Slingshot Upgrade to VDSL from ADSL - Island Bay

$

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for some technical advice as I am struggling with providers in the Island Bay area. I am up on Volga Street in the hill and I am in the process of being upgraded to VDSL. This is through Slingshot.

I am currently on ADSL and my line test from modem are giving me the following:

Downstream / UpstreamSNR Margin (0.1dB): 7.8 / 8.8Attenuation (0.1dB): 35.6 / 10.5Output Power (dBm): 19.5 / 9.3Attainable Rate (Kbps): 12664 / 1108Rate (Kbps): 11660 / 1029

I tried to have VDSL installed three years ago and basically ended up having to revert back to ADSL. The line was too poor. This resulted in no internet and a lot of backwards and forwards for a week or so.

Coincidentally we have an engineer in our office today doing our telephony system and network. He had a look at the above and said "You have no chance of getting stable VDSL on that".

I currently hold little to no hope that when I get home VDSL will be up and running. (It is due to be installed today)

I will let you know how things progress...

Doing research online there is a lot of people saying getting master splitters can help. (But I have no clue)

Also what are my options? Can I pursue Chorus or anything to get the lines to the house improved etc (I am quite a way back from the road in a house built back in 1990 so am unsure on how good the lines would be).

Any help, advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Richard
