I’ve noticed my broadband speeds have reduced from the ultimate unlimited plan I’m on. Only recent change was requesting the static IP last week. Anyone else had this issue out of interest ?

Hiya,

Doesn't sound right - How are you measuring this? What's slower? What location are you in, is it National or International .. for example.

Just through Speedtest - was via 2 devices but will retest when home later tonight.
One was via the Xtreme node in Wellington and based there too.

Might pay to work through this - https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=85&topicid=239862

One odd thing I had noticed once I moved onto a static IP was the inconsistent results from 2d speedtest servers, I can't manage to get over 200Mbit from any of them, other providers servers are fine:

steven@homebox:~$ speedtest -s 5539

Speedtest by Ookla

Server: 2degrees - Auckland (id = 5539)
ISP: 2degrees Broadband
Latency: 3.16 ms (0.04 ms jitter)
Download: 151.03 Mbps (data used: 239.7 MB)
Upload: 193.27 Mbps (data used: 150.4 MB)
Packet Loss: 0.8%
Result URL: https://www.speedtest.net/result/c/7cde93a3-4a19-4935-a174-52ddeaa4d5d8

steven@homebox:~$ speedtest -s 16805

Speedtest by Ookla

Server: Nova Energy - AUCKLAND (id = 16805)
ISP: 2degrees Broadband
Latency: 2.48 ms (0.57 ms jitter)
Download: 905.61 Mbps (data used: 789.5 MB)
Upload: 507.93 Mbps (data used: 612.2 MB)
Packet Loss: Not available.
Result URL: https://www.speedtest.net/result/c/817eb6ce-895e-42e9-bd3a-76bdfe09470d

I've also found a couple of weird and wonderful issues getting me thrown towards CDNs no where near me, for example, based in Auckland, but I get thrown at Wellington CDNs. Unsure what the cause of this is, but does effect speed a wee bit.

I'm seeing some strange results today also - maybe there's a fault somewhere and traffic is being routed on a sub-optimal path.
