I posted here a while back that I had an issue with the VDSL slowing down over time.
When first installed , i was getting 30/8 , it eventually degraded to a third of that over months
A couple of days after posting, powering off the modem etc, there was no change
then...that night a thunderstorm appeared ... there were some good lightening nearby... VDSL was dropped and reconnected and I was back to 30/8...... no reset or power loss to router
Now the chorus cabinet is about 1km away.
So I was wondering....
Did the lightening cause equipment failure an there was a failover in the cabinet to other equipment
Could it of vaporized any "water" in the copper line and cause a better connection?
Reason I ask is I am now back to 12/16.... and have been for days......
and there has been no rain (until tonight)
