I've already raised a fault with our ISP, who have sent Chorus out to check thing out but not yet our end.

Strangely we are getting good Ping & Jitter by all accounts. Ping = 43ms Jitter = 6.4ms Loss is 0%

However our speed is non existent. Download = 0.70 Mbps upload = 0.48 Mbps - yep that's less than 1 Mbps

If anyone knows what would cause this, I'd really appreciate the feedback. Just want to make sense of it and not get any BS from our ISP

Cheers

Alan

You need to provide more information.

ISP? Plan? Connection type (ADSL, VDSL, UFB)? Wireless or Wired? Router?

If you're on ADSL / VDSL then please provide connection stats from your router.

Thanks for the reply...

Were on Nova Unlimited plan

This is a copper connection (we are in the country outside the available fibre zone)

The best we can get is ASDL

The connection status is connected

The router is wired but the test was performed on WiFi

Hope this helps

What does the Chorus Address checker advise for your Address?

What did the speed use to be and how long ago?

This issue has arrived this week, when we had no connection at all.

Prior to this we were getting around 7 Mbps, still slow but things worked.

on a side note: because we are just outside the planned rollout area, we enquired on the price to have fibre installed, an eye-watering $118,000! to bring the cable 2km up from the nearest cabinet.

We're also looking into 'point to point' but not ready yet as we need to trim some trees before this will work.

Have you checked out your own internal cabling?

What is the speed when modem connected to ETP?

Nova have kindly locked out access to the Router - so we can only go by the status lights on the outside of the router.

This sounds like your upload is being saturated to me which is very common on ADSL connections. Something like Google Photos / iCloud uploading.

Where are you based?

Hi

I Need modem stats for us to advise however

A family member of mine has just moved flats and is on a 2 month wait list for UFF in Hamilton
She was getting 1 mbps VDSL despite been 300M from the cabinet, turns out the internal cable had been rat chewed, replaced that and now getting 112/30

Its either upload saturation or Wiring

That is defiantly a good place to start, but it only updates every week

Without knowing your xDSL sync speed diagnostics is going to be difficult.

Since you can't tell this by looking in your modem your RSP will be able to tell you this, and if it is significantly higher than your speedtest results will show that your problem is very likely caused by you saturating your upstream which is a probable cause of your issue.

Jesus, Nova, why go with them? Even worse they lock out the router...why?
Mind you, I suppose it stops people who think they "know what they're doing" logging in and mucking around with settings and breaking something.

Get another modem and program it up as per this page

https://www.novaenergy.co.nz/help-advice/broadband-and-phone/how-do-i-set-my-own-modem-fibre-adsl-or-vdsl

Then post stats, where in the country are you based?

Thanks for everyone who responded, turned out to be a previous/old join in cable that failed between the street and house, a new cable sorted the issue thanks to chorus.
