I have been browsing the forums for a few days, mainly to learn about VFX and to figure out whether I should join up or not, and have decided to give it a go.
I have broadband from Xnet and they were extremely helpful in getting me back on to broadband in August 2006.
I live 6 km from the exhange and I suspect this is the main reason for my low-ish connection speeds. (Although I am only 3 kms from industrial park at Hamilton airport and I wonder how they get broadband there...anyone know?)
I'm on FS/2000 down and 128 up but the actual speeds are;
650 down and 165 up (modem adsl status)
567 down and 101 up (xnet speed test).
Anyway, there have been many comments saying that the connections speeds are not too important. I believe that QoS interactions between the linksys SPA2102 and Xnet will be automatic to minimise break up of voice calls. Can anyone explain this in more detail please...
I have ordered a Linksys SPA2102 expect it to arrive next week... :-)
Not sure if it is preconfigured, how important is this? C1 had two SPA2102s on their website,
one specified that it was unconfigured, but the other did not mention
anything, so will have to wait and see what turns up on the doorstep.
I tried to sign up to VFX, but the online form doesn't like me "customer not found" ... not to worry as I will just phone in tomorrow. No one answered earlier today.
I plan to get a new Hamilton number to try out the service and port the existing number when naked becomes available.
Will let you know how it goes. Appreciate any comments.
Cheers
Justin
