussion about that problem in particular. But I suppose that the congestion is the most pressing issue at the moment.

First time in over a week that I have managed to hit over the 1Mbps mark around this time.

Gaming is still more or less impossible unfortunately.

Might have spoken too early. Google is back to the list of sites that slow down... Trying to manage Google DFP for example and it's not loading anything I need there.

Def improvements in speeds tonight. Cannot really remember when the last time was when I saw speeds above 1Mbps at this time of the evening.

This Facebook thing really does need to get sorted out after the congestion's resolved. It's 1 AM, and loading a Facebook page took so long that I brought up a stopwatch. In total, it took more than 1 minute, 20 seconds to load. It's always fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net that it gets stuck loading on, so it's likely related to something with how it's accessing the CDN.

It's leagues faster to connect on mobile, even though I only get standard 3G in this part of Island Bay.

I've been viewing Chrome's Net Internals to gauge what takes the longest. 6-edge-chat.facebook.com takes a very long time to connect and download. Its DNS lookup resolved to 31.13.95.8, which is in Hong Kong.

Why is it only Facebook that's being resolved to Hong Kong? Every other site with a CDN is properly resolving to New Zealand or Australia.

Is this only happening on Vodafone's cable network as well? Or is it affecting other Vodafone services?

EDIT: I changed my DNS servers to these Vodafone ones and things seem to be resolving better. I'll keep an eye on things.
