Hi,

I checked the Orcon, Spark and Vodafone address checker.

My address can get ADSL and VDSL.

DO you think it will improve my current ADSL speed if i switch to VDSL?

My ADSL Current line Rate:

Thanks

your on the longer side of things, you might get 25/2 or so though assuming it goes through.

Your low downstream at that distance implies your line itself isnt too healthy.

My parents were marginal - they went from 4/0.6 to 17/1, so while not spectacular, it's made a massive difference to them.

Yeah, their internal wiring was pretty bad, hence the horrible ADSL speed. I believe the Chorus tech installed a master splitter when he put in VDSL - he ran a whole new line up the side of the house and through the attic.

You have a high downstream attenuation of 22.4dB. Your house wiring may be contributing to this.

If you want VDSL to work well you will need a VDSL master filter, which will improve your house wiring and xDSL performance.

Where i can find the master filter? is it provided by chorus when i apply for vdsl? Or i have to buy it separate and look for a tech to install the master filter.

Thanks
