Have just signed up with Telecom to get VDSL2 broadband at the shop (at this stage we cannot get Ultra high speed).
With the exisiting connection we have we often get time out problems where it just stops or worse freezes.
I have been told by Telecom that this will not be an issue with VDSL2.
So I pay $199-00 for installation and an extra $20-00 per month and I get 30gb (at present I get 20gb) and will be able to watch sport with out any problems.
Installation takes place next Monday (21st October), the modem has arrived and is a shiny Black sleek looking piece of equipment with many different coloured cables .
Having been with Telecom in prevoius employment and knowing all about this stuff I am still not allowed to install it!.
Will let you know on how it goes.

does this work with any exchange that currently has standard ADSL Broadband?

We are only about 300 metres from the cabinet, so should be interesting to see how it performs, will do a speed test prior to the installation and one after

Okay so we have VDSL2 connected and below are the following readings

Latency was  25ms  now 31ms
Download was 16.24 mbps  now 33.88 mbps
Upload was 0.78 mbps  now 8.29 mbps

so as you can see it has changed alot!

0.78 mbps  [/color]now 8.29 mbps

That seems to be the standard Telecom ADSL upload speed. I use Telecom ADSL in Christchurch and a small wireless provider here in the country. The wireless upload speed is 4.23mbps and 5.34mbps download which is close to the ADSL download speed in the city.
