I can't find the thread I made/ or replied in with regard to my Red Network problems I was having.

Well we have been on the Red Network now for 5-6months and have had major problems with it.

It would continously disconnect - sometimes every 15 secs, sometimes every 15-20 minutes...and sometimes it would be right as rain for weeks.

Tried a new Linksys modem, tried Dlink modem.  Had Chorus out here about 3-4 times.  Nobody could find an error.

I also commented how our ADSL2+ speed was a lot slower than I had calculated - distance from the exhange etc.  Which I am not that far from the exchange, about 2kms.  Even Chorus said I should have been getting faster speed.  We averaged 3-5mbps (mostly under or around 4mbps) and I worked out it should be between 6 and 8mbps with a max of 12mbps, on ADSL2+

Well after all the call-outs and such we decided to go back to resale Telecom.

My modem stayed connected for a whole week.  The only time it has been disconnected was when I needed the plug.    We connect at an avg of 4.7mbps with a stable SNR margin of 12.  On Red Network my SNR was always 3.

So Telecoms ADSL is much better, faster and stable than using Vodafone's Red Network ADSL2+ network.

I just want to inform people before they swtich to Red Network from Telecom wholesale.

Another thing we just found out is that we could not bring our Telephone number back to Telecom as they do not have the process of aquiring them back.  But they let you leave and go to another telephone provider without giving you a warning.

So at least we have the option of staying with Vodafone, keeping our number and using Telecom Wholesale.
