Fibre To The Node Is Gettin Closer...

[Lord Chance]

All I can get is 25mbps. And thats on a copper line only six years old. My last place had a 20 year old line and I was getting 50mpbs. The aussie network stinks.

Come to America Mate. I will show the very underside of that toilet. I pay very will for 6 up and 1.5 down , which I never get near, and they tell me they are doing me a great service.

I just tried another server in Brisbane, better ping if you are into that stuff.

I can just imagine that speed coming to a screeching halt when it comes out of the node on to the 400 metres of copper line to my place.

I just tested my wifi speed on the Chromebook which has MIMO upto2x faster wifi.

Which aint bad, as I am streaming the max 128k mp3 from Radio Caroline at the same time.

And I'm stuck on 25mbps with lousy fibre to the nose

Nice!

Nicerer!

We will only be able to dream of speeds like that in Australia, the federal government have no plans to upgrade what is in their eyes, cutting edge technology.

Not sure about the TurtleMan but I can tell you how fake my numbers are. I'm with AT&T and my real numbers are below. I see what you are getting and feel envious Mate. I pay $60 USD for the pleasure.

I'm supposed to be getting gigabit speeds for my $114 a month

I'll trade you Mate. I pay about $10 a meg and you pay about $.40? I get 170Gb data allowance. How about you?

AT&T, If you are listening. You SUCK!

I thought you had got onto a better plan with that downtime you had, those figures are horrendous. I had similar speed when my phone line got damaged by a linesman in the service pit when I was on ADSL2+.

Bloody hell, that's bad...

I am on 50 Mbps download and 20 Mbps upload, unlimited data, voip home phone, and a Fetch TV box for $80.00 a month plan with Optus.

I have been with Optus for nearly 15 years, they suck at times as well.

Sounds like a good plan to me Arctos. My phone and internet service is thru AT&T and doesn't include TV. I pay $120 a month. They can do it like that because they are the only game in town. I live in a little back water town of about 6000 residence.

The Fetch box is a PVR so you can run the free to air tv through it to record the adverts, it has 30 free movies a month, plus you can pay for the latest movies and tv series as an extra. Various channels at a price as well.

The box is the cupboard as we do not use it any more, as we have Netflix built into the tv's now.
