sbiddle: If you have the technical ability try tagging some packets with a 802.1q tag of 4 and see what you get.

linw: @Mercutio. Thanks for your helpful reply to my question, above.

@Adappted. I am also on the Orcon 30/10 UFB plan.
For comparison:-

To Orcon and Telecom speedtest 27/8.5
Chicago 1.39/1.44
LA 2.4/2.5

Not sure how to do that...

Zeon: Don't jump to conclusions and make a huge drama - unless you are a kiwi where it is your job to complain.... UFB is superior to DSL in almost every way as a technology. Sounds more like an issue in the backhaul/handover/Orcon sphere.

Early adopter teething issues for sure. If internet is so important for you then why did you get your copper cut off until you knew the fibre was working properly. Or even get it cut off at all in case the fibre goes out at some point?

Can you post a couple USA tests for us?  Chicago and LA maybe Thanks

*update, things are currently down for me UFB & Phone so hopefully it means some tinkering is going on.  This is posted via my Vodafone 3G.  For the hell of it here's my vodafone wifi hotspot to Chicago:

You may want to try tethering via USB instead of Wifi if you can.  I've found it to give better performance.  Zeon's on non-ufb fibre so not really a fair comparison.

Adappted: Still no word from Orcon, still getting under 2mbit to USA :/

Nebbie: 
Possibility a issue with Vocus (Presuming Orcon still use Vocus) however issues like this with congestion to specific regions take some time to fix..... Just for comparisons here is a connection 1:1 30mbit of BW via GGI
