Hello!
After switching from ADSL to VDSL and not seeing any increase in speed, I've decided to get the wiring in my house sorted. I'd like to have a master filter installed and a dedicated jackpoint done as well, since the wiring in my house is very old. This is also what I've seen numerous people suggest as a starting point for fixing speed issues. 

From what I can tell, the line enters the property via overhead line and terminates in a box up high sort of close to our power line, which is why I didn't want to do it myself. I can provide a photo of this if required via PM. The new jack-point can be in any location, the closer the better from what I have read. Our house is a rental but our landlord is pretty chill, so getting permission won't be an issue. 

If anyone is interested in doing this job for me, please drop me a PM or reply to this thread. 

Location: Taupiri, Rural. 
ISP: Orcon
Distance to Cabinet: 1.1km (estimated) 

 

Current Downstream Attenuation (0.1 dB): 450
Speed:
SpeedTest

 

I also sent coffee baron a PM, since he seems to be able to do these jobs. Get back to me baron! 😀

 

(Hope that's enough information, if you guys need more let me know)
