676424 2008-06-08 00:50:00 I live in..

Crown Hill, Which is IN Milford (North Shore), Auckland

Based on a zoom in of the adsl2+ coverage map provided by ORCON
www.orcon.net.nz
I don't seem to be covered by adsl 2 yet.

My question is can you please tell me..

1. Which exchange I am likely to be on?
2. If TELECOM is likely to have upgraded my exchange to ADSL2+ yet & just orcon hasn't done it yet (or if even telecom hasn't upgraded)
3. IF my exchange is likely to be on Adsl2+ (via telecom), is it possible to check this via the modem adsl linespeed? or will that still be limited to 8mbits?

THANKS :banana

676425 2008-06-08 01:18:00 few things i found out myself.

Based on that map of orcon coverage & other research I think im on the Forrest Hill Exchange

Also I read from the rollout plans that forrest hill exchange woulda been upgraded last year so I should already be on adsl2+ platforms

So I guess the question is. If my modem is syncing at 4.5mbits...

Is this the best i'll ever get

676426 2008-06-08 01:51:00 Probabaly it's the best you'll get, unless they move the exchange closer to your house.

If you can't even get maximum ADSL speed, you're not going to get any increase if they switch you to ADSL2+

My router tells me I'm in ADSL2+ mode, but I still only get connected at 3.4Mbit

676427 2008-06-08 02:03:00 Don’t forget your router maybe telling you that you’re on the ADSL2+ mode, but you won’t get the ADSL2 speeds, in till telecom switches on the ADSL2 speeds.

No one knows when that will be.
