It depends. In certain parts of the country Vodafone have their own equipment installed at the local exchange. In others, they buy capacity off Telecom Wholesale. |

| 818791 | 2009-10-13 01:56:00 | Battleneter2, are you ON BigTime yourself? It's also kind of different comparing ADSL with Cable, especially in differing areas. The fact that Cable is not available in your area in Chch must mean you're not in a highly suburban area, yes? So naturally being a way from the exchange you're not going to get the best in performance. Is your line actually sync'ing with the exchange at ADSL2+, or is it just an ADSL exchange? It just sounds a bit like apples vs oranges... Yea the OP is on cable and looking at going to DSL, add to that its the worst kind of plan performance wise so that's exactly my point (be it good for leeching). So I am saying it is way diff lol. And no I am not on Big Time just unshaped crappy DSL2, also live in Burwood about 1.8K's from the DSL2 enabled exchange. You do realise only around 45% of CHCH homes can get cable?. Here is a link to the Map. www.telstraclear.co.nz Make your own mind up as to how happy Big Time customers are but here is a link to another forum, I think we can at least agree its VERY inconsistent. www.gpforums.co.nz As for Speedtest.net , its results are near worthless, its only single source and if ANY of the hopes are slow the result will be out which it often is. But hey it looks pretty and people seem to actually believe it lol. |

| 818792 | 2009-10-13 07:09:00 | The long and short of it is you're simply spreading FUD, and not able to speak first-hand ;) I'm actually on Big Time now myself, as of yesterday. Anyway, I'd be interested to know specifically *what* plan you are on. I'm around 1.7KM from our local exchange, and it's been interesting to see the difference between my previous Orcon Purple+ vs Telecom Big Time. It's also worth mentioning I run a *very* controlled environment in terms of the devices connected, having run an identical test with concurrent connections only 500m from the same Exchange at my work, Orcons Silver+ and Telecom Adventure. In a nutshell, there's a ton of crappy modems out there providing unreliable connections (SO many of varying degrees of quality, it's not funny), filters play a large part, and I'm willing to bet that the majority of people who complain have very little idea about *why* they're complaining, the cause of their symptoms, what can be done about it from their end as well as the Telco's end. Being 2KM physically from the exchange is near the *far* end of the recommended distance for ADSL, see here: en.wikipedia.org ersus_distance Bearing in mind that just because you're 250m from the exchange, as my parents place, is does not mean that you're going to get 24m/bit. They in fact sync around 16m/bit but actually attain a max of 14. I'm around 1.5-1.7KM away, yet sync around 4 to 4.5m/bit. Just thought I'd throw that out there ;) |
