They are likely told to say told "up to 100M" in preperation for VDSL offerings, so it's kinda correct that could could theoretically achieve that under Ideal conditions at some future date... They would be better saying something like "typically between 8-24M with but could be as low as 2M and theoretically as high as 100M" can't see them doing that though. |

| 1238275 | 2011-10-18 20:55:00 | I wouldn't say in prep for the VDSL2 offerings personally, AFAIK Telecom has been rating it as "up to 80mbps". 100mbps is the number being thrown around by the FTTH rollout. Definitely a confused sales rep though ;) |

Wai, you got that right, our cable has been diabolical for the last few days, similar to dial-up speed. Could be that stupid WRC thingy. Lurking. Ps. that's using IE8, Chrome and FF7.01, the latter is the worst. lurks. |

| 1238277 | 2011-10-18 22:21:00 | Agree with that - last night, on cable, couldn't get any USA sites. BBC was ok and nz. | Peter H (220) | ||
| 1238278 | 2011-10-18 23:58:00 | How fast will my broadband be and he the rep says "up to 100mbps" depending on your geographical area. Sounds correct to me. The term "broadband" does not exclusively mean ADSL, in fact it does not specifically apply to any connection type in particular. "Any connection to the customer of 256 kbit/s or greater is more concisely considered broadband Internet access" |
