If you're in a high rise condo/apartment they will usually provide VDSL through existing phoneline.

Even though there's maintenance on the international pipe apparently, everything still OK today also (I'm on VDSL)

But if you actually download larger files from US based servers, once it has a minute or so to reach full speed, still possible to max out connection. If I run a speedtest to US server, shows slow speed. If I download from US based Usenet server, can still max out to 2mb/s on VIP20

2mb/s as in 2000kb/s , 20mbps

Ok Ok, I know its not exact - but close enough

I always get confused between them, but the point I was trying to make initially is that I'm able to max out my connection downloading from international servers.

Unifi website only seems to show Block A+B, maybe best to give them a call to confirm availability for Block C.

I'm using SIP software (XLite/eybeam softphone) but with seperate SIP account - not the number provided by Unifi.

Don't see any reason why this shouldn't work - haven't tried it myself on Unifi but never had any issues on any other wifi connections.

1. The feedback of the router provided DIR-615 is not good, quite a few complaints if you read around on the board. Mine broke - I didn't bother to get a replacement from TM but bought an alternative (TP Link)
2. I believe you need to still use provided router as a bridge, unless your router supports VLAN tagging, otherwise IPTV won't function
3. I don't know if the Unifi password can be changed (PPPoe password that is) anyway there's no need as it gets saved on the router anyway
4. You can login to the provided router or your own router, to change the WEP password
5. You would need WiFi USB dongle, or PCI card.
6. Not 100% sure , but I guess the equipment still belongs to them , so should be able to replace/fix if any issue. With faulty router I just replaced myself as I was worried the same thing would happen again to DIR-615

I'm using the XTE VDSL modem unfortunately, otherwise I'd help

Existing phone line used

For some reason today my VOIP calls (using softphone) are very choppy and pingtest.net results is terrible hope it resolves shortly, impossible to make worthwhile phone calls.

Anyone here using Usenet to download? Torrents get too frustrating, Usenet nearly always full speed !
