    Well over the last 2 days out internet is real slow ADSL 2, seems all this NBN work in other neighboring areas is causing the slow speed bumps . now we find out the Ranges are too hard to work in and we have to wait another 2 years to get it. I don't particularly need NBN alleged speeds just would like the speed on the ADSL 2 I am paying for.

    Disclaimer: I used to with for the big T. On a service issue after I left I got a letter from them saying they tried to contact me but no answer. Rang them and asked what nr they jad recorded. It was the old 7 digit nr after they had changed to 8 digits. The company didn't update its own systems with the new additional digit. Pointed this out and got silence and then an ahhhh... yeah... So nothing a telco does or doesn't do surprises me at all.
    Got a letter saying nbn available. Then no its not; inspection required and will occur sometime between April and September. Then a letter last week saying less than 12 mths to change.

    One towns answer to NBN problems.

    Lousy NBN prompts Sydney community to crowdfund its own internet
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    And a few hours later the internet is back on but the phone connected to that line no longer works. Grrr. Fortunately mobile reception here is adequate.
    Our issues have been dragging on for a month now,slow speed,can't get on,one phone line was disconnected for three weeks,then suddenly it worked.
    And we have paid for the highest speed.

    Apparently they are compensating some, for issues,looks like we will be going down that road.

    It has all been a PITA.

    luckily our old system still works for the moment.

    well we just got a free speed update from Telstra.

    seems to be pretty good these days, in fact I can't complain at all.

    We just received a letter from the NBN saying ther want to bo testing & maintenance on our NBN,on the 10th of August & if we have any objections we have to do it 20 business days before the date. There are two problems with that , 1st we don't have the NBN 2nd there are only 15 business days left before the due work date so I can not object if I wanted to.

    I've been on NBN long enough for internode to cough up $150.00 for signing me up for a plan that they were never going to deliver. Having said that they usually deliver 50MB/s on tests and streaming mostly works although it is annoying on the occasions that Netflix does buffer.
    All in all it kinda works OK and is not helped by the twisted pair in the lead sheath that is between us and the node.

    Me too. I just used your link for my ADSL. Mine is supercharged this morning zooming along at a dazzling 5.0. It is normally low 4s.

    Had issues with the system I use until yesterday. A nice lady from Telstra called Elsie sorted it out very patiently over the phone. Top marks!

    Was directed to go to speedtest.telstra.com............. down was 8.8 MB/S, up 2.6.

    She said that was good, but the computer was slow. So she gave me some instructions............

    After doing a reset the computer was loading blazingly fast and still is.

    The thing is I'm using an iPhone 4s on 3G with the most up to date OS, running the Mac on wifi hotspot. Works for me. The phone needed the reset.

    4G must be pretty good then.

    I will never have NBN!
