1198255 2011-04-29 01:40:00 Is it just me or are others experiencing this too? I live in Hamilton and no matter where I am or whose computer I use I only seem to get max 2mbps download, but only an average of .81mbps!!! This is really :xmouth: me off as a month ago I was averaging 6mbps and peaking at 13mbps. According to the latest net index we haven't been doing too well all month (www.netindex.com I've been watching it drop for 2 weeks now). I'm with Maxnet. Anyone have any comments? We're supposed to be getting fastest speed available. dpDesignz (15919)
1198256 2011-04-29 01:57:00 I just found out I'm also supposed to have a VDSL2 connection according to telecom dpDesignz (15919)

Here it is #7000

VDSL needs compatible router, however you should be able to get 30mb down and like 12Mb up

Sorry don't get that part?

Sweet. I'm looking through telecoms wholesale site at the moment. Rather interesting. Routers aren't cheap though (or easy to find). Then you need the splitters etc etc... Yea, money. Though apparently a company called snap do it (www.snap.net.nz) Looks decent

1198261 2011-04-29 02:45:00 That was my 7000 post!!...all quality of course...LOL

edit - you might just want to confirm with your provider that you have VDSL enabled on your line!

I doubt it. The cabinet/exchange may be VDSL capable now but that doesn't mean you have that on your line.
Nor your plan.

1198264 2011-04-29 03:26:00 pctek is right. Telecom Chorus have put the equipment in your Exchange, but you ain't gonna be utilizing it. They're still pretty anal about anybody being on VDSL2 at the moment.

There's a good chance you're still on an old port at your exchange. Ring your ISP, explain whats happening, get them to lodge a request upstream with Chorus if they deem necessary.
