I'm still getting 150-160 down and 100 up. Tested within the router and also using cable. @NickR1 

 

 

Since it looks like you're on the right (new) profile - it's unlikely our end, but I'm happy to double check things if you PM me the details.

Hi All

 

I'm in Auckland with Vodafone, and mine went from 100/20 to 300/100 last night .... 

 

 

Looks like mine went up too but partially, getting 150-160 down & 100 up, what about you? I believe someone mentioned that it's done in two stages where Chorus do their part which increases up immediately but then ISP has to do something to increase down but not sure why down is stuck in between, gone up but not up to 300

 

 

Mine is at 100 up but still 100 down so hopefully not too long before it gets upgraded to 300/100.

I am on Vodafone in Wellington and, as of last night, I was getting 100 upstream but still only 100 downstream. Hopefully the upgrade will be complete in the coming days. 

 

 

I just tested mine again tonight and I'm getting 300/100. I am very happy with this!

I'm on Vodafone in Wellington and looks like I'm getting 100 upstream but still only 100 downstream. Hopefully get the 300 down soon now that up seems to have been upgraded.

Hi mentalinc

 

 

 

I thought the same with mine that it had gone from 100/20 to interim 100/100,

 

but when I tested from the X20 (super wifi) which plugged directly to the ONT I'm getting 300/100,

 

I suspect my el cheapo switch plugged into the X20 is only 100 rather than 1000 ... so my hourly speed test from a RPi connected to the switch only show 93/93

 

 

 

 

oh no, i just checked my home internet, on the speedtest, i am only on 100/20, but on my tp-link superwifi x20, it has 300/100 on it...

I'm using Vodafone super wifi and tested via the Deco X20 and only getting 100 down, but via the Vodafone Ultrahub directly I have 300 down. If I was to switch off the netwrok from the Ultrahub would I then get the full speed through the X20, or can the deco be connected directly to the ONT to then get the full speed? I have Vodafone TV gen 1 which works via a Vodafone wifi extender connected to the ultrahub so still need that to work.

Figured it out. Until now I had the Deco unit connected to the Ultrahub with a new network as that's what the setup instructions said to do - and I still had the original network on the Ultrahub that nothing connected to other than the vodafone wifi extender used to connect to the bundled Vodafone TV. Now I have connected the Deco unit directly to the ONT and get 300 download speed. To make Vodafone TV work I have connected the extender to the second ethernet port on the back of the Deco and in the Deco app I have enabled IPTV in the advanced settings with mode 'New Zealand UFB' and Vodafone TV works. So there's actually now no need for the Vodafone Ultrahub.

 

 

 

Edit: Am working from home and making this change coincided with not being able to get into one of my work apps (which was fine before making the change) as it was saying my connection was not private. Thought I'd have to change back to the prior settings but turned out it's an issue with the particular app today that happened to start at about the same time, not my connection!

I'm still on 100/20. 

 

 

 

I've read through the forums and understand that there is some lag between Chorus doing their bit and the ISP doing theirs. Now that Chorus has finished all of their upgrades shouldn't my upload speed be 100? I understand that I need to wait for Vodafone to increase the download speed to 300.

 

 

 

I've rebooted my router and ONT and checked the speed on the router's speed test app. Oddly, the Chorus broadband checker says I'm on a 300/20 connection.
