MichaelNZ: In short you are too far for VDSL. Go back to ADSL2+
I have had VDSL up to ~800m in Frankton, Hamilton. Apparently the cables there are above average size and it worked OK. Everything I have heard is VDSL is pretty crap over 1km.
OK, an update.
This morning at around 5:20 - 5:30 our internet went down again. The first time since the earlier problem was fixed on 20 April.
Vodafone support said they could see our modem and that we had a "good, strong connection".
Turned out it only required a modem re-boot to fix (yes, I should have done that before phoning them of course!)
==
But the cynical in me thought "good, strong connection" yeah, if only. So I decided to run a speed test.
Big surprise:
Best result in the first two weeks after being reconnected: 21.07 DOWN, 0.84 UP (1 May).
Today after rebooting modem: 26.27 DOWN, 2.42 UP(25 May).
Line stats now (25 May 2017) as below; ie. certainly not great VDSL but a massive improvement on anything we have had before and better than anything ADSL2+ will do for us.
Corresponding Line stats at 2 May (which probably applied up till last night as had not noticed any improvement)
Sooo
1. Damn glad we did not take advice from various people (including a couple of Chorus technicians) to drop back to ADSL2+
2. Something happened overnight to dramatically improve our VDSL connection (probably explains the modem hiccup).
3. Has there been a major VDSL system upgrade?
Our new line stats look very good for ~1.5km from the cabinet.
