We just had chorus show up to install our VDSL.
Two young guys in a beat up grey sedan (no chorus van), no tools, no test equipment or the like. I had to lend them our ladder for them to install the Cat5 in our roof.
Clearly i have no confidence now...!


They have made a switch from ADSL to VDSL, our modem was showing 13850kbps /1044kbps (Orcon) and now its showing 9340kbps / 4450kbps (2Talk) on the new VDSL service.

Has anyone experienced this?  We are about 200m from our cabinet in Sandringham, Auckland.

VDSL slower than ADSL by 3MBps!!

The wires in the roof they have cut and just twisted together by hand and crudely put some insulation tape around them, no jointers or anything?
Is this normal?

 



Heres the wiring they did!

Your description of events does not indicate a successful VDSL install.

Please contact your ISP, log a fault and ask them to contact their Chorus Service Delivery Manager to investigate.
