How can you tell if the cabinet has been upgraded?

 

your sync speed would have changed

but everyone should be on the new system by the 5th of may as per: https://sp.chorus.co.nz/product-update/were-upgrading-copper-connections-nationwide

@hio77, any reason i wouldnt have got the disconnect on the 29th? had one about midnight on the 24th though. im guessing they have changed their schedule

strangely enough I didn't have a disconnect either, but I am defiantly on DDLM

how can you tell if your on DDLM? ring ISP?

no wait till after the 5th of may and you can pretty much guarantee you will be

you should have had a change in sync speed

only thing is i havent had any changes ups in my connection speeds or anything like that so could be unrelated :)

smalltrader:[snip] I am stuck with copper technology for a while as I have a alarm system.

 

 

Huh? Pretty poor service from your alarm company if that's the case. Either get an IP dialler or cellular.

 

 

The alarm system is pretty new and can be upgraded to have an IP module. The issue is wiring to the location of the router. It is going to be a semi major exercise to wire from the alarm control module to the where the router is. Looking at the hassle, I have decided VDSL is good enough for now. The wiring can wait till the next major renovation.

 

What kind of phone cable has been used to connect to the alarm? As sometimes CAT5 is used and sometimes a thin white cable called telecom homelan. If it is the telecom homelan that stuff is simply 2 pair CAT5. You can still use it for 100BaseT ethernet. Surely an alarm IP module won't need gigabit.

Otherwise why can't you just get a cellular based monitoring module?

I was in the same position - no easy way to get a cable to the alarm from the router. Got a GSM module installed with a 2Degrees prepaid sim card in it. It texts me when the alarm triggers and I can arm or disarm remotely with a text message. Just have to remember to top up sim card annually. 

nakedmolerat: My speed was 40 down 8 up.

After this update, 32 down 23 up.

Is this expected or should I let bigpipe knows

There's nothing your ISP can do. Just leave it alone and hope it gets better.

 Was on 60/10 for ages until recently when it dropped to 50/10, not that Im complaining anyway :) But an increase would be nice :)

Cabinet only about 200m away if that.

i am not sure how i fit in this one -

But, i just moved house. so from adsl (5 mbps) to now vdsl (50 mbps). (feels great)

i restarted my router and did speed test ove LAN, got 64 mbps Down speed and 3 mbps upload.

But wifi is bit wierd. shows only 30 mbps down.

is it normal or need to do some tweeks ???

FYI: i havent reset router settings since i changed moved from adsl to vdsl.

Could it be due to that ?!!
