So I was on Orcon's Fibre 30 plan - 30 meg down, 10 up. 

Then I decided to switch to the 100/50 plan, so I called them and asked. No problem, they said, but you'll have to wait until your billing anniversary of 22 Feb.

Come 22 Feb - rebooted everything and tried the mighty speedtest, to make sure the change had been implemented.

The result? Well, there's been some change, my connection is asymmetrical, but that's about all I can say



They've successfully adjusted HALF my plan...

Very weird.

Time to setup your own web server. Otherwise at least any torrents you download will have good share ratios.

/Looking on the bright side.

Otherwise it could be an issue on the Orcon side not the Chorus side. Perhaps Chorus have changed you onto the 100/50 plan, but on Orcon their BNG still has you configured for the 30/10 (but no ingress shaping on egress).

I would ring up Orcon and get them to check.
