After a chat with a friend (and former colleague of mine) I decided to trust my telco (A1 Telekom) to upgrade to a higher speed, though I only got 12 Mpbs down on my 16Mbps ADSL line because of the age-old copper lines.
I called them, they checked the line and told me that they could guarantee 92Mbps if I go for the 100Mbps option (VDSL).
So I did. Got a new modem (TG 588v), plugged it in and interestingly already for 14Mbps though I only had 12 with the old modem (same line, still ADSL). Then a couple of days later (as announced) they changed my line on the switch/exchange and now I'm running almost 100 down (and 20 up).
With two kids in the house, netflix, two tablets and four smart phones... it was overdue to say the least.
So finally I can work while everyone else is watching Netflix (or the other way round).
Just two weeks after I upgraded my DSL line to 100/20 Mbps, my employer was nice enough to move our mobiles to a new contract where we finally have LTE/4G included.
