          @R4:
          I know you’re trolling, but for anyone too forgetful, know that Rudd didn’t want to build NBN. Newly elected Labor government tendered for commercial submissions and all replies (including Telstra’s) were untenable.
          NBN was Labor’s FU to Telstra, asbestos in pits was Telstra’s FU to Labor and MTM was Liberal’s most audacious ever FU to Australians.

          5G is great when you're testing it in a lab with no interference and congestion. In the real world it will suffer like all wireless when it's actually used.

          The current NBN FTTP hardware could deliver 1gbit services right now, and if upgraded to NG-PON2, 10gbit services - and could actually deliver that consistently in the real world.

      do "most places" have the same price with no yearly or 24 month contract? it's $10 more per month but aussie has typical evening speed of 90mbps, TPG @ 78mbps.

      but aussie have a better network and they dont oversubscribe which is good for those already on it, bad for those who want to get on it.

          @billy_bob:

          You can't really make speed comparisons without knowing what exchange, what network type (FTTP/FTTN/Cable), etc. For reference, I max out my connection at peak times with Telecube 100/40 FTTP

          Especially with FTTN the exact location of your home matters given it's dependent on the quality of copper wiring and distance from the exchange.

        • billy_bob on 31/05/2018 - 19:59

          @scix: I have FTTP and was previously with Exetel on 25/5 plan, and always got the quoted speeds, even at peak evening times.

      My telecube speeds were fine but the international streaming sucked even though I was on the 100Mbps plan, now I pay for 25-50Mbps with ABB and it gives better results.
      Telecube would have a dropout every week whether it's a few minutes or days a month, but ABB I've had 1 dropout in 2 months for an upgrade.

      The custom plan sliders are cool too, you can pick the lowest GB plan… And if you run out just keep adding 50gb for $1-2 and it's instant too.

      Think the cheapest plan is $50 though… So it depends on your circumstances and needs.

    • NoHorny on 01/06/2018 - 07:49

      Well, Telecube just sent me an email announcing that they are changing their price structure and will basically be forcing me to either pay the new price or force me to change to the lower speed tier to maintain the current price…. Definitely moving away from Telecube 100/40 plan. I hardly got the speed more that 21mbps on an average!
