Dodo 'Peak times' - How Low is Expected?

I've heard about 'peak times' being problematic with Dodo, though I'm a little unsure if the speeds I'm seeing are normal or not. At peak times (such as 6-late on Friday nights) my internet speed drops to around 3-4mbps (megabit - not byte) on speedtests. At the best of times (usually early in the morning) I usually see speeds more around 14-15mbps - closer to sync speed. I moved house when I made the switch to Dodo, so I'm unsure what speeds are usually expected in this location. Am I right to assume that with a more reliable provider I would see closer to the sync speed (say 15mbps) almost 24/7, or could the problem be before Dodo's infrastructure?

Details: (up) (down)
Current Rate (Kbps): 1020 17595
Max Rate (Kbps): 1100 19100
SNR Margin (dB): 8.5 6
Line Attenuation (dB): 19 34.6

    There's no real way to know until you switch, it might be your area/exchange as well. 3-4 doesn't sound too bad, at least usable for most things, I'd suggest if you're happy with the price you're paying then stay for now… until fibre arrives in your area.

    • 375-500KB/s - it seems low when the sync speed is around 2MB/s.

  • 3-4 doesn't sound too bad

    Turnbull NET.

  • had exactly the same with Exetel— moved to Telstra's $99 deal & get full speeds 15-17mbps all day & night
    oh & Exetel wanted me to go from $69-to $108 ,1Tb plan yet i was using 1/2 of my 500gb

    • How much data is there on the $99 plan?

      • 1TB includes line rental & all calls to local, STD & mobiles also i've had 3mths free to foxtel [ all channels] & a further 2 mths having the base + sport—never thought id see the day id be with them, but very satisfied

  • I've been with some of the worst ISPs out there (currently ClubTelco which resolves to dodo's ASN and address space) but always seem to achieve my sync rate at all times. I know both my neighbors heavily stream Netflix but still no congestion issues. Others must be unlucky or can't understand why their net is slow over Wi-Fi through multiple brick walls.
