Looking at upgrading to VDSL. How long does this normally take and is it hassle free.
Also anything to watch put for.

subaruWRX01:Sideface: Did you get "naked" VDSL or do you still have a phone line?
Did you get a new VDSL modem?
What speeds are you getting from the "best" jackpoint? (without the old ADSL filter)
No naked VDSL , Yes still have a phone line
Yes got the new vdsl modem from spark plugged in can only use the ADSL2 cable with the old ADSL micro filter connected.
as for the old ADSL Filter removed .. How should I plug the modem into the phone jack do I remove the actual phone cable and plugged that into the modem and straight to phone jack ?
I rang spark and they said if VDSL2 works then dont worry about it ? Chorus knows what there doing even thou its weird they did not install anything.
Will get back to you on the speedtest without the ADSL filter

joshhill96: Mine up here in Kerikeri took about a few days since first request, a guy comes to the house has a look at what you already have (With the supplied VDSL/Gigabit modem already installed) and then goes to the cabinet on the street and makes a few adjustments then all good to go, I still have the filter installed for the landline. The speeds I get with VDSL with filter installed are much faster than the standard fibre 30/10 plans and that's with a filter installed, There has been no drop outs or slow in speeds since and that has been since October last year!

If you have multiple phone jackpoints as well as VDSL you MUST have a master filter for maximum performance - as promised by Spark. You have paid for it and you need it! Somebody has cut corners.
You should NOT use an ADSL filter with VDSL.
You should be able to plug your new modem/router directly into the "best" wall jackpoint.
