Yep, possibly, I agree.  This is why I'm bringing up the recent Wellington/Porirua outage issue (Aug 20?) being a 'maybe' factor, and I did log a ticket outlining my grumpiness Laughing

Good to see its getting worse.
Shall run another one at 10.30pm and then whenever I get up. And then a 4 hr test while I leave for work


EDIT: Avast tried to update and came back with an error message. Not sure if its related to the speed issues, but its the first time in 5 years I have seen that error on the different computers I use

Last year was the beginning of more failures to come imo (around May 2009).


Absolutely on the money. They did some upgrade in May 2009, had some problem with it (there was an outage) and ever since then the quality has been rubbish. I first noticed it with Youtube but it has now spread to most international access for me being unreliable.

I've tried to get them to understand that May 2009 is an important date for them in terms of service quality but they just don't get it.

Around 2pm today (as low as 4Mb/s and as high as 9Mb/s):


Now:



That's some serious degradation imo even if you consider the additional people coming home etc. to use the net.

For interest on local performance which seems reasonable.  Buy more int'l bandwidth lately? No?  Have some chopped off to save money? Maybe?  Telecom doing something again to make you gag? Who knows.  Heard it all by now ...

As far as my ticket goes, I'm not going to run the "tool" just by fact that my connection is fine.

Exactly.  But it's just ICMP and the issue is not with ICMP right.  The speedtest.net results show that.

Getting really unreliable results in Wellington today - particularly right now - international sites hardly load and a number of National sites are unreliable..

Just tried to log a support claim, but because I had just put in an order to save $10 a month to reduce my FS/FS connection to FS/128 and I was heading overseas in 6 days - they would not open a support ticket.

Ok, do understand.

However, when told him I was trying to do an HTTP download to update my avast manually, he launched into Rapidshare and how a free account will always be slow. I corrected the person how it was not a peer to peer, file sharing download but a standard HTTP that was coming down at 11kb/sec

He got me to do a tracert to avast and then blamed avast for being conjested.

*shakes head*
