I've noticed slow night time speeds recently, likely due to increased demand. I'm assuming we don't all get throttled equally and it must be some function of how much bandwidth our provider bought and how much they sold (no. of customers). Anyone know how it actually works? Let us know who you're with and if you've notice a decrease.
Slow Night Time NBN Speeds, Does It Matter Which Provider You're with? Or does everyone get throttled equally?

Thought so. This must be measurable, wonder why the ACCC and Telecom Ombudsman haven't made the RSP's report this number.
They have that's why they all tell you the typical evening speed which is the speeds you can expect in the afternoon/night.
If your speed slow down by a lot then it's a problem, im on 100/20 and it goes down to maybe 85 mbps on a bad day.Looks like the ACC only provide guidance. Who knows what funny business is happening when/if they interpret this guidance. There should be a defined standard on how to measure this.
"We have published guidance for internet service providers on how to advertise broadband speeds for their fixed line services. Providers that follow our guidance will give you specific information to help you choose the right NBN service for your needs."
My 50 plan regularly drops to 1-5mbps :(.
@[Deactivated]: Just avoid all large providers like Telstra (rip off for what you get) and shitty extremely cheap providers like tangerine and go with a well know providers like Aussie broadband.
Or simply leave and sign up with another provider if you notice an issue rather than bothering with calling and going through what is most likely terrible support asking you to do basic stuff you would most likely have tried before calling.
great thing with NBN you can join another provider in hours/minutes (normally minutes)@[Deactivated]: holy shit dude, leave right now that's not slightly lower that bloody terrible speed.
Who are you with?
@[Deactivated]: Leave then, there is zero reason to stick around when you have FTTP.
That's the great thing about FTTP you have multiple ports so you can be connected to multiple ISP's at the same time so you wont be without a connection as they will use the next NTD port.
Aussie broadband, Superloop or Launtel is who i'd recommend, ive been with all three and even TPG long time ago and i am currently with Launtel (Here's a speed test for launtel 100/20 https://www.speedtest.net/result/9777619403.png)
Seriously consider switching.
@Axelstrife: Just don't use Launtel if you're on their home turf. You'll wish you was with Telstra with the throttling, constant dropouts, support blaming faulty switches and so forth. It's been the same excuses every day for 10 years.
@Clear: Unlucky.
ive had zero issues, with them, im mainly with them dude to t hem charging by the day so i can have gigabit speeds one day costing $4.60 then switch back to 100/30 when im done downloading whatever.@Axelstrife: Even luckier you don't have to deal with their business team. "Let's just go unplug all the switches". Far from cheap too but each to their own.
@Axelstrife: Thanks for the advice, Launtel have a 7 day free trial that was super easy to set up. Even received a call from them 20 mins later when they noticed my router settings weren't correct and ran me through how to fix it. Hoping they have good night time speeds.
@[Deactivated]: Awesome, let us know how it goes, i didn't mention the trial as i wasn't sure it was still running, i got the same when i joined.
Remember they charge by the day not month so you simply top up your account using the online login with however much you wish to then it will deduct every day, this way if you need faster speeds you can upgrade your speed for a day or two or however long you want then change it back after and only get charged more for the few days your at the higher speed not the entire month.
@[Deactivated]: An ISP change can be completed in around 20 mins on FTTP.
Cancel TPG or else you will get billed for an unused service & ask for a refund for not providing the right speed.
@[Deactivated]: join belong! you don't regret it! if you're under contract make a complaint so you can get the ball rolling on getting an early termination.
I don't notice a slowdown with belong
I don't see any issues ever with aussie broadband
Same experience with Aussie Broadband. I get the same fast speeds regardless of time of day.
Aussie Broadband User Here
Never had a slow down in peak times, i get close to same speeds i get during day etc.
I suspect it is because unlike other providers they do not oversell their product and manage their CVC etcI think they are one of only a very few who actually show the usage for each POI publicly etc
+1 for Aussie BB
+1 for Aussie Broadband
Had numerous people confirm the following:
Telstra and AussieBB both good. But there have been Twitch/Youtube issues on AussieBB for a long time.. massive thread @ whirlpool about it.
Some of those people had Telstra/Aussie connections side by side, and telstra did not have the streaming issues.Here is one thread that spans two years: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/941858p3
I have no problem with Twitch & Youtube on AussieBB.
In saying that AussieBB are testing a Twitch fix next week.
Good, I hope they fix it. But for at least two years there has been a problem for many. Whilst I like that AussieBB admins are posting in the thread responding to people, it's still crap that the problem has existed that long when the issue does not exist on Telstra.
Superloop or Aussie BB - both are great. Don't bother with an other ISP
Yes, it does. And it's not active throttling by your RSP, rather your RSP being stingy/miscalculating demand.
