I'm on Telecom VDSL and I used to get rock solid, consistent, download speeds of 29mbs but I see it has now dropped down to 25mbs.  I'm still perfectly happy with the service - pings are the same and excellent, uploads speeds have remained the same (9.5) and I have a great internet experience but I'm just curious:  what would cause download speeds to drop after months of being at the same speed?  Could it be case of more people joining VDSL in my street? 


I live in Porirua.  Am one street away from UFB which is coming to my street shortly (can't wait, so excited, as in its the last thing I think about before going to sleep) and will get it just as soon as it does.  OMG those new Chorus wholesale plans have just come in at the right time.

You can simply join the 20 or so other threads about VDSL2 speeds that have appeared in the last month or so complaining of slowing VDSL2.

One would assume your sync speeds have reduced, which like pretty much every other thread is simply an effect of crosstalk.
