My Aunty (in Mt Eden) currently has ADSL and gets around 10mbit down. She just signed up with Spark for 12 months. I told her to get VDSL instead for same price. Would be good with faster speeds, as she watches a lot of TV via Kodi on an Android box.
The guy at Spark called me, while she was there and offered to upgrade her to wireless instead. He claims the speeds are faster than VDSL.
My question is: Is he telling the truth or just getting a higher commission by selling her wireless? I assume he will get paid more, as Spark don't need to send someone out to install wireless. They just gave her a modem.
Also, is connection less stable with wireless vs VDSL?
And finally, he said she would get speed as fast at fibre 30.
Wireless plan is 150GB per month, where VDSL is unlimited, but she saves $10 or so on wireless.
We just want to avoid buffering (as much as possible), when she watches live TV via Kodi.
