Eighteen!

Last night our ADSL connection dropped from 1.32am - 3.32am. Kinda odd as it's normally rock solid (albeit slow as hell).

Partner noticed that latency was 18ms (normally first thing in the morning it's around 22ms and starting to rise). Did a bit of digging around, RIM was still capped at 3mb.

Approximately 9.52am this morning, the link dropped again and returned at 9.53am, IN ALL IT'S FULL 8MB GLORY. See! See!



My partner then grabbed a file to see what the transfer rate was like:



Now *that's* more like it!

Could this possibly have been the backhaul cable upgrade in the wee small hours, followed by the uncapping software fix (also touted) this morning?

I really want to believe our congestion issues are over. I really do. But two things concern me:

Telstra delivered.
Telstra delivered within the promised timeframe.

A part of me is waiting for Telstra to cap us again with a "PSYCHE!" in our direction. I really hope that doesn't happen.

Maybe we'll now get the service we're paying for. Time will tell I guess.

For the moment, I will make the most of it.

It's 6pm. Latency is a consistent 18ms :)
