      Yeah depends on the ISPs CVC in your area. Generally both are good.

          Maybe because CVC will be gone on 100Mbps and above once the updated nbn SAU gets approved.

              @bohn: What it means is that fast speeds will become more expensive.

              NBN revenue has two parts: service fee (AVC) and data usage fee (CVC). Labor's plan was for service fee portion of revenue to drop and data usage to grow. This would mean faster plans would be cheaper.

              The reality we have today is that faster plans with 5:2 download:upload are expensive and plans with lower upload designed to limit traffic are discounted. Today 4G & 5G are faster for many people and cheaper for those who download less data. The impact of this is that more people will abandon the NBN as too expensive. Less people connected, means that fixed costs need to be spread over a smaller group of customers resulting in price rises.

      What speeds you getting? I'm with more I get around 700 800 max. But random times 300. These speeds are taken off downloading games to the xbox series x.

    • [Deactivated] on 18/08/2023 - 11:55

      I got super loop yesterday and am only getting 450 Mbps when speed test instead of at least 700 or 800. Is that normal?

      • Felixrising on 18/08/2023 - 12:31

        No, check if your router is capable

      • Davesday on 18/08/2023 - 13:04
        +2

        Is the test done over Wi-Fi? FYI your client device (e.g. phone, tablet, laptop, etc) may be the limiting factor. To reach 700Mbps or above, either the device needs to support Wi-Fi 5/6 and/or multiple radio (e.g. MIMO mode).

        If the test was done over Ethernet and that is the speed, I can confirm Superloop (at least for my CVC) can only deliver up to 900Mbps between 11pm-6am (Mon-Fri) and all day during weekends. Any other time, my speeds are capped between 500-600Mbps. For uploads, there are no limitations.

        In other words, the speeds I am receiving is not consistent to what Superloop has advertised which is 'capped speeds' during the evenings. In all fairness, 500-600Mbps is still plenty for media consumption and WFH. But it is still not consistent with the advertisement.

        • [Deactivated] on 18/08/2023 - 14:13

          Thanks, I just moved into the house, I will assemble the computer and then test Ethernet. I tested on wifi with Asus ac1900 router, Mbp 2019, p30 pro and Lenovo yoga 2019 laptop. All same results ATM.

          • mbcd on 19/08/2023 - 09:20

            @[Deactivated]: there's usually a speedtest from the router itself. Might be under QoS tab in asus router web interface.
            This would be the best test to conduct as it would be direct from router to modem.

            • [Deactivated] on 19/08/2023 - 09:34

              @mbcd: Thanks, I am running merlin, so it was under QOS and internet speed and it was much worse at 270 mbps average no matter which server i connected. even superloop. But after that I did normal speedtest.net on mbp I get 470.

              Thought it might be device limitation and initiated speed test from both phone and laptop and the combined results were worse at 240. I think wired network on PC is the way to go, will test it later today.

      It does pay to ask and you can get a better deal if you're willing to lock in for longer periods. I've been on 69.95 per month for 250/25 for a couple years now in an opticomm area. Although I did have to lock in for four years to get this deal. I also lucked out, not many people in my area seem to know about opticomm so I get 285mbps during peak.

          Just wanted to know if fibre upgrade would resolve my issues with them because there BRAS was acting up again (= no connection all) since 5pm yesterday until 10am this morning.
          Since fibre still uses BRAS it wouldn't help to upgrade to fibre with them.
          Not amused, they said since resolved within 24 hours: too bad for me not having internet for 17 hours and no compensation.
          They're not even willing to look into the issue.
          Happened 3 times for at least 10 hours straight the past 6 months and several times for up to an hour.

      Does faster internet have much of an impact in regards to ping with gaming or is it all about routing?

      Probably not…

      Mine improved a lot when I upgraded but that was almost certainly due to going from FTTC to FTTP.

    • Twix on 18/08/2023 - 11:15

      Nah your ping stays the same. FTTP has the lowest ping out of all the nbn types. It's all about the ISPs routing and peering.

    • ThatsCheap on 18/08/2023 - 11:37

      Nope, if you want to improve ping stability and lower jitter in your home. Look for QoS settings in your router. If you have an ASUS router for example and 100Mbps Internet with 20Mbps upload. I recommend you enable Cake QoS (best one I've tested). For bandwidth you want to give headroom so make download 90 Mbps and upload 16 Mbps. Now your ping should be stable regardless of what others in your home do while you're playing games.

      • furyou on 25/08/2023 - 11:39

        I have ASUS router and if you set QOS then it limits speeds to the 90 Mbps you put in even if nothing else is on. Is that wanted?

        • ThatsCheap on 25/08/2023 - 18:29

          What's your internet speed? Without QoS. Which plan are you on?

    • Mozzmanau on 18/08/2023 - 11:47

      No. Ping generally relates to the distance you are from the server you're playing on.
