        Yes it appears that they have gimped the upload to work around the limitations of HFC. Still, unless you need 400 Mbit uploads, its the better option than spending $429 a month.

    • ChillBro on 02/05/2020 - 11:00

      Can hfc even support those kinds of speeds?

      • whooah1979 on 02/05/2020 - 11:02

        HFC may support 10Gbps.

      Can you imagine how rich we'd be if we actually taxed these mining companies appropriately and not gave them so many loopholes?

      Other than G.Rinehart getting a few less billion per year (but still easily being a billionaire), the entire country would benefit immensely!

    I'll stick to Telstra air, it's free unlimited data with $49.95 28 gig data for mobile.

  • zaprct on 02/05/2020 - 05:31

    I get that this post is taking the piss at the cost of a gigabit connection but business plans are always more expensive for a reason. They offer symmetrical speeds (or in nbns case, high upload but not quite symmetrical for some reason) and better contention ratios so you’re more likely to get the speed you’re advertised instead of it being an ‘up to’. Compare this to existing business plans from TPG/AAPT and Telstra which have been operating on their own fibre networks and these are competitive alternatives on the nbn network to take market share off them

    Consumer 250/25 and 1000/50 plans are coming out in the next three weeks, confirmed on Whirlpool by an AussieBB rep. Not saying they’ll be cheap compared to other countries but they won’t be priced like business plans, let’s wait and see how badly we get screwed for a gigabit connection with a measly 50m upload :)

      • Clear on 02/05/2020 - 20:34

        They're just a Tasmanet reseller though and speeds can be fairly inconsistent. Their gigabit plans often under perform in compared to a 100mbps plan from Telstra. Especially in peak.

  • badonde on 02/05/2020 - 08:15

    Just had a thought, do you think prices for NBN up to gigabit will be kept artificially high for years to come, because making it more affordable will widen the perceived gap between the haves (FTTP) and the have nots (FTTC etc)?

    • checkingthisout on 02/05/2020 - 08:43

      NBN lowered the upload speed for residential 1000/50Mbps because their substandard HFC network won’t handle it. It might not even handle 500/25Mbps.

      And yes to your comments. NBN is already over pricing and limiting the upload speeds so connections are able to sell their new residential plans to the HFC network. NBN is also providing a very small amount of CVC making the pricing to get a non congested connection. Extremely expensive.

      If it was FTTP everyone would be able to access any plan they wanted to pay for. Ala NZ UFB.

      • Nuggets on 02/05/2020 - 08:46

        The worst part is, the NBN is full of sh*t every step of the way and they trot out the same lines every time you get a hold of any of their staff. That this is the best way, Australia is a big country, FTTP is goldplating, etc. What a blight on this country.

        • checkingthisout on 02/05/2020 - 08:48

          FTTP is very doable. Just like there is no budget for social services until the money directly effects business and then wow we found $200,000,000,000. Ultra fast internet is the absolute basic of a functioning business in 2020+. So it’s FTTP or nothing to me. Any other measure is a half measure.

            +1

            @checkingthisout: Totally agreed. I can't even imagine living in a FTTN area and yet that's the lot of millions in this country. What's the upgrade path? How many decades will they have to wait before they get access to even 100 Mbps speeds? And heavens forbid you even talk about upload speeds..

            How many more billions will it cost?

            Even HFC is sub par technology. It just won't be able to cope decades into the future.

            Australia once again couldn't have some vision and plan for the future.

            edit: or, consider the greenfields area being given FTTN. In 2017. Fresh copper going into the ground.

            • scuderiarmani on 02/05/2020 - 09:02

              @Nuggets: Plenty of FTTN users can get 100 or near enough to it. I myself originally connected at 92 or so 700m out.

              Many are just signing up for the lower plans because NBN is 2 to 3 times the price of ADSL which many Australian families couldn't afford. The pricing is the huge issue.

              Private sector has flagged investment, recently Vodafone/TPG suggested too.

              • checkingthisout on 02/05/2020 - 09:43

                @scuderiarmani: I’ve had about 6 FTTN connections across 3 state’s. None hit 100Mbps including my current line. Which did once but then there was a line issue and it sits somewhere in 80-90Mbps now. So we use 50Mbps.

                Then there’s the countless people I have setup on NBN connections and none of them hit 100Mbps either. In the states of QLD, WA, TAS and VIC.

                So “plenty” is not correct. I’ve had HFC and FTTC not hit it either. We only ever use Aussie or Launtel.

                The only lines I’ve had the line be successful on each time was FTTP but I’ve only helped setup a few of them. As there is not many FTTP connections.

                  You won't pay $10/month for 90% boost in speed?

                @scuderiarmani: 2 to 3 times the price? Doubtful.

                Line rental was $25 minimum, and I don't recall any plans less than $25/month for any meaningful amount of data.

                  @klaw81: $90 is the NBN norm with Telstra as a guide… Plenty of ADSL plans were under half.

                NBN is 2 to 3 times the price of ADSL

                I regularly see comments like this - what pricing were you getting?

                For me, the phone line cost was $25-30/month, and the ADSL provider charged $30 on top of that. Now unlimited 25Mbps NBN is available at about $55/month, same price for faster speed than ADSL2 (I was getting 6Mbps at 3km from the exchange).

                What price were you getting for phone line+ADSL?

                • scuderiarmani on 02/05/2020 - 21:11

                  @Russ: I'm just going on those budget plans I've seen. I never actually had ADSL 2. I was on wireless services and ADSL 1.5 originally.

                  I recall many entry plans for like $30 odd.

                  I'm not factoring in phone plans as they aren't exactly the norm these days.

                  • Russ on 03/05/2020 - 09:49

                    @scuderiarmani: My point is that you couldn't get ADSL2 without the phone line, so it really has to be factored in.

                    When you add phone line rental, and compare similar speeds, NBN is the same price or cheaper than ADSL2 used to be.

                    I recently transferred across, and I saved money in the process. Went from 6MBps ADSL2 at ($30+$30) to unlimited 12MBps NBN at $45/month. And I have a 0$/month VOIP phone plan, courtesy of MyNetFone.

                    If I had picked a 100MBps NBN plan, then yes, they are more expensive than ADSL plus phone used to be - about 1.5 times the price. But as ADSL2 had a maximum speed of 24MBps, that's not comparing similar products.

                    • scuderiarmani on 03/05/2020 - 10:05

                      @Russ: Fair enough, happy to be corrected.

                      I have heard the price being a regular issue for most, hence discussions to find a way for low income earners to get cheaper access to NBN.

                      There were alternatives to needing phone lines, like wireless and naked options too.

                      @Russ: Do you have a link to the 0$/month MyNetFone plan I am interested in signing up?

                      • Russ on 17/05/2020 - 18:10

                        @Springfield: Sorry for the delay replying, I haven't signed in for a week, so I didn't see your question.

                        It's the MyNetFone "Whirlpool Saver" plan, for members and readers of the Whirlpool online forum. There's no membership check, anyone can sign up. There is a joining fee of $9.95 per phone line, and you'll have to pre-pay at least $10 so you have credit to make calls.

                        The $0/month fee has a caveat: by default, it doesn't have a DID (a conventional phone number) for other people to call you. This means three things:
                        - Your outgoing calls will say "unlisted number" as the caller ID;
                        - Other MyNetFone customers can call you by dialing your MyNetFone customer ID (an eight-digit number starting with 09)
                        - People who aren't MyNetFone customers can also call you, but it's a two-stage process, similar to calling a business and then dialling the extension you want. Your eight-digit MyNetFone account number is the "extension number".

                        If you want to have a DID, you can pay for one, the fee is $15/year.

                        Details of the plan are here:
                        https://www.mynetfone.com.au/whirlpool/VoIP/Plans

                        To get the plan, you need to have VOIP hardware. Some modems can do VOIP (you plug your existing phone into them), or you can buy a separate VOIP adaptor (called an ATA) to plug your phone into, or you can just use an old mobile phone, running a VOIP client app, connected through your home's WiFi network. Note that the mobile phone doesn't need to have a SIM installed, as you're not using the mobile phone network.

                        If you already have VOIP hardware (or an old mobile phone), here's where you sign up and pay the joining fee and initial $10 credit:
