| 1385455 | 2014-10-01 18:50:00 | So long as you are not to far from the box VDSL is far far better than ADSL. There is no way I would go back and it is well worth the extra $10 to me anyway. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1385456 | 2014-10-01 18:52:00 | VDSL has approx 1.5 - 2 times the download and 10 times the upload speed of ADSL, depends on how you use the net how much difference that makes. If you are a heavy user or would like the upload speed it's worth it, for casual net surfing or watching youtube you won't see a difference. Games also seem to benefit from more upstream bandwidth and it's particularly good in multi-user households. I got VDSL as an interim solution while I wait for fibre to reach my street and have been happy with it's performance @ 24/10 Mbps |

| 1385457 | 2014-10-01 21:37:00 | Absolutely huge difference in my opinion! VDSL2 is leaps and bounds ahead, as dugimodo mentioned the upload specifically makes a massive difference. If it's just one 'light' user, then sure, but if there's a couple of people at your place then it's well worth the upgrade I'd say! |

| 1385459 | 2014-10-02 10:05:00 | I'm very happy with my VDSL2 connection over the old ADSL2+ Upload speed especially is much improved! |
