Mum is on a Spark ADSL plan in Auckland, and I told her she should consider going to VDSL .

There is no master splitter/filter installed... if we upgrade her to a spark VDSL plan , will they install a master splitter? And, does that cost anything?

I 'could' install one myself as I have done so before at my house, but better they do it :)

Nope, it's a connection only order.

Master filter install is easy. If it's simple. The optional optimisation of existing wiring and multiple sockets etc is the pita part could consume more of a weekend than intended. Unless you're a practiced pro like coffeebarron.

On the plus side installing a master filter could get more performance from existing adsl.

Checked for fibre?

Edit: master filter retail is down to $20 for some reason it's a good time for it.
