General network congestion, problems with routing \/ peering and even issues with Domain Name Servers (DNS) can impact connectivity performance.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement first published today on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/03\/01\/vodafone_video_streaming_slowness_line_cards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Register<\/a>, Vodafone has now officially blamed the sporadic problem on &#8220;<em>some line cards<\/em>&#8221; and stated that the issue only affects a &#8220;<em>small number of customers<\/em>&#8221; (note: they have a total fixed broadband customer base of 525,000+).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Vodafone Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are in the process of upgrading our network configuration and discovered a technical issue with some line cards which means a small number of customers may experience slower speeds when accessing certain sites. This has nothing to do with throttling or traffic management, which we do not use on our broadband service.<\/p>\n<p>We are working hard to fix the issue in order to give any customer affected a great online experience. We\u2019re sorry for any inconvenience caused.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On a <strong>Fibre-to-the-Cabinet<\/strong> (<a class=\"shortlink shortlink-120 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"fttc\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/broadband_cable.php\">FTTC<\/a>) service the line cards generally sit inside one of <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-46 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"openreach\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.openreach.co.uk\">Openreach<\/a>&#8217;s green street &#8220;<em>fibre broadband<\/em>&#8221; cabinets (DSLAMS), although the cards themselves shouldn&#8217;t be slow unless there&#8217;s a wider issue at work (problems with backhaul capacity or configuration may be a possibility but we&#8217;d need to see more detail).<\/p>\n<p>In any case it&#8217;s good to know that Vodafone are aware of the problem and working on a fix, even if they&#8217;ve been unable to offer any solid ETA for when the problem might be resolved. In the meantime it\u2019s worth noting that Vodafone are also one of the cheapest of the big ISPs for FTTC broadband services.<\/p>\n<p>We note that Vodafone&#8217;s two FTTC packages &#8211; <strong>Superfast 1<\/strong> (Average speed of 35Mbps) and <strong>Superfast 2<\/strong> (Average speed of 63Mbps) &#8211; also offer an &#8220;<em>Ultimate Speed Guarantee<\/em>&#8221; feature, which promises customers a guaranteed minimum download speed (i.e. &#8220;<em>sync speeds<\/em>&#8221; to the router, not over <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-124 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wifi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"wifi\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/broadband_wireless.php\">wifi<\/a> etc.) of 25Mbps (Superfast 1) and 55Mbps (Superfast 2).<\/p>\n<p>In the event that Vodafone fails to achieve the stated minimum speeds then the ISP says customers could be given a 15% discount (once per month) until the issue is fixed, although this sort of guarantee can become tricky when only specific services are being affected by performance issues that are hard to pin down. The advertising watchdog highlighted a similar problem last year (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/09\/vodafones-uk-home-broadband-speed-guarantee-ruled-misleading.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 4:20pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of Vodafone&#8217;s admin agents for their community forum has just posted a useful update on the problem.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Phil, Vodafone Forum Administrator, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Vodafone are continuing to invest heavily in their Broadband network &#8211; part of this investment is new hardware.
