Finally have the new VDSL connection going!
We had the new connection wired up on the 23rd Of December, but due to a few 2degrees errors we were hooked up to ADSL2+, and could only get 20/1 speeds.
Have to say it has not been a easy experience with 2degrees on this. Many staff mistakes delayed things.
But we now have a very fast VDSL2 connection maxing out at 130/30 line connection. So was well worth pursing.

@outdoorsnz that is awesome for VDSL it is faster on the uplink than the fibre 100/20 plans

Yes I was pretty stoked! 302 meters from cabinet. Cat6 in conduit (from comms cabinet) to the chorus connection, so fibre ready.

Id take that connection at a rural property any day of the week, nice!
That is pretty impressive!
My parents are about the same distance - looks like I need to re-do their cabling a little as it is syncing a little less these days (didn't use outdoor rated Ethernet cable):

Well semi rural. I do have cattle for neighbors sometimes. But it was way more than what I was expecting given all the info from chorus site.
