      If you running g.fast you need a new modem capable of g.fast specs.

      The one they give you is the adtran one.

      So yes best to get it

      • Ilikecars on 06/06/2024 - 11:44

        Why are you spamming capti? Genuinely curious why I would pay so much more for capti compared to say tpg or exetel?

        I'm paying $99 at exetel for 1000mb/40 and getting that speed almost all the time. Am I missing something? What is g fast?

        • Jay-rad on 06/06/2024 - 13:08

          I'd guess because people don't know the difference between ISPs, NBN vs Vision Network (VN, formerly TPG FTTBW) vs Gigacomm. Capti was the 1st on VN to give us hope of not being stuck on 100Mbps and they've slamdunked it imho

          NBN Max speed for FTTB is 100/40 Mbps
          VN offers 1Gbps/50Mbps (pending many infrastructure caveats) for FTTB

          NBN could've provided FTTP, G.Fast or reused existing HFC for FTTB but they didn't. VN however do and VN's RSPs are slowly coming online for us not lucky enough to be FTTP upgradable on NBN, which at this point I don't even want as its a monopoly, we need more ISP competition in Australia…

          Edit:
          Checked exetel
          NBN 100/40 - $74.99 p.m 6mnths then $88.99 p.m
          NBN 250/40 - n/a (They don't offer 1Gbps plans for FTTB)
          NBN 1000/50 - n/a (They don't offer 1Gbps plans for FTTB)
          VN 100/40 - $74.99 p.m 6mnths then $88.99 p.m
          VN 250/25 - $83.99 p.m 6mnths then $98.99 p.m
          VN 1000/50 - n/a (They don't offer 1Gbps plans for FTTB)

          Capti
          VN 100/40 - $69 p.m
          VN 250/40- $89 <- I'm on this as my max linespeed is 700/38Mbps, I always get 280/38. Compared to when on NBN I'd experience the 'peak hour slowdown'. Haven't had that on Vision
          VN 1000/50- $109

              FYI Thats NBN not VN so YMMV as I can only vouch for Captis G.Fast, havent used any of there other services (NBN or VDSL)

          • jace88 on 06/06/2024 - 17:34

            @Jay-rad: Isn’t gigacomm a fundamentally different setup?

        • Twix on 06/06/2024 - 14:16

          G.fast is capable of 1000Mbps over short distances with a mix of fibre and copper. Vision network use G.fast on FTTB for speed tiers up to 1000/50. nbn don't use G.fast on FTTB and has a maximum of 100/40.

          You have 1000/50 on FTTP or HFC. Capti FTTB doesn't apply to you.

      I have had g.fast for almost 2yrs. Only had one dropout that I have noticed the entire time.
      If you get dropouts it is likely due to poor cabling in your building.

      • Italianfriedrice on 30/06/2024 - 15:44

          nbn FTTB has a max speed of 100/40. TPG only do 100/20 for new customers.

          TPG FTTB has a max speed of 500/25.

              @kongkee: nbn FTTB with TPG 100/20 is $79.99/m for 6 months and $89.99/m ongoing after 6 months.

              Yeah Superloop have a good network on the backend.

        • Jay-rad on 06/06/2024 - 13:34

          Basically different networks (ISPs) with different retail providers (RSPs). This is great for competition as right now the majority market share is NBN RSPs trying to outdo eachother price wise, but restricted by NBNs pricing structure, Vision Network doesn't ideally have to follow that as its a different ISP

            I love my current (legacy) plan with Superloop 50/20 $69 per month. I don't know if I can see similar deals the next year when this deal's gone. I don't wanna pay $75 per month for a 50/20 which seems to be the trend.

  • Jordyn11 on 07/06/2024 - 08:14

    For what it is worth, I was able to upgrade to the 500mbs plan as an existing TPG nbn fttb customer. New acct was required, but they said they would waive the 6mth contract as was off contract with my existing plan. I couldn't get them to budge off the $20 prepayment rort tho.

        The Tech just completed my installation and much to my surprise am getting 900 down and 46 up. I am on level 4 of a 10ish year old block and fortunately directly above the MDF so the run wouldn't be so long. He said that TPG don't cap but play it safe with the advertised speed given the variations in cabling etc. Overall extremely happy with the outcome.

        Now just to make sure that TPG cancel my existing service and waive my 6mths contract which they are yet to do.

        • c2pv1ru5 on 11/06/2024 - 21:07

          I am not that lucky. TPG is difficult in trying to get ID check etc etc. So 3 days, still not getting anywhere.

          • Jordyn11 on 12/06/2024 - 07:41

            @c2pv1ru5: Oh, I was fortunate that the rep I spoke to didnt make me do the ID checks etc when creating the new account. Perhaps because I was kicking up a stink about the $20 rort he just wanted to push it through but more likely because it was so new they didn't really know what they were doing. It took over 1hr on the phone to want should have been no more than 20mins. My concern now is that they follow through and cancel my old service and pro-rata the remaining time. We dont sign up to TPG for their service so good luck with it.

  • jace88 on 09/06/2024 - 17:00

    After having the TPG FTTB Max plan for a couple of days, I've tried optimising the TPG FTTB connection by using a shorter RJ11 phone line to my new modem, and then running a longer Cat6 cable to my ASUS XT8 mesh wifi/router. This improved the speed from 350ish to 450ish compared to my original setup which had a 10m RJ11 phone line running from the outlet to where my ASUS router was.

    I've noticed there's some pretty clear variability in the speedtest results when running directly on the ASUS router (rather than via speedtest.net on my PC) where it ranges from 410Mbps up to a peak of 465Mbps. It seems to hover around the 440-450 mark most of the time though.

    Are there any further tips on how I could improve this further? I've tried resetting the modem and router a few times which didn't really make much difference - so I wonder if a longer period of it being off might improve it?

    • Twix on 09/06/2024 - 17:16

      Get shortest RJ11 cable you can to the Adtran. Next step is replacing the old crap wires from MDF to your unit.

      • Hire a cabler to speed test each point along the route to your Router. They can terminate a temp rj11 jack, plug in the adtran to get sync, you run laptop speedtest off that.
      • at MDF
      • at IDF
      • at your rj11 phone jack
        Find weakest link, hire cabler to replace & pull new cat6/cat6a cable from MDF/IDF to your unit, rejoice.

        Don't laugh but I was testing this again today and was getting 420ish on my Windows gaming desktop over ethernet, but my ASUS router was reporting speeds of 470 and even my iPad Pro M2 managed to get 470 over wifi.

        I thought I'd experiment disabling the various Bitdefender protection features (ie firewall, vulnerability scanning, etc) and my speeds jumped immediately to 470+ on my PC. This wasn't an issue for me before but clearly there's some overhead/loss due to the ongoing scanning.

        Regardless though I'm going to leave the various protections enabled but thought this was amusing to see. Turning them back on and my speed went back down to 440ish.

        Built pre 2000. Maybe there's another bottleneck somewhere else - but the 450+ is good enough for me. My old building down the road is a similar age and I could get near gigabit from Gigacomm but they had to run some new cabling through the risers. I used to be quite far from the distribution point on the floor so the best I could get was about 950ish.

    Just signed up. I was using Launtel for temporary usage and Telstra 5G Internet. Let's see how this goes.

    We pay $79.99/month for 50/20 TPG NBN FTTN (but on some promotional thing where they boosted our speed for some months can't remember until when I think 12 months so now we are on 86/20 basically until the program is over) all because we are on nbn FTTN and can't get onto this I believe as it is TPG FTTB only whatever that is (just found out this is apartment related so definitely doesn't affect us on a good note though I checked when our fttp upgrade schedule is set and it looks like 2025 June is the estimated date but obviously subject to change with construction hurdles)

    Don't forget you can check your FTTP upgrade schedule here

    damn, have FTTB but not tpg FTTB. great prices, really struggling to find a decent deal in that vicinity. messing around with commbank yello for More NBN seems the closest
