Anybody experiencing really bad international speeds at the moment? I can't even stream anything or surf any international sites. Here are some of the speedtests done on Cat6.

Yes, I have noticed extremely slow speeds over the last couple of days.

 

I had wondered if I was being shaped since nearly every stream seems to top out at ~20KB/sec - no matter whether HTTP, Usenet News, etc.

 

I'm on FibreX 1Gb/sec and had been very happy with it until a couple of days ago.

Tried calling Vodafone > 60minutes waiting time at least. Bit of a joke since this has been going on for the past few days. I thought it was just a problem my end but I have troubleshooted through everything.

In addition to Twitch.tv my latency in WoW is about 30% higher than normal. Didnt get a lot of joy last night with support although he tried to be very helpful. In the end he decided it was a twitch issue, but I think it is more than that.

Agree that it has been getting progressively worse over the last few days.

 

In the last hour or so it has become almost unusable. I'm having trouble keeping a vpn connection alive between vf and spark just within Wellington.

 

I'm not going to bother logging a ticket right now, I'm guessing someone already knows whats broken.

I think its still worth raising a ticket.

 

They dont seem to act unless they have multiple tickets!!
