| 1349440 | 2013-07-20 05:22:00 | $75 I get 100GB of data on 30Mbps speed. 2yr free modem router, yep, free UFB install by govt ... They doubled our data recently for free. | Nomad (952) | ||

| 1349442 | 2013-07-20 07:31:00 | Who with? Snap Fiber. Prev 50GB for $75 now 100GB. I think their 100GB plans got updated to 150GB. |

| 1349443 | 2013-07-20 12:53:00 | I know your probably not in dunedin but can you use speedtest.net and give me your up and down speeds? Thanks | osbornezo (16903) | ||
| 1349444 | 2013-07-20 15:20:00 | You're kinda going about this all the wrong way... Speeds will be limited by a few things: 1) Connection type -- ADSL vs VDSL2 vs Fibre 2) Congestion between your house and your ISP, such as at your local Exchange 3) Oversubscription by your ISP of their bandwidth, in particular international So once you've chosen your connection type, if you can get VDSL2 or UFB Fibre, then you need to find out what ISP's offer that service. Then find out how good they are in general, and then IF you run in to speed issues after you've signed up with them,where others on the same ISP don't have the speed issues you do, then look at local congestion. |

How do you find out where your local exchange is? And with VDSL2 do they have to roll out new cables? Or is it best just going with full fibre for the speed? |

AFAIK VDSL is using the same copper wire but a master socket is wired up so you can only use the modem at one spot. Some ISPs also only allow some customers to get it if the line tests are sound. Well with Fiber, you have the option to get 100Mbps ... so if you are looking for speed ..... Fiber you get a new line into the house. Fiber is also a lot more consistent for long distances from the exchange ..... |

If you can get fibre at your location, that will be your best option for speed. If you can't, VDSL2 is a good alternative (though relies on your being closer to the cabinet/exchange for high speed). |

| 1349448 | 2013-07-21 06:58:00 | Moving house in a weeks time and swapping to Snap fibre probably end September just waiting for our present plan to run out | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1349449 | 2013-07-21 12:13:00 | I will go for fibre i'd say. I wouldnt mind some people posting their fibre up and down speeds to give me an idea on how much better it is | osbornezo (16903) | ||
