I am thinking of switching to Vodafone - as it is cheaper than my current plan and secondly I am annoyed at my ISP.
I want to know if any of you are getting latency issues with regard to gaming - I play WOW.
Curently at peak times my latency is on avg around 180ms to 280ms which fluctuates to around 280ms to 400ms(sometimes higher if they have not provisioned enough international bandwidth).
I never had latency issues when I was an Xtra customer, so it is all new to me. I know latency depends on a lot of other factors.
I also know that Vodafone lets you sync ADSL2+ if it is available in your area, which with Telecome upgrades, my Exchange is now ADSL2+ (although I don't think I am currently syncing that with Orcon)
Item | Downstream | Upstream | Unit |
Margin | 11 | 35 | dB |
Line Attenuation | 35 | 20 | dB |
Data Rate | 4402 | 164 | kbp |
I know Vodafone offers an 30 day money back guarantee. But I don't want to go through the rigmourle of switching again, only to run into issues. If that is the case I will go back to telecom and pay them more.
Your feedback as an existing Vodafone customer will be most beneficial to me and I look forward to hearing your replies.
