Another possibility is Optus may simply have signed up too many customers in our area for the amount of capacity it has bought from NBN. The NBN boss said many telcos have done this.
I did on my ADSL2 connection and ot these results from 3 different testers, what are you getting on the NBN? Different readings from different test servers.

Just got 10.8 download and 0.8 upload, but it varies. It's the continual drop-outs which are the annoyance. Never happened with ADSL.
The Navigator is seriously annoyed and is demanding Optus stop charging until it can provide a reliable service. That won't happen, of course, but no reason not to complain.
Was that on NBN? if it was and I'm getting 12 on ADSL2 then where's the improvement?Quote:

With NBN you get what you pay for - the 12 down plan is the cheapest so yes, it will be slower than a goodbye ADSL2+ connection.Quote:

If you're happy to pay, you'll get much faster than ADSL.

Both these tests were done while SWMBO is watching Netflix and No 1 son is online gaming. NBN is FTTN and we have about 50 metres of copper from the node to the router.
Haven't had an issue with then NBN, we love it here. :)
Sick of meaningless and evasive NBN spruiking? So is the ACCC NBN: Sick of meaningless and evasive broadband spruiking? So is the ACCC - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) - via @abcnews
NBN comes through in about 12 months - I might not switch as IINet offers VDSL2 in Canberra using the old Transact Cable Network - speeds and costs are similar to NBN and from what I have read about the NBN, the VDSL2 system might be better.
I need to investigate further but at least it would seem I have options.

Sorry, but ADSL will be shut down.
