I have been looking into getting VDSL recently so I messaged Slingshot and Snap to do a pre-qualification and I was surprised by both responses. Snap said my lines attenuation is 1db and I should get a sync rate of 45Mbps+. Slingshot said that I could potentially get download speeds of up to 26.9Mbs and upload speeds of up to 13.6Mbps. What Snap say would be great but what Slingshot say would be better than what I have but it's kind of disappointing.
Whats with the huge difference?
Months ago I messaged Telstra/Vodafone to ask what my line attenuation is and I was told it was 3db up and 10db down so I don't know where Snap was getting their 1db from but that was months ago so maybe things have changed since then. I might ask them again since the only stats my router gives out is sync rates, I have the Linksys WAG120N.
If I message all the other ISP's that do VDSL will they all give me sync rates hugely different to each other?
