I'm in Hamilton and just recently got cabinetised
3. If you are not an unbundled customer on the Orcon+ network (i.e. you are on the traditional Orcon network) then cabinetisation should have no adverse affects on your connection. Indeed, you should find that your broadband performs better (and you may notice that you are on ADSL2+). The only downside is that until we get the rules around Sub Loop Unbundling (installing our Orcon+ network equipment in the roadside cabinets) we wont be able to unbundle your connection and deliver the Orcon+ network to your door. These rules are due to be finalised early this year, and we may be connecting customers around the middle of the year from our own equipment in roadside cabinets.
According to Part 3 Orcon says I should have no adverse affects...But as you can see by my International speeds something is very wrong. Surely lack of International bandwidth can't drop your speeds by this much..can it? I was getting speeds between 13000 - 15000kb/s to Chicago now its dropped to 1205 kb/s going on my last speedtest. Could this be the way Orcon route International traffic? I'd be interested in trying an ISP like Snap or maybe even Telecom to see if I get improvement. What do you suggest?
BazNZ: Surely though a speed decrease of 10,000+kb/s is not just caused by peak time traffic and low available bandwidth is it? If it is then we have a big problem here in NZ.
