    NBN speed issues - problem discovered

    So, the NBN announced today that it would work much better if we all stopped using it... NBN speed issues - problem discovered

    NBN chief blames online 'gamers predominantly' for fixed wireless congestion - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Can they become a bigger joke...?

    I’ll close ‘words with friends’ to see if that frees up some bandwidth for my poor brothers on fixed wireless. NBN speed issues - problem discoveredNBN speed issues - problem discoveredNBN speed issues - problem discovered

    Roads would also be much quieter if people stayed home.

    My wife used to be a school teacher. At a staff meeting she suggested that teaching would be much easier if the kids didn't attend but got shot down in flames by one of the other teachers so the idea went no further.

    I wish they would.

    The congestion and volume of traffic on the roads around here is absolutely ridiculous.

    NBN,our office is changing over to it shortly,dunno if it was a good move or not.

    Our place in the Blue Mountains currently has ADSL, which works ok, and the area is scheduled to get NBN fixed wireless in 2020.
    The silly part is that we have a Telstra fibre-optic cable running through our property.
    Sigh!

    I would have ADSL back if that were possible. It was totally reliable, but our NBN has frequent drop-outs.

    Truth be known, it ain't online gaming that's the problem. Too few users.
    How many people do you think have Netflix?
