Upper Riccarton here, and I've also been getting awful speeds on the HFC network during the evening - I've recently been dropping below 10mbit/s on my 100mbit/s plan! I'm having to avoid decent streaming video entirely because of slowdowns and lag. Here are two speedtest results done this evening. Is there anything I can do to make this better, or does Vodafone really need to upgrade the network in our area?





Here it is on a good evening:



(I find it interesting that the upstream stays solid all the time, even getting to the point where my upstream is faster then my downstream!)
(And yes, I have restarted my router/modem, it's not an issue on my end. Both tests done on gigabit ethernet)

Riccarton is student flat central, and HFC is shared bandwidth media, so yeah I can believe it would be terrible during peak hour.
