Well according to these calculations my cabinet is less than 40M from my house :)

What do they look like?

networkn: Thanks for that. Dumb Question. How do I take 2664426 6474828
and get a location?



You'll want to take those coordinates and paste them into this converter:

http://www.linz.govt.nz/geodetic/conversion-coordinates/online-conversion-service/converter/index.aspx


Convert from "New Zealand Map Grid" to "World Geodetic System 1984".  Note you will need to swap around the numbers when entering them.  Then you can take the output and copy paste it directly into google maps and you'll get a location.

Thanks. The co-ordinates someone provided me were a tiny bit off, they had my cabinet 50m from my house, but I found the bhb/r cabinet 1 road across from me which is 400-500m from my house depending on where the cable runs, and so I am excited to find out how much faster my connection will be. I am estimating 18mbps :) :)

Now I just need to find out when I can get vdsl, as that will be really quick :)
