I recommended a mate join 2degrees recently, all up and running he reported getting 300/500mbps on the speed test. That's odd, I do a speed test to show that it's just him. I'm also pulling about 300/500mb, check my UniFi daily speed tests, been getting 300/500mb for some weeks now.

 

So I post these odd results in another thread, and someone else is reporting the same issue.

 

So far, confirmed problems in:

 

  • Hamilton
  • Cambridge
  • Raglan

Another contact I have on 2degrees running the same hardware in Auckland is getting full speed, so it might just be isolated to Tuatahi. There's a mixture of ONT models, so doesn't seem to be this. All of us have reported this to 2degrees, but have not received an adequate response. Is there a cover up? 2degrees has shipped me a new router, same issue. Restarted the ONT many times.

 

Their line test tool is reporting the following:

Anyone in Waikato able to do a Speedtest so we can start compiling results?

Thanks for sharing the historical speedtest result @bensmithnz that change in speed related to the catalyst of this issue, a planned firmware upgrade of our Hamilton BNG on 7th August.

 

The QoS profile was running an adaptation-rule, which was working fine prior to the upgrade. We've implemented a change to hard set the LFC's UFB product PIR/CIR as a fix/workaround this morning.

 

Glad to hear it's all working as normal again now.
