The Interweb

<p>This is (work) wireless connection provided at a client site:</p>

<p> </p>
<p>As you can see, pretty average. :(</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thankfully my home connection is much, much better.</p> -

<p>This is somewhat deceiving. We mostly hover around 10Mb and in the evening we drop down and the ping is usually a lot slower.</p> -

<p>That's just showing off too ... although TBF it is coming from Keyville. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We both got a grade B though. :)</p> -
<p>As long as when I move to property somewhere near Hokitika I can get comparable internet to what I currently have at home, I'll be happy.</p>

<p>We have been here 5 1/2 years now, when we first arrived we were put on a waiting list to hook up to broadband. It took nearly a year, in which time we had to endure dial up.</p>
<p>Id say since then our speeds have quadrupled.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Your upload speeds arent that great though.</p> -

<p>Neither are the download's ... Sydney has cabbage internet, and it took us over a month to get it hooked up in the city. Bonkers.</p> -

<p>That's kind of the point. As the gap widens further there will be plenty of Oz dwellers deciding that maybe NZ is the place to run their business from.</p> -
<p>Those Oz ones from Nick and Nepia show almost no upload speed at all. The ISP must be choking the up to squeeze out as much down as they can. They will be screwed as soon as their customers wake up to the opportunities of cloud and providing services from uploading.</p>

<p>I would never consider living anywhere without decent speeds, its like checking the quality of the water and who your electricity supplier is.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Crucial is that ADSL2/VDSL or fibre your running off?</p> -

<p>That's the idea behind NBN - the Fibre-To-The-Node plan is going to deliver minimal benefits to upload because copper. Fibre was meant to take us from Asymmetrical DSL to something more useful</p> -

<br>
VDSL at about 300m from the cabinet. Around the maximums you'll get anyway. <br><br>
Nick, that is copper with FTTN. You don't need FTTH for decent speed but that's about the current limit. -

I assume that is on coax is it Antipodean? I think they call is hybrid fibre over there. The stuff laid for cable TV originally like the Saturn/voda network in Welly and ChCh over here. <br>
Great speeds at present but little room for future improvements. Damn sight better than the shit Nick is getting. -
<p>Nah, just VDSL2. Hopefully we'll be upgraded to fibre soon.</p>
