I will wait for other comments but at the moment it looks to be in the "If it looks to be to good to be true" cayagory.

1460086 2019-04-22 08:42:00 Snake oil for sure, just a wifi repeater with some BS thrown in by the look of it. It claims several times to bypass ISP throttling, not possible no matter what device you use. Any speed limit set by the ISP happens regardless of what device you hang off the end. You can mask the type of data with VPNs etc but you can't mask the amount of it or the speed of it.
Some ISPs use traffic shaping so in some specific cases you can get more speed by hiding the type of data, maybe that's what they are on about.

"without getting too technical" - reads to me like an excuse to not offer an explanation for something that can't possibly work.

1460087 2019-04-22 16:49:00 Its a scam NZ isps dont throttle traffic. Wifi speed depends on the connection to the ROUTER not the conection to the ISP. apsattv (7406)

If you're worried about throttling, use a VPN.
If it's signal, move the router.

I wonder, my ADSL speed has dropped as I decided not to get fibre after being asked to do so by Spark, but I want a landline as they were the only communication that worked after the earthquakes for a few days, cell phones all overloaded and text's very slow, we still get that sometimes text's sent on one days don't arrive to the next day or never.

I expected my ADSL to speed up as everyone else moved to fibre but my ADSL has slowed down.
