Hi all. From the outset, please note this may not work for everyone but has certainly worked for me and a few others I've asked to test. Let us know in the comments how it went for you. Read this article on Whirlpool so gave it a go. Previously getting 46/17Mbps on Speedtest but now getting 54/18Mbps after a modem power cycle. Not sure what the '15% overprovisioning' really means, so I'll let the experts comment below. This article has a lot more information. Hope it works for you. Stay safe, and enjoy :)

Edit: Telstra announcement.

Mod Note: This is not specific to Telstra, the deal is just linked to a Speedtest hosted by Telstra.

    No luck on Mate yet

  • soidesire on 23/07/2020 - 21:17

    Getting 106 down for a few weeks now from 96 on HFC.

  • cammod on 24/07/2020 - 12:02

    Working on HFC with Optus. 108/37.

    However, I replaced my router today and discovered the cable between the NBN modem and router was holding my speed back. I only get 93/37 using the old cable with the new/old router. New cable (5e) gives me results above.

    Worth noting incase someone else has the same issue.

  • seniordoc on 24/07/2020 - 12:56

    I tried on Superloop, 100/20 yesterday. No change after reboot the whole system, only 83/17
    I have HFC. I live in NSW.
    Does anyone has a list of suburb that work for Superloop?

      I am with superloop on FttN. I noticed my "sync speed" had gone from the typical 54Mbps to 60Mbps on my 50/20 plan. However, a speed test still gives me the same old 46Mbps. And it's not my line that's the issue; my "maximum attainable linespeed" rates at 92.5Mbps, and I once reached 79Mbps when on a 100/40 plan.

      Honestly, the whole FttN thing is idiotic. I can choose to pay for speeds I can't quite reach, or get a subscription that doesn't take full advantage of my line. Why can't they have intermediate speeds, like 75/20 or something? It can't be that hard.

      Without turning it into a political argument, anyone working in the ICT industry knows that if you want to do something, do it right or be prepared for maintenance to kill you. I wonder for how much longer we have to suffer through the copper hell.

        How many connected phone sockets or lines do you have to the first pair?

  • lonewolf on 24/07/2020 - 19:31

    Is this a permanent boost or just a boost temporarily due to covid? I have finally hit the top speed of what i am actually paying for.

  • aztecian on 25/07/2020 - 11:57

    With Tangerine 42/20 FTTP in Sydney, was getting 35/14, after reboot comes up to 46/17, happy with result, Thanks OP!

    Tpg 50/20 FTTC get 46/17 via speedtest. Contacted TPG and they said they are not aware of overprovisioning.

    Paying for 100/50 getting 99/50..not happy. I need more

    • Turd on 18/08/2020 - 01:50

      What provider offers 100/50 NBN?

      50Mbps upload?

  • MiscOzB on 17/08/2020 - 02:37

    Must be working for me now as I'm getting 54/18Mbps just like OP.

  • mixgrill on 17/08/2020 - 19:57

    Bentley Depot is now active
    22 Mbps -> 26.14 Mbps

  • Turd on 18/08/2020 - 01:52

    Telstra are dodgy the advertise NBN100 as 20Mbps upload. What happened to 100/40 speeds?

    YouTube content providers should be protesting!

    Typical speeds between
    7pm-11pm 88Mbps (download),
    15Mbps (upload) Typical speeds outside
    7pm-11pm 90Mbps (download),
    15Mbps (upload)

  • Alzori on 01/09/2020 - 14:12

    Is anyone on a Vocus reseller getting the higher speeds? I messaged my ISP (Launtel) today and they advised Vocus is simply not doing the over-provisioning, which was a shock to me.

  • djsydney on 17/09/2020 - 20:59

    Just did a router and NBN box restart as the YouTube streaming was flaky.

    I am on NBN50 with Internode. The speed has gone up from 46-47mbps to 53-54mbps.

    I am on FTTP and in Sydney.
