Broadband speeds: Your questions answered

External factors that may affect Standard Broadband speed
  • The distance from your local telephone exchange: The further away you are from the exchange the slower the connection.
  • Internet traffic: The more people accessing the Internet the slower the speed e.g. peak time between 4pm to midnight.
  • Internet environment: It may be faster to download from a NZ site than an overseas site.
  • New to VDSL: There is a period when you first get VDSL during which your modem works to establish the maximum speed. This can be up to a couple of weeks, please don't unplug/restart your modem. This will only restart the process.
Internal factors that may affect broadband speed
  • Computer set up: Your computer's operating system, available memory (RAM) and set up can impact on connection speed.
  • Modem types and connection: An Ethernet or wireless connection is generally faster than a USB connection.
  • Wiring in your house or office: The length and quality of wiring in your house or office. Speed will also be affected if there's a fault on your phone line. Find out how to check for a line fault.
  • Sharing your connection: If more than one person is using the same connection in your house or office speeds may slow down.
  • The applications on your computer: Some applications may use all the spare bandwidth or memory on your computer. Test this by turning off each application you're using and checking your speed again. Make sure you turn off any anti-virus software before you do this.
  • Viruses and spyware on your computer: Your computer may have been infected by viruses or other programs like Spyware.
How can I improve my speed?

Since there so many things that can affect connection speed there is no guarantee it can be improved. However if you are connected to ADSL or VDSL these things may help:

  • Use broadband filters: Check that all your jack points and devices using a phone line (such as a burglar alarm) have broadband filters installed. Empty jack points won't need a filter.
  • Get a splitter installed: This will separate your broadband connection from your phone line.
  • Don't use long phone extension cords: Long extension cords slow the broadband speed on your phone line. Where possible, plug your modem into the main phone jack point.
Other factors to consider to improve your connection speed:
  • Scan your computer for spyware, adware and viruses: We recommend you run regular scans of your computer with up-to-date anti-virus or anti-spyware software.
  • Use modern equipment and software: Use the most up-to-date computer and operating system possible.
  • Check your monthly usage: If you're on a capped data plan check to see whether your connection has been slowed to 64Kbps. Simply sign into My Vodafone and select check usage.
