Orcon Consistent - Vodafone Congested?

Orcon Consistent - Vodafone Congested?

Orcon consistently tops the Fibre webpage download speeds in January from NZ, Australia and the USA. (We show only NZ in the attached image)

In the copper technologies of ADSL and VDSL, the most consistent ISP is Spark, although 2Degrees is almost as good but their speeds from Australia are a bit slower. Orcon, while consistently good in fibre are in the middle range for copper technologies.

Vodafone Fibre, Cable and VDSL results show a broad roll-off in performance during waking hours for live webpage download speeds from NZ. This indicates potential congestion from NZ and Australia because average webpage speeds drop during the middle of the day with the most severe drop during the evening busy hours of 8-9pm. Conversely, Vodafone is consistently best at downloading US websites.

TrueNet's first Video test results are published this month. TrueNet is reporting the download performance of two video files from YouTube. We test for start delay and buffering events, and have found no sign of any video download issues for ISPs we measure in NZ.
