Got mine in today. Delighted with the speeds. Should hit 100 when the vectoring is enabled.

Distance from the cabinet?

About 35-40 metres I would say. No more than that anyway.

That's crazy. Some people 400m away are getting better speeds?

It's only a new cab. Vectoring hasn't been enabled yet. I'm on a 70/20 profile at the minute. Will get 100/20 when its switched on.

Got the vectoring sorted today. On 100/20 now.

How do you go about getting vectoring done?

Happens automatically in the vast majority of cases witihn a few weeks of vectoring going live.

How do you know what cabinets have it?

You should get it automatically if it's an existing cab. Mine was new so after 24 hours tech support could push it up.

AFAIK all cabs are now live.

Calebmcd · 16-05-2014 1:31pm

Thats with 70/20 and eVision

All cabinets with fewer than 192 ports have vectoring.

is there any way to tell if my cabinet has less than 192 ports?

BionicRasher · 16-05-2014 9:43pm

How do I get vectoring enabled on Vodafone? Or how can I tell if it is enabled?

Calebmcd · 17-05-2014 1:11pm

Just added HD to my eVision and got a speed bump, sync at 80/20 now.

ShodenMcClane · 20-05-2014 6:01pm

Wasn't sure where to post this so I'll go for both here and the VDSL test thread.

These were my speeds a while back after getting VDSL installed:

Can anyone suggest why my speed has dropped to this? Both test's were done wired with nothing else on the network. Cheers.

Very nice indeed. No sign of vectoring on my cabinet at all.

I have Vodafone Fibre and my download is higher than yours but your upload + ping are higher than mine.

Anyone know how to improve this? The ping especially.

I do, one is about 2 minutes away from me.

Still get a ping of 15ms+

Same here, does anyone know do Eircom just upgrade you or do you have to ask them? Also do they give the free upgrade to both the old packages of 50/15 and 70/20?

I joined Vodafone only recently so I was put straight onto the 100/20 profile but I'm sure they'll upgrade you as soon as it's in your area.

Probably just takes a modem reboot and you're done.

It was just a joke sorry. Not a very good one mind.

I don't totally trust the online speed tests. Try in DOS pinging google.ie and google.co.uk, I get rock solid pings of 6 and 15 respectively, that's pretty damn good.
