We might get nbn out here by 2050, even though fibre runs past the house we will be getting wireless. Thanks liberals. Currently getting 1mb/s on adsl.

Possibly, I think it has more to do with the fact that it is a business service.

We're on fixed wireless and are pretty happy. We managed to get changed over from satellite. Our download speeds are always 45-50 and uploads around the 15-20 mark. |

NBN is game of speed to the telcos, if your getting the best speed and are happy then there isn’t any need to upgrade. It’s done on purpose, remember ADSL, ADSL 2, ADSL2 +. If you want faster you have to pay for it but they all know that they can’t deliver the maximum that they are selling you, so you have to upgrade. Take me for example, I pay for the 100Mbps plan but I only get 23 and during the so called “Netflix Hours” it drops off to 10. When they have the ability to give me 500Mbps, in reality I’ll get 125 and during peak times I’ll get 50 but I’ll have to upgrade and pay for speed that I already should be getting now on the current plan I pay for. I remember years ago there was an Intel core chip used in several CPUs in computers, they all had the ability to produce the top CPU speed but they were internally throttled at different levels so that if you wanted faster then you had to pay for the next one up which had different throttling. It’s all about money and marketing and the NBN is no different.

However, your ISP can pay to have enough CVC (enough data on the back end) to keep you at 23 all day every day. By the sounds of it, they aren't buying enough data to avoid congestion at peak times.

You are correct there isn’t anything they can do now. My points is, when they have developed the technology to give me more I will have to purchase a higher plan to more than likely get speeds I should already be getting now (100). What they should be doing is saying “we’ve now got the technology to give you what we promised you on your current plan so here you go, enjoy” but no, I’ll have to pay for it.

In the end, most of the FTTN connections will need to be replaced due to aging copper and inadequate provisioning with a fibre solution.

So is there any benefit in putting a new line from the street to the house?
I ask this as I know that the line out the front has been cut and repair 3 times in the last 2 years. They are just starting NBN rollout in my town, and it will be 2 years before it goes on. |

What speed were you getting when you were on a 25Mb plan? (I assume you must have tried that, because there doesn't seem to be any logic in sticking with a 100Mb plan)

No because the 100Mb plan has the more data and there will more than likely be some sort of algorithm applied where if I went to 25 I’d actually only get 12. Just like when I was on ADSL, 1.5 Mb actually gave me 512Kbs, switched to 3Mb plan and got 1.5Mb, switched up again to 20Mb and got 5Mb. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

NTF6, you will never get an actual throughput of say 25mbs due to the overheads in the protocol used to transmit data. Google ethernet overheads if your interested. Having said that, the overheads are not anywhere near the figures you quoted so doesn't explain your issue totally. |

I’d also like to know this because the last time the Telstra bloke got in the pit right at the bottom of my driveway he said the cables had so much water and corrosion on them but all he did was replace a few joints and no body knows that there is a second pit under my second paved driveway that has never been opened since I’ve lived here and that’s 20 Years. I only found it because it had started to sink and when I pulled up the pavers there was the Telstra pit.

Not sure if it's been explained in this topic but multiple things affect your speed on NBN. Wholesalers such as Optus on-sell internet bandwidth for a given area to RSP's (who we buy internet access from). If those RSP's don't but enough bandwidth for an area, you'll get slow internet links regardless of the speed you purchase or the technology (FTTN, FTTP) and this appears to be a common issue with the NBN rollout, especially with keenly priced plans. |

Out side the boundary it is only 100mm below the surface and no conduit. Straight in the dirt. Doesn't look too good for NBN upgrade. |

Today is the first time since connecting to the NBN that we had a crap day. Very, VERY slow to load pages or nothing at all.

"A Very Fast Speed Boost is available for an additional $20 per month on the nbn network or a Super Fast Speed Boost for an additional $20 per month for Cable or $30 per month on the nbn network (except on nbn Fixed Wireless). Your bill will show an additional charge each month for your speed upgrade until you cancel it." Obviously the ability to throttle or boost speeds is very real, I'll go back to my original statement and that is that "NBN is game of speed to the telcos" driven by a price that you have to pay if you want faster speeds.

Their plans are now based around data volumes. Even when I log into my Telstra account, the details of my original NBN contract have changed to just a "medium plan" no mention of the 100Mbps I signed up for. And today this, well well: http://www.news.com.au/technology/on...574ac25650fe2a

In reality I suspect they still have the speed tiers: standard - peak 15mbps/off-peak 22mbps (25mbps originally) boost 1 - 30/45 (50mbps) boost 2 - 60/90 (100mbps) |

I'll use myself as an example. During the provisioning process for the NBN connection, the various software tests suggested that the speed I'd get was somewhere between 60 and 100 Mbps download, with a 20-40 upload. This was based on the logical path the line took to the pillar and NBN cabinet. As it turns out, Telstra ran the line via Apollo Bay and as such, the max speed is 41Mbps down, 11 up. I was fortunate enough that someone at Internode had sense enough to check the line length before I committed to the service. As such, I'm paying for a 50/20 speed service. There is nothing anyone can do to improve that short of re-routing the line via the logical shortest path (which other services are routed along).
