Hey team GZ,

Just moved into a new office in Newton.  Voyager tell me that it'll take a few weeks to do a UFB install, so offered an ASDL connection in the interim.  Not sure why not VDSL, but there it is.

However, speeds are running at >5 download, >1 upload.  I feel this is a bit rough, even for ADSL, but before I get my whiny pants on, I thought I'd check whether this is par for the course for ADSL...?

Your assistance is much appreciated!

M

Jase2985: you cant get VDSL as its not a VDSL area i would say you are also exchange connected and you are a long way from that exchange.

your attenuation is 28dB so i wouldn't expect to much in the way of speed either


28dB would be unusable for VDSL,  but for ADSL2 you should still be able to get  10-15+Mbps with that attenuation.

(and this is backed up by Chorus website - stick your address in there https://www.chorus.co.nz/maps and it says ">10Mbps")

Most likely cause of this is the in-building wiring.  You could get it fixed I expect for $150-300 but is it worth it for just a few weeks?  (assuming your UFB install is really only a few weeks away -which may or may not be the case)
