Feedback much appreciated regarding viability of vdsl, need for master filter and how to get installed if necessary.

definitely i'd look at coffeebarron doing it for you, spark you will pay $298.
based off linestats i would expect a bit more out of it, would need to see the graphs to make a more educated indication though.

This is probably a silly question, but do you need a master splitter for naked VDSL?

Spark's naked services are unique in the market in that they are not truly naked. Spark still uses ICMS as the basis for all our copper provisioning, and as such, we technically have no way of billing a customer for a naked ASID number. All our naked xDSL customers therefore have a local copper landline number connected in ICMS which the naked service is billed against, and this phone number is printed on their Spark bill.
Essentially all our naked xDSL customers have a standard copper phone line connected - it just has a full incoming and outgoing call bar enabled. This is why all our naked xDSL customers will always have dial tone at the jackpoints (and can actually make 111 calls from the line if required). Because of this peculiarity, I'd recommend a master splitter in situations where attenuation is a problem, where the house wiring is particularly old, or where there are many jackpoints inside the house.

This has to be one of the more useful hidden little things for fault checking..

Certainly makes life as a faultman easier when there's dial tone or even disconnect tone to check with, instead of having to muck around and get DSL sync or tone for continuity.
Anything I say is the ramblings of an ill informed, opinionated so-and-so, and not representative of any of my past, present or future employers, and is also probably best disregarded.

absolutely, however i have had to correct techs in the past that a naked vdsl line (non spark in this case) did not have a voice line attached at all.
The moment i was told there was no dialtone i was about ready to pop!
as a RSP rep, it is a great trouble shooting step when possible too..
