Hi all,

Is anyone experiencing really slow speeds at the moment?

Were stuck around 0.7-1.0 Mbps ... often dropping down to 0.3. Speeds improved last night by resetting the modem, but it's back to a crawl?

Hello... Our robot found some keywords in your post, so here is an automated reply with some important things to note regarding broadband speeds.

If you are posting regarding DSL speeds please check that

- you have reset your modem and router

- your PC (or other PCs in your LAN) is not downloading large files when you are testing

- you are not being throttled by your ISP due to going over the monthly cap

- your tests are always done on an ethernet connection to the router - do not use wireless for testing

- you read this topic and follow the instructions there.

Make sure you provide information for other users to help you. If you have not already done it, please EDIT your post and add this now:

- Your ISP and plan

- Type of connection (ADSL, ADSL2, VDSL)

- Your modem DSL stats (do not worry about posting Speedtest, we need sync rate, attenuation and noise margin)

- Your general location (or street)

- If you are rural or urban

- If you know your connection is to an exchange, cabinet or conklin

- If your connection is to a ULL or wholesale service

- If you have done an isolation test as per the link above

Most of the problems with speed are likely to be related to internal wiring issues. Read this discussion to find out more about this. Your ISP is not intentionally slowing you down today (unless you are on a managed plan). Also if this is the school holidays it's likely you will notice slower than usual speed due to more users online.

A master splitter is required for VDSL2 and in most cases will improve speeds on DSL connections. Regular disconnections can be a monitored alarm or a set top box trying to connect. If there's an alarm connected to your line even if you don't have an alarm contract it may still try to connect so it's worth checking.

I recommend you read these two blog posts:

- Is your premises phone wiring impacting your broadband performance? (very technical)

- Are you receiving a substandard ULL ADSL2+ connection from your ISP?

Where abouts are you?
What is your service eg 100/10 cable?

Please use VF speed tests pinned to forums

For all we know you could be connected to a rural Conklin cabinet and testing over Wifi, With such little information not even a location we could add zero value sorry

Hi all,

We're located in Titahi Bay on unlimited Vodafone ADSL2.

We've recently switched from an 80 gig pack (internet and home phone) to unlimited. Speed problems started yesterday and are down to a crawl today.

We're over a km from the exchange, and have never had blazing speeds.

How do I post the relevant info from the router?

Always :(

PPP always dies for me and sometimes wont auth at all.

But this is solely related to my line and highly doubt you will have a similar problem.

Looks like nearer 3 km from exchange and sick at that.

Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

I see ... we only have one device connected to a single phone jack.

There are no other phone jacks in the house.
