This just came up in the NZ ADSL list: http://www.telecom.co.nz/content/0,3900,204368-201502,00.html
Many of you (who work for ISPs) are probably already aware of this, but here's a quick summary:
1. Telecom moving the rate-limiting to the DSLAM and implementing new backend QoS. 2. Telecom apparently (pointed out by an NZ ADSL user) introducing a further 30ms of latency to ADSL connections (presumably due to new QoS). 3. JetStream Games realm and Remote.Office connections will now be limited to connection plan speed (due to the limiting being done at the DSLAM). Yes, this will impact the usage of the jetstreamgames.co.nz and ftp.paradise.net.nz(?) game/linux/bsd mirrors.
Note: this is just a mixture of my interpretation and info garnered from NZ ADSL. I/we could be completely wrong :)
Well, points 1 and 3 were known already, with the exception of the Remote.Office connections. What's so badly b0rk3d about DSLAM rate-limiting and the new QoS implementation that causes latency to jump like that? Anyone know? -- Juha
