Was previously on optus cable - no problems. Had NBN for almost a month now, on the 100mb plan, and have done a speed test every day, as I'm not fully trusting of its 'capabilities'
Almost every test (at various times of the day) I get speeds of 80 - 90, but twice (on Saturday mornings) the spped clocked in at 19 and 31.
It all depends on how many people are using the line at the same time.
Fingers crossed the speeds stay high.
What you are reading is the NBN network is very reliable, however, some ISPs service falls somewhat short.Quote:

And the slowness (which I also have been getting during peak times), as previously discussed, is because the ISP has not purchased enough bandwidth from NBNCo.Quote:

Pretty happy with my FTTH NBN speeds & reliability. And it doesn't leak oil...
What I am reading, and finding, is that the NBN satellite network has so far been very unreliable. I have to admit it has been better the last few months, but it has yet to reach the reliability of the interim satellite system, and certainly after the experience of the last eighteen months it will take a long time to regain any confidence. And with very limited peak time data quantities, and the off peak limited to 2300-0700, anyone wanting to make use of off peak data is finding that this off peak period is interrupted usually once or twice a week for 'maintenance'. My inbox currently has six notices of interruption over the next two weeks (and there was one last night).Quote:

The roof installation was very shoddy, as was several others in the area. I fixed mine myself, but some neighbors are having real problems getting repairs. 3hrs on the phone, ISP blaming NBN, NBN blaming ISP, no reply to messages left, etc.
Installer also refused to remove the interim dish, even though the application form said he would.
The service itself has been reliable, mostly running at 20/3, and I don't use anywhere near the 10Gb
No other alternatives available here.

Same here - and I have repeatedly told NBN about this as well as the RSP. RSP says it is nothing to do with them, NBN just ignores me. I told them a few days ago that if they did not do something about it, I would get the job done myself at their expense, including the cost of carrying it to the tip.Quote:

The story I was fed by the installer was that they are doing return trips to collect them. (yeh sure)[bighmmm]
I think they just want to do the max installs possible, no profit in disposing the old dishes.

Ours continues to drop out most days, sometimes more than once. Optus makes promises, but nothing changes.
If you really want FTTP, there is an upgrade path.

But, slowness may be due to congestion so an upgrade would not solve the problem.

Or you may just be on the wrong plan for your needs.

ISPs (RSPs) know drop outs occur. There are many things that cause this which are usually downstream from the NBN network.

Wireless networks in the home usually have a slower data transfer rate than a wired network.

And speed to your device will slow the more devices you have on your network.
