I'm finally planning to get broadband (Xnet fusion) to our house (09 827, New Lynn exchange), so I called up Telecom on 123 to find out the distance from the local exchange. No one could actually tell me the distance, but one representative told the line attenuation is 85dB (He couldn’t confirm which frequency this attenuation figure is measured at).
From my understanding line attenuation is directly related to the distance from the exchange, and after doing some research this translate to about 6K+ distance and can expect speeds below 2Mbps.
So my question; Is it worth getting Xnet fusion with full speed up and down? Or should I settle for a cheaper 2Mbps plan?
