I had my fibre UFB live for 8 days now, I noticed this morning line quality droped from about 10ms to 2ms just after a IP change/ONT restarts maybe?

Does UFB has all sorts of different profile like vDSL has? and I am guessing it's all on auto like vDSL does as well?

If anyone could share some light on this matter would be very educational, Thank you.

D1NZ:
Xternal: That ping drop is from changes made on snaps network this morning.

Alright thx, just on that note you know what has been changed on snaps network?

Hello All,

We are currently going through a project of pushing out more BNG's (Border Network Gateways - Juniper MX routers) into our network which will, when finished, span into 20 towns around NZ (from the 6 town's we used to have in place) this will mean that if you are in one of the towns that we deploy network in your first hop in a traceroute will be lower than it may have been previously, however in real terms it wont make any difference to international latency. every town that has UFB either now or in the future will be covered by this.

The good thing about locally connecting users is that we are able to deploy the likes of CDN's and DNS infrastructure closer to the user, we can also peer with other ISP's who also choose to connect locally making those paths more efficient too.

We have been pretty heavily investing in our network in the past few years, and shortly we will be updating and documenting this on our website, but happy to answer any questions here too!

(and yes once this project is finished we will finally be able to support static IPv6 entry's on UFB/DSL!)

Thanks,
TheRalph

danielfaulknor: I'm still connected to WLG, guess Dunedin is still to come?

Also does this mean that if I'm connecting between two UFB connections in a town, will it take the more direct route? In theory the latency should be pretty awesome then?

Hi Daniel,

Dunedin is planned to happen by the end of this month along with many other South Island sites, latest updates are that the equipment is installed and just waiting final testing before a scheduled (non service impacting) upgrade. and yes when we have completed each area you will take a direct route, so if you are going from say your work at Snap in Dunedin to your home in Dunedin the latency should be really low.

For an update, just off the top of my head (I'll get a full list from the team rolling this out) we are rolling out local BNG access in the following areas, which match up closely with the locations where Snap has physical network servicing Business Customers. (I'll exclude major city's as they are already covered)

South Island

Nelson (Complete)
Blenheim (Complete)
Greymouth (Complete)
Ashburton (Complete)
Timaru
Oamaru
Queenstown/Cromwell
Invecargill

North Island

Whanagarei (Under Build)
Hamilton
New Plymouth (Complete)
Taupo
Tauranga
Napier
Masterton (Complete)
New Plymouth
Whanganui (Under Build)

Sydney is actual in this list for Australian customers too.

Re a blog, some of our NOC staff have blogs http://blog.hoff.geek.nz/ but as you have seen we have done a reskin on our website, it will be fulled with much more content over the coming months!

But happy to answer any further questions here!

Thanks,
TheRalph
