Any thoughts on this?
Are you changing your providers?
I’m having issues with my speed too. I’m with MyRepublic and live in western Melbourne suburb.

LOVE MY REPUBLIC
LOVE TELSTRA
WHY THE CAPSLOCK?
yeah! I'd get negged for that and probably will for this too :(
i have telstra nbn its around 100-95mpbps all day everyday
I'm on 100Mbit Telstra HFC (non-NBN area) … I do give Telstra shit but the service is mostly very good at higher speeds than provisioned - I usually get 13-14MB/s down and faster than 1Mbit up (lol).
Of course it's galling that the cable is already there and I only have Telstra as a choice until someone presses a button on a router and suddenly Telstra is longer able to rape me on price. Malcom Turnbull right there taking money out of my wallet - please do not vote for this Telstra employee pretending to be a Prime Minister next election.
I have been hearing a lot of good things about Aussie … Internet? Or is it Broadband … anyhow, Aussie appears to have a lot of happy NBN customers.
I'm NBN HFC and September/October I was 94/38 all day everyday, since they changed their plans in November I'm now 4-7mbps down 38mbps up 7-11pm and 94down outside those hours. I'm with Telstra and lodged complaint with 7 different people yet all i keep getting is my Modem needs a Firmware upgrade even though i don't even have the telstra one plugged in but it is still the modems fault. I'm not happy with Telstra at the moment.

Why? Sign up with Aussie Broadband and these problems will go away. Why waste your time with a second rate service at a premium price? If you keep paying they will keep it up, keep putting in regular complaints to the TIO if you like throwing your money away so at least it costs them to respond.
It has been fixed and yes did go to TIO, I'm still under contract and will be looking to change once the contract has run out. I hate Telstra and can't wait to leave them.
It's like caps are either love or hate.
Optus providing me with this lightning quick 4mbps, I might go move to Ethiopia so games will download faster.
Cant complain with Telstra, Could only get adsl when i moved in and i asked telstra if they could do anything else and they organised people to come out and ran cable to my house all for free.
that's costly, lucky you
adsl was hell for me being 6km from the exchange.Glad to have gotten NBN though it's HFC, still get 24/5.5 mbps on a 25/5 mbps plan
This explains why all the OzBargain deals run out before I could get them… its because all the residents of Geelong are getting them before I can load the pages
Why can MyRepublic average be 33Mbps when the only plan they have is 100Mbps??
Their response was it’s because of upgrades of some lines.
Avoid TPG where possible. Absolutely terrible. Wifi randomly drops out, or refuses to connect, pages take ages to load and customer service is dreadful.
Customer service: my wifi is slow and unreliable, looks like you need a new modem! Ships the exact same modem, hooks it up and there is no difference in speed or reliability. that'll be $59 thanks. Thank you for choosing TPG.I'm with TPG, I think they are fantastic
The comments by both of you proves, that you cant trust internet based opinions
In actual fact
A simple answer to a simple question as posed by the OP, isnt possible
Exactly, each persons experience differs.
Tbh I haven't tried that many telcos but Telstra was good - the only problem was it was twice as much.
Might check out iiNet or some of the lesser known ones..
TPG has also been extremely good for my parents FTTP. Never looked back.

Said only one person ever.
Had to laugh. While reading this thread my internet cut out. I could not post or finish reading the post. I am with TPG. Connection drops out 3 to 4 times a day.
Hi Emli. Likewise with TPG and was having dropouts (not disconnects, just drop outs). I changed DNS servers and all good since.
I'm with TPG too and they are terrible. My wife works from home and even when there aren't as many users online it's still shocking.
Majority rules they are below average.
Were those tables designed to be read by ants?
Here's the data transposed.
City Download (Mbps) Upload (Mbps) Fastest ISP Speed Score Adelaide, SA 21.93 10.74 TPG 31.09 Brisbane, QLD 35.08 23.55 Optus 49.59 Canberra, ACT 32.47 14.12 iiNet 35.21 Darwin, NT 29.62 13.89 iiNet 34.34 Geelong, VIC 67.05 22.15 iiNet 94.26 Gold Coast, QLD 32.37 9.07 Optus 91.37 Hobart, TAS 27.25 11.74 Telstra 27.80 Melbourne, VIC 31.63 20.58 Spirit 44.29 Newcastle, NSW 33.97 14.74 MyRepublic 57.36 Thanks for that but as usual Perth gets left out :(
How did Hobart make it over Perth?
With TPG, was having dropouts until I changed DNS servers. Looking to move. NBN not yet built in my area. :/
How do you do that?
(Sorry, I didn't get a notification for your comment!)
It needs to be done in your modem/router. Best thing is to google it. It's generally not to complicated.
These numbers are basically irrelevant unless they are broken down into the different speed tiers. An average speed of 22mbps would be great for somebody on a 25/5 plan, but terrible for somebody on a 100/40 plan.
If "isp A" has a much larger portion of customers on 100/40 plans than "isp B" does, you'd expect that "isp A" would be getting much better average speeds on their speed tests, and it would be no indication of a superior service being provided.
Only managed to get around 2/3 Mbps DL and less than 1 Mbps UL with TPG ADSL2+ last few years absolute rubbish ($70 a month). Funny thing tho is that somehow Netflix/Stan worked quite well? Recently after the TPG contract ended (btw found out that we still had to give them 30 days notice so got charged another $70 for bugger all) jumped ship to Optus home wireless broadband (comes to $60 a month after the free 3 months promo). Speed ain't too bad (around 12 Mbps DL and 1 Mbps UL) but the 200GB limit is a tough ask. Couple of hours of Netflix and a bit of Youtube and that's pretty much 10GB done. Also when someone else is on Netflix/Stan the whole network comes to a halt. NBN hurry up!
FTTP iinet here. No problems.
The data isn't really great, the top ones are the companies that have their own existing cable or fibre networks, surely they should be the top three .
AVOID BUZZTELCO.
