I had to read this email twice for it to fully sink in. Seems ABB are finally rewarding their existing customers.

    i am not commenting on Aussie Broadband not am i claiming that i know what their plans are..

    i am currently with TPG and on a 100mbps plan and they gave me a free upgrade for free for 6 months to a 250mbps plan .. and i havent seen any noticeable difference in speeds or in latencies ..

    Could anyone please let me know if you actually see any difference in speeds and latencies for higher end plans .. if it is then i would think of moving to other providers .. thanks in advance ..

    • modded on 15/07/2021 - 15:35

      Your house might not be eligible, and your router may have insufficient bandwidth to convey much more than 100mbps. I bought the Xiaomi ax1800 from eBay recently and saw my speeds double

      • iamprabhath on 15/07/2021 - 15:37

        I have an ASUS ROG AC5300 router at home and my address is FTTP enabled as well .. so i dont know what i can do to increase my speed anymore

        • TrevBargn on 15/07/2021 - 15:52
          +1

          Some routers now have a speed test applet. Worth checking in the Asus menu options.

          Also check your PC/Laptop to router speeds. These can be capped at 100Mbps due to wi-fi or old Ethernet cables.

        • Twix on 15/07/2021 - 16:13

          Your Asus ROG router and FTTP is capable of 1000/50. As for latency there can be differences on which path an ISP takes. Moving ISP can help with latency problems.

        • cooeecanvas on 15/07/2021 - 16:34

          We have ABB and am on the 1GB plan, we get speeds of around 800Mbps and 4ms.. Interestingly, we have the ASUS RT86AU which has a speed test built into the modem page but the speedtest on the modem page only ever reaches 200Mbps.

      • [Deactivated] on 15/07/2021 - 18:07

        You need router with chipset that has three magic words built in - "hardware NAT offloading" to get gigabit Internet speed for network behind router. Typically that means you need router with one of Marvell Armada chipsets.

        • mikezillakind on 03/08/2021 - 06:30

          i have a AX88 …. should i have gotten somthing else ? considered grabbing a nuc of sorts off aliexpress but they have less ports and costs have gone up by alot !

          • [Deactivated] on 03/08/2021 - 08:19

            @mikezillakind: It really depends whether you getting same speed behind the router as when you connect your laptop to NBN port without router.

            • mikezillakind on 03/08/2021 - 08:31

      As an ABB 250mbps customer I get 250mbps d/l. When I was on the 100mbps plan, I got 100mbps. So yes, there is a clear difference in speeds (and price) between the tiers. Latency is about the same for me.

      • poiterbad on 15/07/2021 - 17:13
        +1

        Exact same for me. Sometimes it says I get just above 250 Mbps down so I'm pretty impressed with ABB

    • HD9990 on 15/07/2021 - 15:35

      well, there won't be any noticeable difference unless when you download games/videos. Meanwhile speed is also pathetic in peak times ( I was upgraded to 1gbps but at around 9pm the speed is around 100mbps.) NBN is just allowing you to use the band width while other people is not using it.

    • mts071 on 15/07/2021 - 15:38
      +1

      are you sure - are you still getting 100 download on speedtest, it might be that your NBN modem and router are talking at 100Mb … this happened to me when i first got the "free" upgrade.. I turned the NBN modem and my router off, after 30 sec, restarted the NBN modem, when it was finished going through its start up, i then restarted my router …. next thing i know i was getting full speed from the upgrade.(the pair of devices had auto negotiated a 100Mbs link between each other rather than 1Gbs - you can also see this if you have an ASUS router - it shows the WAN connection speed)

    • HUNTER4vr on 15/07/2021 - 15:39
      +1

      Really depends on your technology, I doubt FTTN would be able to handle over 100 in most cases.

      I'm with ABB and I can definitely see the speed increase. Currently on the 250 down plan and getting full speeds.

      Was on gigabit for a month, managed 950 downstream with my modem, was nice but didn't really see that much improvement in every day usage over the 250 plan.

      • havebeerbelywillsumo on 16/07/2021 - 19:27

        (placed here but no connection to any post really, just an observation) I too am on ABB and Speedtest showed I was getting the increased speed (250/40) BUT often I couldn't see any benefit (bar some downloads as mentioned above and below). My conclusion is that the source of the data (webpage site, download site etc) is pretty often NOT providing the data at sufficient speed making your increased capacity irrelevant.

    • CriticalImpact on 15/07/2021 - 15:40
      +1

      I'm on gigabit with ABB and get around 930mbps on speedtest. Now your mileage may vary as this really comes down to how your area is configured and what technologies are available but gigabit definitely works.

    • DiSTURBED-oNE on 15/07/2021 - 15:51

      I have been upgraded to 250mbps on Superloop, its definitely a noticeable difference, especially downloading off Steam, usenet, etc

    • quikstix on 15/07/2021 - 15:56

      TPG is the worst of the worst in every sense of the word. I wouldn't use them as a comparison tbh, talking from my own and 10+ other friends experiences. Move to a decent ISP and magically you stop getting drop outs, slow downs or intermittent latency spikes.

      • Waynes world on 15/07/2021 - 16:29

        I was with Telstra for years on cable. Moved to NBN HFC on the same cable. Started getting dropouts every day, within the year. 3 tech visits seemed to have immediate effects but issues returned fairly quickly. Gave up and switched to Foxtel - same cable. No dropouts like that since.

        I think this is not said enough - speed is one thing, but packet loss is something that I've noticed actually varies a lot but never reported. Back when I was with ABB, I really never had to think about it.

        Moved over to a reseller, and the packet loss was noticeable. Yes, running a speedtest was fine but you'd get pages that don't load all their elements correctly, so something or the other is broken. You'd be regularly refreshing / reloading pages to get those elements.

        I've now moved to another provider (not TPG) and its much better BUT not as good as ABB.

    • D3m3ntia on 15/07/2021 - 16:06

      What are you doing where you might notice a difference? I changed from 100 to 250 and while I'm sure I'm getting at least 240 constantly on FTTP, it hasn't made a difference to my life unless I download from my library of 2000 Epic Games and I see them Megabits go up. With 4K HDR streams, there's only 1 tv that can handle that anyway, so hasn't made a difference.

    • whitelie on 15/07/2021 - 23:54

      Run an internet speed test in the router app/web interface to see what's actually coming in to the house and then run a wifi speed test. Should show you where you're losing speed.

      I'm on the 1000/50 Superloop promo and get consistent 600-750mbps internet speed on HFC and around 450mbps on 5Ghz AC wifi.
      Before this was on their 100/50 plan and it definitely capped at the 100 mark.

    From their customer service rep:

    For our existing Customer base on eligible NBN connections, the offers are found below, this is with NBN's help:
    https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/lp/freakinfast/customer

    The only requirements for existing customers is that you are on a lower tier plan for at least 3 months and are specifically upgrading the speed to one of the listed plans.

    These requirements are because the promotion is in co-ordination with NBN and focused on having people trial the higher speed tier plans.

          Same with me but luckily only 200m from the node so can pull 98/39 give or take. Sucks I can't go faster but this seems enough for us.

      When is your next bill due?

      If you're eligible, we'll be dropping you an email over the next month, and we will then migrate you free of charge to the higher speed from your next anniversary billing date.

      max speed 50/20 for me on FTTN :(

      • lawyerz on 15/07/2021 - 17:47

        wow. I did not know that. is all FTTN maxed out at 50/20?

        • Twix on 15/07/2021 - 18:09

          Nah it depends on your premises distance from the node and the condition of the copper. The max NBN allow on FTTN is 100/40.
