Consumer Cable (130/10), Christchurch South 

 

An improvement over last week for sure. Still using .43 & .44 for DNS (these are the latest ones for cable yeah?)

Still would prefer higher upload; I might have to PM you sometime johnr. Thanks for keeping us all updated, it really is appreciated.

Yay local speeds are up to 70mbps in chch but Youtube still falls over on anything over 360p. Web sites still take forever to load if they load at all. Sometimes it goes all 1995 with just text and no layout. So really no difference that is of use to me yet.

International bandwidth is in the toilet again. I'm getting a whopping 30 KB/s on one file download.

If your local speed test results are good could you please start a new thread?

My local speeds aren't good. My international speeds are just worse. The speed tests also seem to be highly overestimating my real-world performance. Even local downloads are significantly lower than what the speed tests indicate they should be.

I'm trying to help some developers debug some code, and just getting a few-megabyte build to download is a frustrating endeavour. It's taking literally 10+ minutes to download some things that should be finished in no more than a few seconds.

I'm really happy that things are getting sorted out, but tonight's been rough. That seems to be most Tuesdays/Wednesdays in particular, though. But trying to collaborate with people like this is maddening.



EDIT: The connection has degraded even further. There's also timeouts and stuff on traceroutes. Blech.

I'm pretty surprised Wainuiomata wasn't first on the list for remediation, perhaps less tickets logged even though it's must surely be the worst congested.
Sorry Kodiack, the 68Mb/s you scored on the 22nd obviously didn't last long then!

You and me both my friend. I have in writing from vodafone via emails stating that the Wainuiomata node is one of the most congested ones but there were no plans for any upgrades. This was in the early days. I have been keeping an eye on the list of nodes being upgraded etc as posted up on the vodafone community pages and have yet to see wainui pop up on it.

Island Bay. Cable "100/10Mbps"

My local ping has increased from 8 to 32ms over the last 24 hours.  Speeds unchanged.

According to TrueNet, others have the same issue:

In Island Bay. Can confirm, have been seeing higher local latency. My speed test above actually showed 32 ms latency as well, and a speed test at the fairly non-congested time of ~4:30 PM puts me at 27 ms latency and 85 Mbps down.

I've just posted an update from the engineers to the http://www.vodafone.co.nz/cableupgrades page. The work scheduled for 1 September completed successfully, but the work scheduled for today has been postponed. Will post more updates as I receive them.
