The NBN is all about just how much you are prepared to pay. You want very fast $100 a month. Average $60 a month. Roll Eyes

Whatever, it is a rip off and the NBN will never be paid off before something newer and faster comes along. Grin

I pay about $130 per month (at most) on home, phone and internet. The internet speeds I have are quite good. When I upgraded the RAM on my computer in March, the internet experience was excellent. Parting with $80 a month on my internet is quite okay by me. However, I hope I get a better deal in the future for my money.

Yay, economics is about a price point: so what is next in this interesting saga I wonder?

Non NBN, telstra cable - 100 mbits/s down, only 1.5 up. And peak time 89 mbits down - live on a street 1/2 full of retirees.

I am holding on to the cable as long as I can.

The upload is the business application: of course download helps but what hinders is the upload for commercial proclivity!

My point is that I would rather pay $80 a month on high speed NBN rather than 128kbps dialup at $30/month. People complain too much about something that was not available 10 years ago at decent prices.

Well I have been supposedly connected to the NBN since the 24th April ...... the Telstra Internet speed tests say I'm getting 46 down & 17 up .....

yet for the past fortnight I have been getting calls from Telstra NBN people saying my order for transition fully to the NBN hasn't progressed & they need more information from me ....

I was suspicious because the calls were all around 6 pm to 7.30 pm .... most from the same bloke.

I told him that I had a connection date(24th April) & that appeared to have gone ahead & told him my so called speed tests results.

I got transferred to some Tech people & had to go through the same questions ... in the end I was getting cranky & asked when would the order transaction be finalised .... as it still shows I have ADSL on my Telstra account.

At the end of the conversation they said it was all sorted.

All foreigners who were hard to understand & had trouble understanding me.

Since that time I have had 3 more calls(4 in total plus more I received & wouldn't answer because I didn't recognise the number) from the same bloke Miguel ... who started each conversation with the same questions regarding the same issue of my order/transition to NBN not proceeding until they had some more information from me.

By this time I'd had enough & asked what the hell was going on as this was supposed to be sorted & that I'd been through the same rigamarole at least 3 times already .... he hung up.

So I became more suspicious. Got a call next day from a different bloke ... harder to understand ... same story.

Went through the whole exercise again & they say it will be progressed.

FFARGSAKE these incompetent bastards are doing my head in & I don't know whether I have fully transitioned to the NBN or not .... 4 weeks down the track.

And tonight my computer is running as slow as ... yet the speeds tests say I'm flying at 46 Dwn & 17 up. Roll Eyes

If your adsl bill is less than what you would pay for NBN, ignore them and enjoy the speed. I doubt the speed tests are lying to you. Their stuff up.
