I just recieved my 10Gbps router.

A transceiver is needed for 10Gbps connection to ONT.

How fast can the latest SSD be?

I suppose I should unsubsribe this thread now. It's getting boring. Yes, I am afraid we are living in a different world.

I think a CCR is the only true way to get HyperFiber speeds to a single desktop PC

however a RB4011 could get 4 users 1gbps simultaneously

If you already have a RB4011, keeping it is not a bad idea. But it is not a good option if you are buying a new router for your hyperfibre. You can use the new CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS for many years till they give you a 50Gbps broadband. It has 12 SFP 10G ports and two SFP28 25G ports.

When/If I get hyperfiber I will get a CCR, I only have 100/100 and even friends leeching off my plex, 3 adults in the house streaming it doesn't sweat at all

The only time I wish I had more was when downloading large ISO files but that isn't that often

I have an RB4011 and a CRS312 switch, my plan was to run the Hyperfibre back out via a vlan on the switch (works fine), but I'm cooling to the plan now and will try out just using the ONT/RGW to start with. Will find out in a couple of weeks!

That sounds good in theory but some of the posts on here seem to indicate that the 4011 is not up to the task from a routing perspective

Hi I have a number of 4011's at work here as L3 firewalls to connect various units on site to the 10G L2 backbone we run.

As they only have the single 10G link and 10x 1G links its a bit of a mission to test there ability. However running them as a "Router On a Stick" via the 10G SFP+ ports (but without NAT) I can confirm to see routing in the 8-9Mb/s region. However depending on traffic the use of a single interface for forward and reverse traffic can compromise things. But these results indicate that it can route at or near 10G, as for NAT at 10G..... cannot comment.

Just received:

Chorus confirms the launch of Hyperfibre - the next-generation in broadband technology. Hyperfibre will be available to more than three million people across New Zealand, fundamentally changing the possibilities for how Kiwis live, work and play.

Following an initial launch in select regions including Queenstown, Wanaka and Cromwell in February this year, Chorus has today confirmed Hyperfibre will now be available to nearly three million customers in towns and cities across the country. This ultra-fast fibre broadband technology boasts dramatically increased and symmetric upload and download speeds and cements New Zealand among the top countries internationally to offer broadband faster than one gigabit per second.

Hyperfibre Key Facts:

• Now available in all Chorus UFB1 fibre areas resulting in access for over 3 million Kiwis
• Symmetric upload and download speeds
• Currently 2Gig retail plans based on Chorus Hyperfibre start from $149.00 NZD per month
• Currently 4Gig retail plans based on Chorus Hyperfibre start from $179.00 NZD per month
• Capacity to deliver future broadband speeds of up to 8Gbps

Chorus’ Chief Customer Officer, Ed Hyde says that this is the next evolution in Chorus’ fibre network and is a gamechanger for connectivity in New Zealand.

“Hyperfibre unleashes a new era of hyper-connectivity, enabling businesses to innovate and supercharge their digital operations. It is the ultimate in internet and to be able to offer access to more than 3 million kiwis from today is an incredible development for the country.”
Hyperfibre is seen as ideal for organisations with demanding, mission-critical data access needs. Early customers are already seeing the benefits says Vocus’ Chief Executive - Consumer and Business, Taryn Hamilton.

“The speeds we can offer these days are truly staggering. If you told a Kiwi internet user a few years ago that they could get a 4Gbps connection at their house they would have laughed at you. It’s comically fast, and if we are honest, most Kiwi households wouldn’t be able to use more than a small chunk of it. But, if internet history has taught us anything, technology will find a way to use all that bandwidth,” commented Hamilton.

Matt Lindsay, Country Manager at MyRepublic, agrees. “As an industry, we’re starting to see new ways in which people are using connectivity, both for business, home and in a number of cases that line is blurring.

"It's been great to see how our customers have been using Hyperfibre in their day-to-day. From businesses that have moved their operations to the cloud to support their now remote work forces with centralised access, to people who are now hosting gaming servers in NZ to improve the experience for local gamer communities.

"Hyperfibre has also been a huge help to households that now not only have to keep pace with their already growing usage, but also have one or two people working from home added to the mix.”

The release of Hyperfibre comes at a time when Kiwi homes are consuming more data than ever before with the surge in popularity of ultra-high-definition video streaming, cloud storage, advanced gaming and multiple connected devices. These online activities combined with more people working and learning from home, has seen the average monthly data use per household triple in less than five years.

Hyde says the product reinforces the superior broadband network Chorus has built and is excited by what the Hyperfibre rollout enables for all New Zealand fibre customers.

"The congestion free and highly secure fibre broadband network we've built in New Zealand over the past decade as part of the UFB programme has set a new standard for reliable internet in this country. Hyperfibre is the next evolution in this digital ecosystem and it will provide a platform for many generations to innovate, live and play. It really does reinforce the value of fibre as a broadband connection type and shows just how near limitless the network is.”

not sure paying $60 a month extra for a boost of 1Gig is not a waste of money

Common sense is not as common as you think.

If you are happy, no, it’s not a waste.

$60 per month plus the capital on a CCR Router to route at those speeds plus the 10G switch and then a decent Wifi6(AX) Access Point.... oh and then your devices will need to support AX as well

these speeds been offered now make most peoples internal network the bottleneck

AX has nothing to do with 4Gbps hyper fibre. Don’t go AX at the moment. With the Nokia ONT, you only need a switch. You can find cheap ones under $250.

Finally, chorus came and connnected my hyperfibre. The technician is nice and finished the job quickly.

Here is a simple test to 2degress in Sydney. I will post more tests later.

There are some issues for now.

1. The LAN part of new ONT doesn't allow me to change the DHCP settings, including the static DHCP entry. The user account doesn't have that permission.

2. I didn't get the static ip address I was supposed to have. I will contact MyRepublic on Monday.

Is this on 4000Mbps plan? Can you do speed test to Auckland 2Degrees and any Melbourne servers ?

Also do you get access to change wifi settings etc?

Yes, it is the 4Gbps plan. I will do speed tests later. I did a quick test on a server in Wellington this afternoon. It is 3.7Gbps downloading and 3.2Gbps uploading.

What we can do with the Nokia ONT:

1. Change WiFI setting.

2. Change port forwarding.

Functions need admin permission to operate. Your provider may configurate it remotely.

1. Change the LAN settings, including DHCP options, router ip address, static DHCP entries. If you need static ip address, you can set it on your devices instead of using DHCP.

2. Change the Bridge/Gateway mode.

3. Change the internet connection settings (PPPOE/DHCP etc).

I cannot find a proper way to test the NAT performance.
