Be Australian

>tfw getting NBN next month

and before someone starts shitting on the NBN, anything is an upgrade from my current speeds. The NBN is shit compared to other first world countries but I've had third world internet for the past 5 years.

>tfw lived in tasmania and got nbn in 2010, gigabit internet
>parents moved and I had to come
>been stuck in FN regional queensland the past 2 years
feels awful being a neet

I've said it many times, but I'll say it again - it is absolutely downright criminal how bad the government have fucked up the NBN, and the level of corruption involved is beyond comprehension.

In a short 5 year period, the government has basically ensured that Australia will forever be about 5 years behind the curve.

Can make just about anywhere sound nice when you put it that way

reality is that australia has a lot of issues. sure its not 3rd world tier stuck in war type shit but theres a lot of government corruption. chinese influence is pushing the housing market to the limit, nbn is simply a major fuck up thanks to media involvement from murdoch, and wages are stagnating to all fuck while power prices, car registration, and everything rises by 20% every year. the only thing keeping the economy going is massive immigration from india china pakistan and the rest of the middle east and sub saharan africa. the place is turning into a banana republic and the government want to make a quick dollar and sell us down the river to china. meanwhile, infrastructure cant keep up with growth of sydbourne and were going into 2018 with traffic and public transport congestion in both cities as bad as los angeles which is four times the population of sydney

i hope that australia is just going through a rough patch and we have a government change soon that will be more sensible in time, because at our current trajectory we'll be slipping off the deep end in the next 50 years. if youre a young professional, get out of australia while you can and move to either canada or the united states, far more on offer there and while the us is pretty fucked if you dont make a lot of money, the quality of life on a middle income there will afford you a far better lifestyle than what can be had in australia.

Answer, you clown

I've honestly stopped using fixed line broadband at this point and just using my phone internet.

It's better during the day, when they're all at work.
I have no idea what our combined capability is. At least 1Gbit I would say.

To be fair all Australian TV is trash anyway. I don't even know anyone who watches it except to make fun of its poor quality.

We got Charter here in Medford. no caps but terrible speeds. 80/10 is like 100$/mo

100/100 for $70 here in the Silicon Forest. Their speeds were better than Cumcast for a while, and their network is still superior.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

>100mbit downloads at work 1km down the road
>6-12mb at home. NBN still not installed and 6km away from Perth CBD

Perth City is a fucking shit show of different installations. Legit on one side of the street is fiber to the node. The other is fiber to the curb. Then some suburbs have fiber to the house.

All to save about $1-2000 per house. I'd rather have an increased tax levy then have shit internet desu.

I'm getting it in June. I'm in the same boat with speed. Even the base 12mbps would be better than my current speed.

Makes you feel bad for geriatrics who will need to pay at least $40 for a measly 12 mbps/100gb limit. Plus they also lose their phone line eventually.

FIVE UP haHAA

Is more than suitable for what I do

5 times faster than mine

Mostly because people just go with 12 mbps when the NBN launches their area.

Could be worse. You could killed by a snake, scorpion, bee, wasp, shark, crocodile, koala,emu, kangaroo, centipede, jellyfish, stonefish or any other of the 1250 animals that can kill you in that god forsaken land.

Canadian here. I thought Australians had a low tolerance for this kind of bullshit, and "fuck off cunt poofter" was about as common a phrase as "no worries". Apparently I was wrong.

When I got the NBN I knew it was still gonna be shit compared to other 1st worlders but fuck it was WAY better than the trash we had before. Could finally download things on PS4 without leaving the console on overnight as well.

There is a divide. You either get someone who doesn't give much of a shit or someone who cares a great deal about the most insignificant of things. Unfortunately our media only cares about the latter.

Thank God I'm not.

There was a great video I saw where some bloke went overseas to Europe and the US and offered strangers internet plans that were at Australian speeds and prices. They all thought he was a scamming fucknut and told him to piss off lol

Sounds like [literally any other country in the world].

faggot

just looked up when they are going to be installing NBN in my area and its going to be in 2020 and even then its only going to be FTTC

Well yeah our country has always put a considerable amount of effort into emulating the west.

Here's hoping you have >8mpbs

If you think I'm kidding, I've got news for you.
forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2680505
Nice downstream, shame about the cost, upstream, having to use Telstra modem and likely a bundle with Foxtel.

FTTC is fine, just upgrade later - it's a whole $300 for FTTC to upgrade to FTTP. (Not like FTTN where it can be anwhere from $5k to $200k)
Not like you'll need to upgrade immediately anyway, FTTC will do 100/40 no problems to 100% of households and until NBNco actually get off their shitheels and release a real 1000mbps service (not just 10x 100/40 services bonded on FTTP - which is what MR is doing in Woolongong)

Thanks for the info on FTTC. Something to look forward to in 2 years I guess.

Embarrassing for both ISPs. MR is just one of those shit ISPs with shit service that some people get lucky enough on while Aussie BB buy enough CVC that people are happy to over-pay and go on to insist that people should be paying extra to get a good enough service. Meanwhile you have a bunch of ISPs in the middle just fucking around taking your money until the ACCC temporarily whips them into shape because their service is less than acceptable. You just can't win because they're all out to fuck you over.

With the recent cuts to bandwidth costs from NBNCo, I'm not overpaying at all
We spend 79 dollars a month for unlimited 50/20

Granted, There is brand loyaltee here, Since I've had a more personal relationship with their senior staff.
That and I can get real answers from their tech instead of some PR jargon when I ask.

But honestly, use whatever works for you, which I believe you're really satisfied with what you get.
But well both should know that most mainstreams ISPs are out there looking for profit over service quality

How is this even legal.
Seriously, like how do they get away with this shit.

Stockholm syndrome at work, everyone. I live in Canada. Canada has shit internet and exorbitant prices compared to parts of the US or Europe. Bearing in mind that that Canadian and Australian dollars are nearly at par right now, consider this: I pay 90 dollars a month for 150/150.

>tfw have to go over to nbn in next few months and enjoy the slower speed and congestion.
Going to suck as I currently have no slowdown issues on old hfc network. Sits at 115mbps at all times of the day even peak and weekend. Going to miss it but hopefully won't lose a lot of speed. Due for nbn over hfc as well.

Yes, I am, since you're clearly clueless.

>implying

How much quota do you have? Cellular is usually fairly expensive for even a modest amount.

I'm paying $30/month for 100/100 from Verizon. However I'm not getting advertised speeds. On wireless, even when I'm standing 1 inch from the router, I'm getting 26 down/ 55 up.

Should I just call Verizon and bitch? I'm using my router as opposed to theirs if that makes a difference. Router is a Linksys WRT 1200AC

5ghz?

Verizon doesn't give 2 shits about your wifi speeds, they're not selling you wifi speeds, their selling you 100mbps WAN.

Anything beyond the ONT is your network. I guarantee your ONT is getting 100mbps, probably more.

As the other user said, no ISP is advertising wifi speeds. Your wifi speeds are highly dependent on not only the router you're using, but the device you're using to connect to the router, and your local wireless spectrum and possible spectrum interference. Further, there are any number of configuration settings on your router that you could have fucked with that your ISP has no control over.

tldr; if you have shitty wifi speed, it's probably your own fault, you're probably just too dumb to know better.
