Finally got my NBN (The FTTN version) today

Cant believe the speed I am getting compare to my tests done on ADSL yesterday

Now is downloading at 27Mbs compared to 4Mbs yesterday

May not be as good as FTTP but is brilliant compared to my ADSL

What speeds do you other guys get on NBN?





Roughly 25/5


mmmm interesting so I am doing quite well with U/L about half D/L

Thanks gregg




I get 12/0.8 on adsl2, I can't see me getting excited about the cost to us for Libs NBN just to double that. Sure the increase would be nice until you remember what it has cost the nation.

We will not get FTTN, we get FTTCurb(flood area, not good for nodes), so our copper run out will be about 10 metres. Why bother going from fibre to copper in that situation? The "device" to turn fibre to copper could be in our house(FTTP) with another 10m of fibre and then I could choose to pay for 100 Mb or Gbit.

Don't let the new speed distract from what the country has paid for this pile of crap that was promised to be finished in 2016.


But you'll never have ABC Iview pause when watching Antiques Roadshow... W00t.


I don't do TV Gordy and the wife still watches the box even though she has a perfectly good PC that never gets used. My son uses netflix.



I thought I'd watch Hard Quiz tonight via IVIEW  on the TV which is connected directly to the router.  Iview took 5 mins to load then paused a minute in.

Piece of crap.

In what way do you see the difference from yesterday and today.  What happens?


Read the first post!

I checked the speed yesterday both download and upload speed!

Speed after moving to NBN is about 6 times faster (on the basic NBN )

ie not the all bells and whistles one that the purists rave about!

Very Happy!

Try checking yours on here Aussie

https://speedtest.telstra.com/




For example.....I seem to get very quick response here at OzPol.  Did that alter with NBN?


Yes everything loads much quicker.

I am actually waiting to see a video on facebook as they were unwatchable before, of course Murphys law is applying at the moment (none to be seen).

I get 30MB/s on Optus Cable which I can pay more to go to 100GB

NBN is yet to arrive and I am NBN ready but not sure I will bother.
I do a lot of travel and I use Mobile BB all the time. The price is getting cheaper

See:

https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-mobile-prepaid-voucher-code-large-30-days-16g...

I got 23 GB on my mobile and the same on my tables at about $50 all up, up in Cairns using it right now Cairns seems to have excellent mobile coverage.

I have heard and read of many NBN issues but I think its more to do with a poor rollout then the actual technology but I will give it a miss as 5G is coming !

ADLS+ relies on copper and fails often when in rains (trenches fill up) interesting comment re flood zones and NBN Optus Cable is up high on poles.

I can not see a reason for me to need more then 30 MB/Sec download or a high upload rate. Prefer the idea of 5G given the travel I do but I am more that happy with my Kogan (telstra) 4G service and its a reasonable price works where I have been !

I think the NBN will become partially obsolete in the future it was a big waste of public money.

Optus Cable: - Cant say I have heard of it, actually it sounds similar to NBN FTTP, I just checked only Optus NBN FTTN available in my area, anyway very Interesting,

so you have optic fibre right to your house.

http://www.optus.com.au/shop/broadband/home-broadband/network/cable



Optus cable infrastructure
The Optus Cable network passes over 1 million homes in areas of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

If you’ve been in those areas you might recognise the network infrastructure as a thick black cable hanging a few metres below the street power cables.

When you get Optus cable we run a connection from this black cable to the outside of your home.

Optus Cable is our premium high-speed broadband network. It’s a combination of optical fibre and coaxial cables that run from the street to the premises.

With speeds three times faster than ADSL, it's how we deliver broadband internet, telephony and Optus TV with Fetch.


HOW DOES CABLE WORK?

Cable networks work by grouping users into areas known as "nodes". Neighbourhood nodes are connected to the internet via high-speed optic fibre cables, and users are connected to the node via coaxial cable.

You might hear the Optus Cable Network sometimes referred to as Hybrid Fibre Coaxial or the ‘HFC’. The international standard that is used to deliver internet over the HFC network is known as DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification). Optus currently uses DOCSIS v 3.0.[i]

Remember when Optus and Fox (Telstra) both launched pay tv in the late 90s?

They were both running fiber down the street, and sometimes they'd both tun up to the same street on the same day.

And not Optus are kicking people off their Cable network... Sheeeeet

Yes we actually have fibre on the pole at the back of our house, originally installed by an ACT Government company many years ago  called Transact. It has since been sold to Iinet who offer something called VDSL2 which sounds like an  NBN alternative.

I actually heard some rumours about the ABC wanting to revamp Iview it is a bit dated compared to the commercial guys. Have not seen an RFT for it yet. I doubt they would have the ability to develop a system with Netflix capability.

Where my wife works they set up a premium high end dedicated fibre BB Business grade costs about $500 a month + installation. This has always been available for ages  and yes a business often requires a high capacity dedicated connection but does a house need a low end NBN connection that is not mobile and costs about the same. A higher speed NBN for the home will cost big $$$ and what do you need it for other than bragging rights !

Its been around for ages have you not noticed the low hanging cable on your power polls ?

http://www.optus.com.au/shop/broadband/home-broadband/plans/legacy-hfc

Its all coax and can get speeds up to 100 mb/s
