| 1422237 | 2016-06-22 05:48:00 | Just changed from ADSL2+ to VDSL ultra fast and am very happy with the results so far. Below is latest speed test result. Tested on IPad via wi-fi. Am getting 39.70 Mbps d/load and 11 up on desktop PC. Via Ethernet. I used to get 13 down and 0.879 up previously. 7274 LL |

A Gee you're so modern. New sky thingy...Ipad, and now VDSL. Here in my house we still have ADSL, old Sky thingy and no tablets. And I was a tech once.....lol.... Even worse, shock, horror - I swapped GPUs with son. he thought I'd gone mad. |

| 1422241 | 2016-06-22 08:52:00 | Moi? Modern, not really, just trying to keep up with things, iPad, saved for long time to buy it, VDSL not much difference in price to what I was on before, Son at home :( due to unfortunate circumstances, me on single pension. You my friend are a Tech and will always be. Me, I'm just a wannabe who likes to help older people in their technology confusion! LOL! LL |

To be a tech you have to be A)Working as one - whether that involves charging or not B)working with the new tech I don't anymore, well apart from a bit of free stuff, and not much of that with anything new To be a good tech too, you have to keep up with the new stuff, whether that is the O/s, the hardware or whatever. I haven't. Therefore I am obsolete. And not a tech anymore. |

| 1422244 | 2016-06-22 21:40:00 | Yeah VDSL is great, worth the $10 extra they charge. I almost cancelled my fibre I'd signed up for because my VDSL worked so well. I was getting close to 50/10 so it was faster than the cheap fibre plans. In the end though the 100/20 fibre plan for the same price won me over. I sometimes call myself a tech :) but not a computer one. |

| 1422245 | 2016-06-22 22:18:00 | Very nice! Faster speeds than I've been getting on VDSL2. Still, when I moved in to my current place ~5 years ago we were getting around 1mbps, then got cabinetized and then got VDSL2, so I'm not complaining. New place I move in to this weekend has UFB though, can't wait!! :D |

| 1422246 | 2016-06-22 23:20:00 | I know some people have had some horrible experiences with broadband but mine has always trended to improving since I bought my House in 1999 - well except for the first couple of years. Originally at 3.5Kms from the exchange I got around 3-3.5 Mbps but I was one of only 3 houses on my block next to some vacant sections and as those sections filled up my speed kept dropping until it bottomed out around 2Mbps Next came a new cabinet - 8Mbps Then a new Modem - 16Mbps (realised my old modem router was limiting me to ADSL speeds) Then VDSL - 30-35 Mbps Then they changed the VDSL profile - 40-50Mbps Then Fibre - 100 Mbps My VDSL kept getting faster for some reason - reaching over 50 Mbps just before switching to fibre - my theory is people moving to fibre was improving the copper for those still on it which makes sense. |
