coffeebaron: Indeed, I may even flick his name in the draw an extra time :) Good on you Fraser ;) I was almost confused for a minute, I didn't think you could still get Jetstream Starter. contentsofsignaturemaysettleduringshipping

I'll chuck in an entry for my sister in law and her family in Hamilton, they have terrrrrrrrrrrible line stats (2-3mb from memory) and I told them to get a master splitter installed ages ago.

Wish I had seen this earlier! At work so don't know all the info of the top of my head. Only info i remember is downstream sits at roughly 12730 kbps I also have awesome access under my house for the install & would condition that I get to join you in working on the install :) Would have done it on my own but have a baby on the way... does that get another entry ?

Thanks so much Fraser! I'm not going to get the option of VDSL here, or UFB for a few years, so it will be good to squeeze the best I can out of what i'm stuck with..

so it turns out my wiring wasn't too bad, but I still got an extra 15KB/sec to 20KB/sec on the download speed and my 'maximum attainable line rate' is constantly 500kbps higher than it was before, at 9560kbps. That max rate is still under the 10mbps that I supposedly should get according to the chorus maps, and the actual connection rate of 7456Mbps quite a bit lower, so now that I have all my internal wiring sorted I could reasonably request a check done on the external wiring. the greatest news is that I also have an extra 11KB/sec on the upload now - it went from a max of 95kb/sec up to 106kb/sec. That will make a huge difference when working on documents, uploading photos or doing across the internet backups. jitter and latency have also improved, so that will be good when I finally get around to VoIP at home. thanks for the splitter install fraser, and thanks also for attending to my extra wiring requests while you were here!
