Peak times suck around here too... this is on the wifi while watching Netflix.

Assuming you get FTTC (as mentioned earlier) and you select a RSP that purchases appropriate bandwidth for its subscribers(CVC), you will achieve near the maximum speed allowable for the plan you have purchased (12/1, 25/5, 50/20, 100/40 Mbps).

Apparently the cockatoos are happy with the NBN.

NBN brilliance! 6 months to get an NBN technician to come and all they do is restore the problem to 15Mbps.

Apparently its a waterlogged ancient copper line only 600 metres away, but it may take another 3 months to fix!!

We are so far ahead of the curve in this country!! woo hoo!!

How come you're not going NBN? I thought everyone was going to be on it.

I think naked is ADSL2 without a phone so the charges are reduced. We only use the phone for receiving Indians trying to sell us NBN or electricity or whatever else they have.

I cant get NBN as I am around 800 metres from the nearest node , apparently the length of copper stops it working.

I am just not sure what will happen when the houses near the Node get switched over ? and the old connection pillar thing disconnected , I suppose I will just be cut off ?

Well, I got a completely unexpected email from Telstra yesterday - I'm sure you all know Telstra are offering money back on services that can't supply what the customer is paying for or free cancellation of their contracts.

Most of you may also know that I'm one of the lucky ones with NBN and have a very good service that regularly is in the 90's. Imagine my surprise when I was yesterday notified that I was entitled to a refund as my line can't supply the 100/40 I'm paying for - the email (below) shows what I can get...

So, I can only get 99.923Mbps download instead of 100! I'm outraged!!!

It then goes on to tell me how to go about exercising the different options should I want to. I'll be one of the ones that leaves mine well alone - I'm not changing it, I'm happy with it. I just wish everyone could get a service as good as this, the whole thing is a complete cluster****

Sssh, they're only trying to downgrade your service so they can sell the extra bandwidth to the other customers in your area...

How much do you need a month? SkyMuster plans aren't huge, but I'll bet they are faster than yours. Plug your address into the search box and see.
