There was a comment in the main thread on the timeline.

 

https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=49&topicid=289354&page_no=7#2815297 

 

Just received an email from Vodafone's Jason Paris about the upgrade & he said that 

 

"The plan is to pass this through to the customers in the new year free of charge. Timing of the tech change is yet to be landed."

Hello,

 

The tentative plan is early this month. I've been looking forward to this (since I'm still on 100/20) so have been keeping a close eye on it.

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.

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

Family is now circa 100/100, assume per other thread just waiting for vodafone to make an internal account/plan switch to unlock the 300+

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

bcbear is correct - 100/100 speeds are more likely to be a cable or NIC bottleneck.

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