Ok so i decided to create a new forum, as i was hijacking other forums with strikingly similar issues.

So it appear's that ISP's throughout NZ are experiencing similar problems with there internet connections.
With a focus on google.com and youtube.com which seem to be experiencing slow-loading times/dns errors.

After strolling through the forums (links above) it appears that they are not getting any closer to finding the source of the problems.

So I posted this in the vodafone section, as i am a vodafone customer.

So what could be the source of the problems???
I also have a snap internet connection in the same house and have not yet experienced the problems using the snap connection.
