Vodafone BQM's

I thought it might be useful to share live Vodafone BQMs, especially monitoring their peak time performance. This is mine via CityFibre, hope others can share theirs too:

Live BQM

This is also on City Fibre, looks like we both encounter high latency around the same time.

Okay, I'll play. Mine's in my siggie (Openreach)

Might want to ask folks to list their (appropriate) location and speed tier.

@Pheasant, good point. Mine above is connected to the Birmingham gateway 84.65.192.1, about 30 miles away, at Full Fibre 150/150.

Interesting that out of the small number of BQM's so far, Openreach is not suffering the same level of peak time congestion, so will be interesting to learn which gateways are being connected to

Location Nottingham Cityfibre 900/900

Definite network congestion issues in an evening, especially bad on Tuesdays for some reason, upload speed unaffected but download heavily impacted anything as low as 100. Use of a VPN makes network speedier.

Hate using their kit but may need to report this and you are not using our router blah blah get out excuse.

Remarkable similarity with the Minimum Latency last night between your BQM and mine (also aligns to last nights football, but that's probably a coincidence!?)

I'm guessing that as you are not that far from us (but not close enough to be on the same CityFibre infrastructure), you also connect to the Vodafone Birmingham gateway 84.65.192.1 which could explain the likeness and firmly puts the issue with Vodafone.

How to get their support to recognise this on their "flowchart", I just wouldn't know where to start though! Mind you, your minimum speed is below the guaranteed for a 900 line, so that might be a good place to start?

Same here. Openreach in Lincolnshire. Throughput plummeted to less than 5Mb/s and I had to use Proton VPN's free service to boost it.

Ummm, another very similar looking minimum latency between 8 and 10:30 last night, definitly cannot point fingers at CityFibre for yours

I wonder if your Vodafone gateway is also 84.65.192.1 being 'neighbours' in Lincolnshire?
