I am so eagerly awaiting the end of September. I am on the 100/10 plan. Tonight's download speed is 5.3Mbps.

The thing that really grates is that they must've known this was going to happen. If they didn't, there is something seriously wrong with their strategic capacity planning. Either way, it's poor.

Still, the Vodafone engagement on this forum thread has been most welcome and made a difference.

Jase2985: has anyone actually laid a complaint with the commerce commission?

From http://www.comcom.govt.nz/dmsdocument/1111 [my emphasis is in bold]

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.

Wow. What a very poorly written document by the Commerce Commission. I guess it shows how much things have changed in the 8 years since that was written.

I hope so. Last night Amazon Instant Video stopped altogether, Amazon Fire TV wouldn't load, the only way to watch anything was to connect using the DSL line.

Probably ISP caching.

So it's Vodafones transparent proxy causing issues above and beyond the issues on the cable network.

My node was on the list today... Download speed improved, upload speed is currently 1/6th of what I've been able to get during the most congested times over the last couple months :-/
