    Only getting 600Mbps in Cairns from ABB. That is at the Network Termination device (ethernet directly to laptop). I have a Google Wifi system downstream usually. ABB and NBN Co say they won't fault find at this speed.

      Sign-in to the Aussie BB portal

      Next to where it says Cairns click on the graph icon. What does it say on the usage graph? Not Cairns (Link 2) by any chance?

    No - it only says Cairns. On the ABB website Cairns (link 2) has a lower CVC limit, is that what you thought it might be? I have gone back to a 100/20Mbps plan for the last month and then on monday my plan will go back to 1000Mbps again. I am hoping it is enough to kick it back up to close to the advertised speed.

      Yeah it happened to a clients Gig connection so we had to get it moved across to a link with more spare capacity and the speed increased straight away.

      That might fix it. If FTTP you can light up another port with a different ISP to compare.

    Port 1 was Telstra, unfortunately they don't offer 1000Mbps, ABB is on Port 2…..But good idea, I might even be able to ask ABB to swap to Port 1 or else I can try a different provider who offers 1000Mbps.. Thanks for the tip.
