Our house can only get up to 10mbps ADSL2 connection and the actual speed is around 6mbps, in the evenings it is even slower. ADSL2 is the only connection available for our house which is in Mt Albert, Auckland.

We are only 300 metres away from the nearest house that has UFB connection, according Chorus website, we will not have UFB until 2017 and 2018.

Could anyone advice how to get a faster broadband for our house? This is getting really frustrating!

THe guys at gowifi can preconfigure the two access points so u just line them up till all the leds come up, 
Its just the same has having a cable link with the usual wireless issues i.e clear line of sight , channel interference. 
to get the best out of them it will pay to spend some time on the ubiquiti forums , some basic networking knowledge is advisable, 
Or hire a friendly local person from this forum. 
The power consumption is minimal , and static so easy to work out reinbursment.

The 450mbs is peak not actual throughput so expect 25%
 
something like a couple of those, will mount to aerial masts u will need one for each end. 

I am pushing a 30mb vdsl connection 3kms on there af5x gear with only 2ms extra latency,  

To keep life simple draw up a formal contract with you prospective friend , saves hassle later on
