1198471 2011-04-29 22:09:00 Hi!
Does anyone have any idea when ADSL2+ (or naked broadband) is expected to be available in South Waikato area.
Been hoping to move from wired broadband and landline phone for quite a while now but can only get long term forecasts from both Telecom and Vodafone.
Just thought someone here may be able to help please?

1198472 2011-04-29 23:06:00 Can tell you exactly when it's going to be available:
www.telecomwholesale.co.nz

Throw your address in there :)

1198473 2011-04-30 00:29:00 Thanks for that link Chill,

Seems that my area (Papanui Street,Tokoroa) already has ADSL at cabinets but still not actually usable to me at least?

Not 100% sure on how to use this map to get detailed eta of usability for my address unfortunately.
Thanks again:)

1198474 2011-04-30 00:33:00 So have you got an ADSL2+ modem? Snorkbox (15764)
1198475 2011-04-30 00:41:00 No not any point in that just yet when according to both Telecom and Vodafone, adsl2+ is not yet available at my address and they can't give ETA of it coming.
When it's available I will probably leave telecom join Vodafone and go to a naked wireless plan anyway (Router is free with that)

1198476 2011-04-30 00:56:00 So which end of Papanui St are you at? I'm in Kent St off Fergusson and have adsl2+ with Telecom.

1198478 2011-04-30 01:05:00 Well it looks to me that ADSL2+ is, in fact, available at your address. As to Vodaphone or naked broadband I have no idea as I have not researched this option.

What sort of modem do you currently have?

1198479 2011-04-30 02:20:00 D-Link 505G
What is a good ADSL2+ modem in case I need to purchase one myself?
Also for wireless setup are USB or internal wireless cards better, I have 4 PC's:(
Perhaps I need to contact Vodafone by phone again?

1198480 2011-04-30 21:47:00 Do you mean the 504G? As they're only ADSL1, and flaky little suckers ...

I'd go for: pbtech.co.nz

The ones that most ISP's supply are pretty much cheap crap and never do as well as one that you purchase yourself.
