Hey all,

I'm moving into our new home on Monday 11th December.

VDSL to be enabled this week. I'd like to install get a master splitter installed (3 actually - 1 in the office, 1 in the study, then while I'm at it I may as well get 1 for the main house too)

Once installed I'm assuming the existing phone line will be cabled to the splitter, but I'd need a new connection point for broadband - that correct?

Looking for someone that can install this for me - Whangaparaoa, Auckland.

cheers
Phil

You can only have one master splitter per phone line, not three. It gives a single xDSL outlet to plug a modem into from that phone line. Do you have 3 separate lines that need doing?

Are you running a sweatshop call center there or something? Or else a boarding house? Even when I was full of flatmates here we only had at the most 3 active DSL connections into the place ;)

Why would a house need/want three VDSL2 connections?? Why not data cable the house (maybe you forgot this part) and have one VDSL modem in central location.

Note: Master/splitter filter is typically installed at external termination point not in office etc.

Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

Home study & main living area (will try to run structured cabling from downstairs study to the rest of the house) + rental apartment + office for onsite boarding cattery

I certainly need a separate VDSL for the business. One of the VDSL lines is already active an only getting 18mb/s - hoping to increase that with the splitter. but if I'm stuck with low speeds I may run separate VDSL connections to the study & the lounge - so that my wife's netflix doesn't interfere with the other line that my son & I will be using for gaming.

Only till April 2019 when fibre arrives. Can't wait for that since I've been enjoying 200mb/s fibre at our current home, big drop down to less than a 10th of that :-(
