He said if it was to upgrade to ADSL2, we'd get a more consistent service.
So who do we need to talk to to get that to happen?
Edit: Story. We had vodafone internet issues like DNS and speed drops. We recently jumped over to Spark and no more DNS issues but we still get the speed drops. I'm only now taking note of the times of these spikes and it seems to be at peak traffic times. The unfortunate thing is that our speed can drop so much that websites will basically break from the slow speed at certain times. Work hours it seems to run fine at up to 370kb/s. Later in the night dropping to 100kb/s which sounds ok but the internet issues happen. Healthy ping to auckland is 60, but at those spikes it can go to 260ms and the speed tests can break/not complete during these spikes. Had chorus come out to check our wiring but he came all the way to our home just to say he only checks the line between us and the exchange. I have to assume our house wiring is fine considering that it can be consistently good for half the day. Chorus guy said that Ohaupo is running on ADSL1 and that the more people that have connected in to that, will bloat the system and cause some of these spikes we experience. If Ohaupo upgraded their exchange to ADSL2 or more, we'd get a more consistent speed. Not sure what my next step would be so need help with that part. Fibre runs down our road to connect the schools (Ryburn Road), but an exchange can cost. The farmers in the area might want to congregate to get an exchange for the 6+ of us that it would reach, but no idea on who we could approach to get that installed. Kindof a different topic question there, so my first thoughts are wondering how or when Ohaupo will get upgraded from ADSL1.
