The congestion seems to be back with a vengeance tonight. I'm also dipping to sub-2 Mbps at points on YouTube. :\

Hmmm... I'm wondering if it's just us. We seem to have some unique problems here....

We called Vodafone today to log a fault, but unfortunately they wouldn't let us because we weren't having congestion issues right when we called in (we were sitting at ~104 Mbps then). Waste of time, to say the least. :\ We're calling in again now for another shot, because - surprise, surprise - more congestion.



"130 Mbps"

17 Mbps right now. We've got a computer hooked directly to the modem for phoning up Vodafone.

We could have 100 Mbps added to our speed and we'd still be below advertised speeds!!

9.18 in Island Bay.  Not too bad on 130 Mbps cable

We just got through with our call to Vodafone. They still wouldn't let us log a fault, and the technician both blamed the modem and stated she was "seeing 135 Mbps from her end" while we were getting 17 Mbps. Eventually, we were able to speak with a team leader who kinda-sorta hinted at congestion since it was peak hours, but he seemed to choose his words quite carefully. :\ We were, however, eventually provided with the rep's email address to send further details to.

Ultimately, we still don't have any fault officially logged or any reference numbers to speak of. Just "notes on the account" and some (weak) assurance that Vodafone is constantly working to improve their network.

Dealing with Vodafone's support is just entirely way too frustrating. The reps seem to dodge the primary issue as much as possible, and seemed to be finding ways to blame our own network setup in any way they could. We had a computer hooked directly to the modem and our speeds fluctuated anywhere from 17 Mbps to 60 Mbps.

I'm still having issues too. This really isn't acceptable. How can they not let you log a fault? There are at least 5 people here, all in the same area, all with the same problem. During peak I often see bursts to good speeds, but they quickly taper off. And I'm starting to see Netflix and other streaming services falter again.

VodafoneDylan?
JohnR?

Where are you guys at? It would be good to get some feedback here, particularly as we don't seem to be getting help from your support team.

My own stats (above) are also from a PC linked directly to the Cisco modem by ethernet, and were similar to your stats at the same time.
I know that my modem is not faulty - VF have tested it recently wink

The same performance dip is happening every night, at the same time (8-10pm), and is getting slowly worse.

Record, record, record.

Congestion appears to be back in Petone too, getting Netflix buffering again the last two evenings.
