1333685 2013-03-22 02:53:00 Anyone here on VDSL from their home? If you are, a quick report would be good - ISP, setup/running costs, speeds, reliability etc.

TIA

1333686 2013-03-22 03:44:00 2talk, cheap setup, great speeds compared with ADSL2+. I'm on the 300GB plan. Was getting 9 down, 1 up with ADSL2+. Now I get 25 down and 10 up with VDSL2, for just a couple of bucks more per month.
Been with HD and 2talk at home, as well as we use Telstra VDSL2 at the office here... Would *definitely* recommend 2talk

Their phone support is pretty slack, but when you *do* get through to them you get *real* tech people.

Grab yourself a Draytek DV2750 for a good, reliable router and you'll be sweet.

1333687 2013-03-22 05:18:00 Thanks for that. I would have expected the download speed to be higher - or have I got that wrong? You need a VDSL splitter as well as a VDSL router - right? Tony (4941)
1333688 2013-03-22 13:54:00 Speeds generally are but I'm so far from the Cabinet... If you're getting over 10mbps normally you're more likely to be getting significantly better VDSL2 speeds.

Nope, if you're on Naked VDSL2 then no filter needed.

However, yes, you'll need a specific VDSL2 router.
