The Modem is a Technicolor TC4400VDF The Router is the HG695 I think when we were talking he was referring to the Technicolor all in one modem/router, because at the time we were discussing using mine, and I mentioned glad to see you're not using those all in one modem/router - thats when he made the comment. We did try my router, but all we did was change from a static to dynamic IP & obtain DNS servers, it thought about it, but then - narrrrrrr. I Also changed a couple of Switches (TP-Link gigabit) as the current were not gigabit so would have been a problem. He was good though, I asked for a call at least an hour before if possible in case I was in the middle of downloading something, which he did. missed out on the $100 becasue they got it done within the 3 day period - 2 days. BUT at least my over all monthly bill is cheaper now :)	wainuitech (129)

Over a week late and after time taken off work to meet installers who never showed - apparently "tell them to get f**ked" didn't happen so they've turned up and install done. Somehow the installer did a speed test and got 814mbps - after he leaves I do a speedtest and get 212. How odd ..	allblack (6574)

If its a week late from the appointment- call them and insist they give you the $100 www.vodafone.co.nz Their advert on the Right hand side. The Speed -- Mine was OK at first as well, but it soon developed a slowness on the download, the speed could drop as low as 10Mbps, then come back up to 40-100Mbps, then later come back to max out at around 900Mbps. What you need to do is do speedtests at various times, get a record, Once I had done this - had 6 results, I called back, advised of the slow speed, times of day,they checked out the line and said the logs were showing there was a fault, and the down was timing out, up and down. It took them a week, but finally sorted the speed problem. The Guy from Downer who tested here, said everything was fine between the modem/router to the Pole, so there was a fault someplace between my connection and the main feed. Now its been steady, slowest speed test I got since they sorted it was just over 600Mbps. Just did a speed test now @ 2.30 Saturday 7984	wainuitech (129)
