6 months after ordering, finally UFB was finished off today. Not as fast as the DMR I left behind 14 months ago, but a hell of a lot more reasonably priced (also tested via wireless, not ethernet coz I'm being lazy).
14 months of being on a service with a 1Mbps upload was excruciating after 100/100. |

Fuckit, chorus has changed their boradband map, I can't find out when I'll be upgraded to fiber.
wait - found it: https://www.chorus.co.nz/broadband-o.../broadband-map Last edited by Jodi : 11th March 2016 at 09:16. |

100/100 here with 200/100 available (fibre). what would be interesting would be if we all tried to post our history of internet connections :-)

When and how did VDSL jump in performance? |

Upgrade of the equipment in your local cabinet?
I seem to recall reading something in the papers about some vdsl upgrade being rolled out. Found it. http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/indu...nology-upgrade

That's brilliant. Would never have thought I'd get 92 down over copper.

Im on 50Mb down/15Mb up fiber in Calgary for $60 a month. How are New Zealand Datacaps vs rest of the world. Over here I get 600 gigs a month included in my package.

Datacaps start at 80GB or unlimited for ~$10 more, depending on your ISP.
eg. Orcon: 100GB for $80, 200GB for $90, unlimited $95

Looks like Chorus have moved up my Fibre rollout from July 2017 to February 2017, they've changed the map a little bit too:

Yay, mine has been moved to Jun 2018.
Basically 6 months before the government mandated deadline. fuckers. |

Mine too has moved to June 2018. Fuckers.
My place is a piece of shit anyway. Need to get it improved enough to sell then get the fuck out of there.

Upload is around 3-4Mbps and ping is around 60ms.

I wired the house for Cat5e 14 years ago when we moved in so main desktop & media box etc. are all cabled on gigabit Ethernet. WiFi seems ok on it (but obviously not 200Mbps). The DECT phones are good - although seriously considering ditching them altogether. |

Is it just me, or is this a pretty shit VDSL sync rate.

I get that on plain ole ADSL.
Currently battling with horrible line noise; have rewired my house completely (it was a spiderweb of shitty wiring beforehand). Essentially I did what this guy recommends: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/sbiddle/8357 Solved the problem temporarily. Went from 4-6dB SNR and frequent disconnections to 8-9, then all of a sudden lost connection for a few days. Chorus came out and diagnosed some shitty connections external to the house and re-did them, got me back online, but have suffered disconnections since. Strangely, I updated windows last night and haven't been d/c'd once. Although still only getting a 5.0db SNR margin. I reckon the process of laying fibre in my street is fucking with my copper. But i'll suffer the inconvenience if it means fibre is coming in a few months. TLDR - I have unstable net, and can't wait for fibre. |

Doesn't scream VDSL ready to me with that SNR and attenuation. I've asked the ISP for the Chorus pre qual, as I'm sure they'd decline the install if it appeared too crap to them. Approx 700m from closest cabinet but that attenuation suggests well over 1000m

Had a similar experience getting VDSL installed @ mums place, was even worse that those stat's Bob. Turned out that she was 'borderline' on getting VDSL (around 800m of copper), cutting back to adsl2+ got better speeds & reliability. Fibre now being rolled past her driveway, so next step is an upgrade to UFB.

100/20 here, via Paradise/TelstraClear/Saturn/Vodafone cable. "Unlimited" internet, certainly pretty convenient.

I upgraded from ADSL to VDSL even though I was 100% borderline.
Went from 14/0.8 to 24/2.4 Not bad. (Fiber due June 2018, ugh) |

[edit] maybe 12db attenuation, checking now. [edit edit] colleague advises me spark won't look at VDSL for lines with attentuation over 10.8. Last edited by sidbo : 9th August 2016 at 15:06. |

Chorus is reporting LA of 12db, so from there to 23db would probably be internal wiring.
I'll try and find the main phone jack and go without a filter/splitter, but if that's no better I'll be back to ADSL.
