Despite VDSL offerings being hard to find Chorus has changed out most of their cabinets and exchanges to VDSL cards some time ago, not sure why more ISPs don't offer it as a service given the wide availability. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1327129 | 2013-02-10 03:48:00 | I think it's something like 80% of the country can get VDSL2? The main dis-incentive is people expect less over-subscription from VDSL2, you *expect* to get the higher speeds more consistently, which means potentially thinner margins on data for ISPs. I'm a huge fan of VDSL2! |

| 1327130 | 2013-02-11 01:54:00 | I did not see the response that Alex B gave me lol. I was researching around and if I remember rightly the telecom guy who came round said we needed a master splitter. Would that be the problem? Our old telecom supplied tg585v2 did the same thing. we are seriously over this issue. first telecom said our modem was not reconised and say they fixed it. then they bring a guy out and say we now need a master splitter. we have half of our usual speed on g.dmt and still adsl2+ and mixed mode dont work |

| 1327131 | 2013-02-11 01:57:00 | Master Splitter shouldn't be required, however if you have spares, run an "isolation test" so you have JUST the router plugged in to a single port, with a single (brand new) filter. See how that goes. BTW - Make sure you're paying the "Wiring and maintenance" fees for now, it's a couple of bucks a month, just-in-case.... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1327132 | 2013-02-11 01:59:00 | oh and my router is a Linksys x2000 ADSL2+ 300Mbps dual band modem+router. the firmware is the latesft 2.0.03 after they pulled the 2.0.04 from the site after it was bugged | MisfitSkittles (16862) | ||
| 1327133 | 2013-02-11 02:00:00 | how would i run this isolation test? | MisfitSkittles (16862) | ||
| 1327134 | 2013-02-11 02:23:00 | Actually depending what cables you have just unplug all your phones and filters and plug the modem directly into the phone line without a filter. If you don't have a modem cable with a BT plug on the end you can usually get away with borrowing one off a phone, If that fixes your issues it's likely either a faulty filter(s) or one of your phones. Otherwise just use a single filter for the modem only with everything else unplugged and try different ones to see what happens. Don't forget anything else that plugs into the phone line like alarms or sky etc. The ADSL modem doesn't need a filter to function, the filter only seperates out the 0-4k phone frequencies to prevent noise on the phone line and also to a lesser extent prevents the phones interfering with the modem which can't happen if you unplug them. |

| 1327135 | 2013-02-11 02:24:00 | will do that, thanks for your suggestions. | MisfitSkittles (16862) | ||
| 1327136 | 2013-02-11 02:27:00 | also are you saying i can use the modem+router without a splitter? but the phone can still have one? | MisfitSkittles (16862) | ||
