| 1407889 | 2015-09-04 00:20:00 | Got a client who supposedly is well within a VDSL coverage area, literally 400 - 500m from the cabinet and the Chorus and broadband availability maps all say they're well within the area, but Spark are saying it's not available. They have had a manual check done, and from what I understand from looking at the info, it would seem like it was available, but am just wondering if someone who knows what this actually means could check it for me. Thanks!

| 1407890 | 2015-09-04 00:59:00 | Hmm, that is hard to interpret and I do know most of the abbreviations on it (but not all) They are certainly within range in terms of loss and distance, perhaps it's more to do with what is equipped in the cabinet. Not all cabinets are VDSL capable and not all that are capable are fully equipped for it. If all the VDSL ports are in use that could be the issue. My sister and her partner had what appeared to be the same problem at their new house but in their case it turned out the cabinet was passive (no equipment just cables) and they actually feed direct from the exchange a couple of km's away. The coverage map tells them they can get VDSL but it's just wrong. Meanwhile because it let's him her partner is repeatadly requesting VDSL from the website hoping they'll upgrade something. |

| 1407891 | 2015-09-04 02:11:00 | Thanks Dugi, that was basically what I got from it too. I'm waiting to hear back from them about what Spark say after they've checked that info. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1407892 | 2015-09-04 06:20:00 | does VDSL run from a cabinet? when i looked at getting it, it was only from the exchange. |

| 1407893 | 2015-09-04 06:45:00 | The speed looks like you would only get ADSL2 speeds except you'd have higher uploads. Not sure if VDSL would be worth just a boost in uploading. I'm assuming they just need to add more equipment to allow more users. Cheers, KK |

| 1407894 | 2015-09-04 11:49:00 | Most cabinets are VDSL capable now. They have switched to only installing VDSL cards when adding new ones but are not upgrading all the older ADSL2+ cards unless there is enough demand. There is not that much of the older ADSL gear left really. Also VDSL tends to be faster than ADSL even if the speed it attains is within ADSL ranges. At home I went from 16Mbps sync speed to 24Mbps. |

| 1407896 | 2015-09-06 06:46:00 | trust me to be in a town where vdsl is exchange only and only goes 800m. then they advertise the entire area can get it and take 3 weeks to tell its impossible for you to get and they knew it all along. ******s! |

| 1407897 | 2015-09-06 10:27:00 | VDSL goes just as far as previous versions, it's just that you need to be within 900M to get any advantage from it otherwise it's no faster than ADSL2+ It achieves higher speeds by using a wider range of frequencies and the higher ones don't travel very far. No idea who Ikanos are, Chorus use Alcatel ISAMs in their network. What's installed in the cabinets is identical in function to the exchanges, it's just smaller and can cater to less customers. The line cards that are installed in the cabinet or exchange are the same. It's also entirely possible to fit an exchange subrack into one of the larger cabinets. Most of the cabinets were installed before VDSL was available and only equipped with ADSL2+ cards, then upgraded later as required. |

| 1407898 | 2015-09-06 10:31:00 | Sorry you're right, it's Ikanos line cards with VDSL2 support that are in the Alcatel-Lucent devices, pretty sure that information is available on their website somewhere even. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
