| 1352797 | 2013-09-05 06:35:00 | Hi all, I had Chorus in today upgrading us to Ultra VDSL. Poor Man was here for hours on end. (the joys of an older home apparently) I wasn't at home when this was done so I didn't get a chance to grill him about it all. I used Telecom Chat to find out how long it will be before I notice any difference. They said 10 Days:eek: and after that it will be a constant speed. Can someone explain (in laymans terms) why it will fluctuate for 10 days and then settle to a constant speed. Is Telecom trying to throttle my broadband or something? Cheers Katy:banana |

You should notice a big improvement in the first few hours but you may not get maximum speed until the 10 days is up. After the 10-day period, DLM still runs but only makes profile changes once a week or so. It's not a scam by Telecom, it's just that VDSL greatly pushes the limits of copper wiring compared to ADSL - and remember - it was only designed originally to carry very low bandwidth voice! |
