| 1156618 | 2010-11-26 01:35:00 | I was informed by my ISP (Orcon) that my exchange is due for upgrade to ADSL2+ June next year :D I figured it would be about 5 years, considering the size of this town. Fear not all those in small towns - things may be happening a lot faster than we imagined :) |

According to that map my house is in the VDSL2 area but what does that really mean!? A really expensive service offered only by Telecom wholesale? |

| 1156622 | 2010-11-26 10:48:00 | It means that when it's finally available next year, you'll be able to get VDSL2 from Telecom for pricing that is still relatively competitive with todays ADSL2+ packages (Unofficially I've heard it's going to be $10-20-ish a month more) for full-line-speed, unlike those from TelstraClear of $399: www.telstraclear.co.nz |

| 1156623 | 2010-11-26 11:38:00 | Suppose its all kinda pointless if we're all still going over our caps, it'll just mean we can get there faster :) | WarNox (8772) | ||
| 1156624 | 2010-11-26 22:38:00 | Yeah hopefully the Pacific Fibre project will do something about that. Time will tell... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

| 1156626 | 2010-11-26 23:02:00 | Does anyone of you know what the plan is for rural schools? Telecom/Vodafone have put in a bid to do fibre to rural schools + fixed cellular to the communities nearby www.nzherald.co.nz It's obviously still a bid at this stage - I don't think anything has been signed yet. |
