Good morning

Anyone know where I can find a decent VDSL router that won't break the bank. Non of the telkom stores in Gauteng is answering their phones :mad: and the one closest to me (Cresta) dont have stock.

Any advice thanks
 
Last time I bought from them you could but they don't take cash or debit/credit cards. You have to do an EFT.
 
Game, Incredible Connection, Makro, Hi-Fi Corp, Matrix Computers, etc.

Surely a regular ADSL router should also work just fine up to the max sync of ADSL2+ or whatever the router supports?

If he has a VDSL line it won't sync.
 
Never heard of that happening(change to ADSL 2+). He'd have to call Telkom and ask them to change it. Which may be a bigger headache than buying a new modem

They take cash and Credit/Debit cards. Last time I purchased from them I had no issues paying with my Credit card.

That is why I said may. It depends on how the line is set up.

What will happen is on a call to the call centre, the operator may ask him "what modem do you have?" and on answering, simply reconfigure the line to ADSL2+ from vdsl without informing him that he is now no longer on VDSL but back on ADSL2+ if he does not have a VDSL modem.
 
Hi guys so I just upgraded from 10mb adsl to 20mb VDSL. but im running a netgear N300 v2. What should it be syncing at? because I don't think its VDSL at all. Should I be buying a new modem? What is worth it from Telkom?

You can get 20 mbps on ADSL however the upload isn't that great compared to VDSL, however on ADSL you won't need a new modem. On VDSL you'd need to get a VDSL capable one.
 
I have a 20mb adsl line. I upgraded from a 10mb to 20mb adsl. Download speed 18-18.5mb and upload 0.8-1.0mb. I understand that the upload speed on 20mb vdsl is between 1mb and 2mb.
This last month my connection has been choppy though.

I also might need a vdsl router. I heard vdsl might be more stable than adsl.
