1122346 2010-07-25 22:36:00 Hi all Papamoa broadband users.

I email xtra (Telecom) for, I don't know, umpteenth time about slow broadband.

Normally they say they can do nothing, stock answer.

Reviewing their website, it says we are due to get adsl+2 in December.

However some bright spark, at Telecom, emails back and says we now have adsl+2 but I have the wrong modem.

I have a Thompson speedtouch st53 v6, which I'm assured is adsl+2 compliant.

Can anyone, OUT THERE, confirm or denigh this, please?

Thanks,

Ian

Thanks for the link.

That's why I said I'm assured is adsl+2 compliant. It's was the ignorant person, at Telecom, that said it wasn't.

I'm interested in getting other Papamoa users speed tests, to see if it's true that Telecom has locked our speeds at about 5300 KB's.

I'm not really too sure where you got this from?

What BB plan are you currently on?

Where exactly in Papamoa are you?

I'm not entirely sure if there is an exchange in Papamoa, but the closest one I am to is on 11th Ave, I live on 4th Ave so I am currently getting very fast broadband speeds. If you are far from the exchange, you will get slower speeds.

Tauranga and Papamoa DO NOT have adsl2. I'm sorry to burst your bubble but they dont (with telecom atleast) and even orcon who DO have adsl2 it's only available in tauranga central to like gate pa.


hope this helps

Hi and thanks for your comments.

Yes there is an exchange, located about half way down Hartford Ave.

1122353 2010-07-26 02:09:00 You can check your address, but I'm just saying if the city doesn't have it I don't think Papamoa will. It's way off. GreacherTech (15784)
1122354 2010-07-26 02:17:00 It's possible.

It's also worth noting, I did a quick search, and part of Papamoa is being upgraded in Sept -> Dec from my quick scan ...
