Hi

I am contemplating moving to snap when I move into my new home next week (its right next to a VDSL enabled cabinet) but I used to be with snap back in 2009-2010, and I remembered that there would be quite bad slow downs around peak times, I was wondering if that is still happening, and is it quite noticeable on VDSL?

Regards

A.

Even tho you'd be on a different connection, youll probably still be sharing the same bandwidth as everyone else - some ISPs may separate connection types to put them into different bandwidth pools, but you'd have to ask (and they might not say).

I'm able to get 90% line speed domestically fine 24/7 in Christchurch.

This thread may be of interest.

As far as I have found there's no real peak slowdowns in terms of national traffic.

Peak time slow downs are more of an issue with International traffic (all the stuff most people want to access). National isn't usually an issue.
