| 1448109 | 2018-04-04 23:11:00 | I am on the Orcon fibre 100/20 plan. In the past, speed tests have come in at about 94/21 or thereabouts, and my PC is connected by ethernet cable. Just recently I have noticed that I am getting only about 21Mbps in each direction and wonder what has caused this drop in performance. Where do I start looking? I have tried rebooting modem/router and computer, but it remains the same. | Richard (739) | ||

| 1448112 | 2018-04-10 00:12:00 | It seems my problem is with my Netgear Nighthawk R7000 router. Using only the NF4V modem supplied by Orcon, I get 95Mbps down and 27 Mbps up, which is in line with the 100/20 plan. When the router is added to the chain speed falls to 22/24. Googling the problem indicates that this is a firmware issue with the Nighthawk and seems well known. Is anyone else having the same problem or has anyone found a cuire? | Richard (739) | ||
| 1448113 | 2018-04-10 07:18:00 | Why do you need the nighthawk anyway if the NF4V works? | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1448114 | 2018-04-10 22:04:00 | Why do you need the nighthawk anyway if the NF4V works? Because the wifi signal from the NF4V is pathetic. The Nighthawk floods the house with a usable strength signal. |

| 1448115 | 2018-04-13 07:14:00 | I (today) just tried a PowerLine connection for the first time. It was almost a firced choice after getting Fibre installed, and loosing the nearby phone jack as my internet connection. Anyway, Prior to all this, on VDSL I was getting DL 81.5Mbps, UL 35Mbps. On Fibre, via the WiFi it was poor, but I didn't do tests. On fibre, but via a budget 25m Cat 5 cable I was getting a similar DL speed, but UL dropped to about 25. Now ith Fibre and the Powerline I'm getting 94 down, and 21 up (not entirely accurate, as a couple of Torrents are going ATM). When I tested the speeds earlier without the torrents the UL was still under 30, so actually had best UL speeds with VDSL |

| 1448116 | 2018-04-14 06:58:00 | The fibre upload is capped at 20 in a lot of plans, VDSL just gets whatever it gets. Most people don't need the upload speed anyway. |
