As far as I'm aware we don't have any specific faults for VDSL, What part of Auckland are you in?I hate asking this but have you tried the basic stuff like resetting your router? If you have clothed broadband do you have dialtone? Call 0800 22 55 98 for broadband support.

Good news. 99% of the time, the answer to the question "is [insert ISP name here] down" is "no, it's just your connection that's down".

Long story short I'm sick as fuck, real bad food poisoning. My mrs had cleaned around the modem and plugged the ethernet into the WAN port. I didnt notice.

All good, gave me something to do. Working in network ops is great but if there's nothing going down there's nothing to do haha
