I have a Zyxel p2812 with afrihost capped and line bundle.

Unit and account worked fine in Adsl. I requested line upgrade to 20mbps VDSL and afrihost confirm line is vdsl enabled. Switched router over to vdsl mode and utilised same credentials pppoe , auto dns etc. Unfortunately can not setup an active connection. I have tried every setting variation i am aware of as well as the telkom guest account...still nothing.

Anyone who has been successful in setting up the above and who is willing to share details is entitledto a free beer.

Thanks
 
Hi, no. It wont switch to adsl mode which suggests the line is infact vdsl
 
Buy a PACE from Telkom and set it to ADSL/VDSL mode and it auto detects :)
 
Do you get a sync? If not, you are probably too far from exchange to get VDSL as you need to be a lot closer to the exchange.
 
Hi there,
Have you asked Afrihost or the credentials. I would. Their people are very helpful in configuring routers and did one for me the other day.

Regards

Tim

Yep, check if you are syncing first - this will tell you if the problem lies with the line or the account.

That mode would not detect ADSL for me, I had to hard set it to ADSL.

Once Telkom had set the line I hard set it to VDSL.

VDSL/ADSL worked fine for me. I threw the Pace out with the empty Nandos food boxes since it's a heap of crap. Netgear FTW, even dropped my reported downstream attenuation by 5db using a better modem.
 
PACE is much better than Zyxel, and the nice thing is, Telkom will actually support you for free

I can second the Pace is absolute rubbish. Also no firmware upgrade for the PACE since of lovely Telkom bloatware firwmare. Intermittently freezes dropping wireless, ethernet and internet. Very. Frustrating.
