We had an old D Link 504G Router
We had a cabinit installed up the rd a few months ago!!'
Im on the VF Ultimate Plan
I rang VF and the call centre operator about weather we can expect an improvement in d/l speed. They said No.!!


Today I tried a friends ADSL2 + router and we were able to get double the d/l speed.
From a 6.5 to near 13Mbit/.sec based on trace through Tauranga.


I have since purchased a Linksys AG 300 4 Port ADSL 2 Gateway and can confirm that we are able to maintain that connection.
So it seems that the VF call centre staff dont know what they are talking about

The 504G and various other cheap dlinks are known to be pretty shocking at times in comparison to competitors options. Good switch.
