if you have the prebuilt patch panel and outlets then thats great, it should be straight forward getting AP's around the place as long as they are in decent locations. May not get 10 Gig over them though.

Yes, thanks for the advice 🙏 will go on the AP route as mentioned by the other guys as well (while I’m conscious it won’t hit 2G since I’m just on a 2/2G plan) but I’ll let one device capable for multi gig connected to the 10G port. Cheers

The smartest move at this time unless you have a specific need for speeds over 1G (and I am aware of several organisations that do), would be to stick with FibreMax (1G). The biggest reason is that the cost of over 1G equipment is still disproportionately high, and the choice is low. Why spend more for something that might not do what you want, to enable a service you don't need?

Even without changing gear over, the doubling of upload speed may help many video producing people to speed it up or up the quality they send out. Lack of choice for the better plans it the main show stopper for me. One ISP I will never go near again and another that has a terrible reputation for underperforming and over promising is it :(

Hi Guys, I just got my Hyperfibre from Chorus My provider is Orcon I choose the 2000Mbps.

I update few of my switches and some ethernet cards and I will update some home computer with the USB ethernet adapter.

I did few speed test but seems I'm not able to find a server that could reach the 2000Mbps in download. Upload is fine.

How you guys tested your line? Any suggestion?

...and BTW I started a FB group to share some info there as well (I don't know if im allowed to say this here)

but search for hyperfibre nz.

Cheers

I've tested the Spark speedtest servers on Hyperfibre and achieved 2/4/8Gbps downloads. Of course, it's not as simple as that :-)

I have been following this thread, I am still wondering why people are needing anything in excess of the 900/500 speeds.

There is not much hardware that can support these speeds, however as pointed out in the thread, unless you are up with what gear is needed to achieve the 2/4/8 Gb speeds then you are just spending a heap of cash on bragging rights that you can do speed tests that have no bearing on real-world usage!

A case in point is the majority of laptops and all phones use WiFi. So you are maxed out at 1Gb (assuming you have a very impressive WiFi setup)

Am i missing something?

I upgraded an old pc with a 10gbps nic and got 4000mbps down and 3900 upload on speedtest.net with orcon on hyperfibre. I've also gone to expense of upgrading to cat7a (around 600m of cabling). 3m cat 7a 300m reel is around $750. Plus cat6a rf45 jacks. A 16 port switch is around $2k (copper 10g ports). Still to get a 10gbps switch but for time tested 10g port on Nokia modem. Its awesome speed for gaming online.

I'm curious about this comment? From what I've read, there are a number of low cost USB-2.5Gbe adaptors that should be able to easily support a Hyperfibre 2000 connection?

It would need to be a usb c connector to get 10gbps.

A pc 10gbps nic is approx 150$.

It's not about a device getting full 4Gb but instead like you said laptop and phones maxing out at 1Gb, so now with hyperfibre up to 4 devices can access the internet at full 1Gb speed where as before those 4 devices would have to share the 900 speed so theoretical each would Max out at say 225mbps, if they were all downloading at the same time.

Hi, and it could be very well the case, but the comments from the OP so far would indicate it could very well be something way less

@CuriousTraveler would be curious to understand what online gaming sites provided an experience that was much superiour to a more common 900/450 connection, honestly very interested.

Hyperfibre is ideal for world of Warcraft where the patches for the game are 20gb+ in size to download.
