I was watching YouTube when the Internet went off and the modem went red. By the time I wandered up the street and chatted to the guys connecting it, wandered back, connected the new Modem and switched it on, the NBN was on.
So, how does it go I hear you ask? The test below shows it - this is on the wireless as well, I've yet to check it on the Ethernet running to my Sons computer.
The connection is a 100/40 and to say I'm happy with 89/38 is an understatement... :). I was hoping for around 30 down. Now I am one of the first to be connected to this node, but they said there's only 45 homes max that will be connected to this one - we are near a park, so not surrounded by houses and the way the estate was put in, the next one down will see much more traffic, so we have got lucky I think.
Nice! I wish we could get that sort of speed! Not that i really have anything I'd use it for... :)
Yeah, I have no real use for it either, but the speed boost was included in the package and after hearing all the doom and gloom about slow connections, I opted for the fastest available as I was sure I would be lucky to get 20 down. :D
So we now have double the data (1000 gig) at nearly 8 times the speed for the same money as before. Wonder how long the 1000 gig will last...? :angel:
What it will help me with is uploading videos - that was painfully slow before, so looking forward to seeing how that goes.
How's life in the fast lane Gav after getting that crappy FTTN hooked up?;)Quote:

Joys of strangling the fibre by sticking copper on the end?Quote:

Wireless onto the home network..
To be fair. We are the only one on that node at this stage!

Yep, similar speeds to what I got first up and most days. Friday and Saturday nights are a bit slower and I expect things to slow down as more connections are made to the node, but if I end up with a quarter of what I've got now, it will still be fine.Quote:
