ramboky: The real problem here is congestion, as per the title of the thread. International speeds and ridiculous latency seem to be a whole different issue.
That said, has anyone here called Vodafone about the international problems? I know you certainly haven't, but neither have I.

Scotty1986: Because I pay Vodafone $100.00 a month to stream movies and TV in HD. They arranged their trip months ago. I started having issues 2 weeks ago. Can you lot stop trying to make a fool out of me and instead focus on the real problem here. Stop trying to bring down your fellow geeks!

BarTender: Has anyone tried to do iperf tests to US or UK servers during congestion to see how much packet loss is occurring??
I wonder how high it gets, would be extremely interesting to see the real level of impact the congestion is having. Anything more than 5-10% packet loss and your connection goes into the toilet.
Jase2985: has anyone actually laid a complaint with the commerce commission?

Advertised download or upload speeds should be realistic and consistently achievable by consumers. They should not reflect theoretically achievable or maximum speeds as it is unlikely that customers will be able to get these speeds regularly given factors such as the customer’s distance from the exchange, the number of people using the service and the quality of the customer’s wiring. Broadband suppliers should have a reasonable expectation of being able to provide services that they advertise. Representations that suppliers can provide speeds “up to” a theoretical maximum may breach the Fair Trading Act if that maximum speed is not realistically achievable by consumers.
