Really, Aussies be cucked with NBN. You were promised fiber and got glorified wi-fi.

>100mbit is $99-110

only reason most dont go to 100 now is cus the ACCC complained about speeds so they dont' offer unless they can guarantee you get it

Thats why they advertise "typical evening speeds" which are usually a little lower

Like I said. Say thanks to Based Tones.

nah, fixed wireless was part of the early designs alongside fibre because fibre is not going to happen if you're rural (and building a dedicated LTE tower for the area starts looking like a cheap alternative)

cunts got fucked with glorified dsl though if they're not in the existing fibre areas

That's the reason why. Adal 2+ was always advertised as being huge speeds but we rarwly ever saw decent speeds

cool ranch

Rural area ir made sense sort of. Not inner city and costal though

$69 a month for 1.5mbps? I live in a third world shithole and I get 5mbps up/down for less than that.

Or, you know, charge for the actual usage.

Can we ban gamers from the internet? Would make this place a lot better.

fixed wireless was only ever meant to be for the sparsely-populated rural areas

trying to put towns and shit on it is just asking for trouble, they don't have all that much spectrum to use and the towers themselves only have so much bandwidth from the fibre or microwave links they're hooked into

Pathetic really

if you've actually tried downloading large games on a Under subsequent questioning Mr Morrow claimed that NBN Co would not have information on the behaviour of end users to confirm they were gamers but referred to "people who do have familiarity with it".

NZ is tiny and fuck-all cunts live there, much cheaper market to serve than Straya

Most of the population of Australia is concentrated on the east coast, which in terms of area, is not a whole lot larger than NZ. Besides Perth, I don't think there are any other large population centres.
There is no excuse really. Your internet is garbage, and I'll be laughing with my reasonably priced unlimited gigabit.

I dealt with with 100kbps max until 2012 so you fucks can suffer in my place for a decade or two. Too bad the fastest plan is only 100/50.

Better than 98% of Australia apparently

>speed rating: emu

I'm Australian and the whole thing is a disgrace.
Australia is basically 6 big, fairly dense cities. There is no reason whatsoever why we can't have high-speed Internet like in Korea, etc.

The only reason is corruption and government incompetence. They just need to privatize the whole fucking thing and let the dinosaurs (Telstra, Foxtel) die a well-deserved death while new entrants provide better service.

They did that in France and now they have super fast Internet.

No serious internet user would choose to game on Australian wireless internet. Its optimized against QOS guarantees and latency, particularly on the upload side, and if there is any bottlenecking games are the first thing to drop. This is a feature of the particular 3 and 4G implementations. If people knew more about technology the NBN chief would be ridiculed for his comments, but he won't be. Sad.

It wasnt just that mate. Murdoch also had a little chat to abbott during the first election in NBN's implementation. The fiber itself is capable of 1000mb yet we get 100 max. Bit sus aint it?

>6 big dense cities thousands of km apart
>ignore it's mainly 1 dense city, seoul with high internet speeds

>As of 2017, South Korea had the fastest average internet connection in the world at 28.6 Mbit/s, according to the report State of the Internet published by Akamai Technologies

>10 people with 100mbit links, 50 people on 50mbit links or 1 cunt getting gigabit link

fibre can do practically any speed its the hardware at either ends

% of Australians do speed tests
m8 if that happened we'd be back in the stone age.

BR here, and i will tell you the future if you privatize your internet.

You see, when broadband first came to brazil, it was handled by only one company, telefonica.
While it is a private company, it basically inherited ALL the brazilian telephony from telesp/telerj etc.. basically our government handed the monopoly over.
And with telefonica's speedy being the only option, 300KB/s maximum speed, 1GB monthly caps that when you violated, you would need to pay around 5 dollars per extra 100MB, which led many people to get 500-1000 dollar cap penalties.
But then something funny happened, the cable tv companies and mobile companies and other companies were allowed to compete, and as soon they stepped in, speed raised to 2MBPS all the cable companies, the cap got busted and is still busted as fuck on pretty much all non mobile ISPs, prices fell, and for a shithole like brazil, the internet is quite good.
So yes, privatize that shit, open competition, allow the free market to work it's magic on your country. At least for internet it work very fucking well, specially if your population is prone to pirating shit.

It does not matter than the cities are apart.
It's like saying that Paris and Moscow can't have fast Internet because they are apart.

Perth have their own links that are different from the trans-Pacific ones we have in Sydney.

The thing about density is the link between houses and the network. The big, long-distance cables are a solved problem.

Honestly, I've thought about doing this. I won't ever be able to afford a house here and I hear europe is significantly friendlier to renters and has a lower cost of living.

Problem is, Australia isn't part of the euro-union, so getting a visa is troublesome.

What are you implying?
Apart from saving money (the reason they gave at the time) I can't see how they would gain from limiting internet speeds

These people have to either be brown or someone of merit. So no chance since coons still cant understand phones yet.

Well, allow competition, get triple the internet speed.

Im implying if they delivered the speeds they originally planned on there would be massive amount of cable cutters and freeview would have to the way of the tv license just to survive. Also at this time fairfax and channel ten specifically ran a massive slam campaign against labor who were trying to deploy those speeds. Im not pro labor but i sense shenanigans. At least after all that 10 is still close to death, hopefully it happens sooner rather than later.

Guessing you're this hueposter
When the govt handed over the telco did that include the infrastructure and did the private companies that came after do anything to improve/upgrade?

Here Telstra is a quasi private concern. still "owned" by the govt but has it's own board and shareholders and essentially leases the hardware out to other isps. Most of whom probably wouldn't spend a cent on infrastructure but would happily gouge consumers for either "supposedly" faster speeds or bigger caps.

It's the infrastructure spending no one wants to face. the govt tried fucking dismally to with the nbn which has turned out to be the most expensive lemon any of us has bought.

That makes some sense
It sounds to crazy to back old media conglomerates over the guaranteed stimulated economy that would occur by modernizing the internet
But that government was particularly insane

Privatizing would mean some large corporation would just game the fuck out of government and customers and pay huge monies while doing as little as possible. There is no incentive to build a good service.

Once upon a time, in more enlightened times, managers existed whose role was not to get rich or advance careers or make good numbers but to improve utilities for public i.e. everyone's good. More recently by happy accident of confluent motivation sometimes capitalism produces same result. Often not.

But what is needed is people put in (actually) charge who (actually) have mindset that they need to improve the product/service/utility in the most rational way. I don't know if such beings exist and doubt they could be inserted successfully.

>It's the infrastructure spending no one wants to face
While true, that is the exact same battle that has occurred everywhere else in the world

The REAL Australians should be given free unlimited fast internet (AbboNET) and the British land thieves should be limited to dial-up speeds. That would alleviate most of the problems.

Pretty much all the government is either bought out or working within their own personal interests on both sides. Whenever the PM gets too uppity and harms the interests of donors or other cabinet members they are swiftly replaced. Thats why we have malcom now. Also remember to removing negative gearing? Whatever happened to that?

The case i told you (the brazilian case) kinda counters your argument.
There is the huge incentive of getting your ass rammed by a rival network if you don't deliver the fastest and freer internet because the pirates will all move to the service that delivers game of thrones the fastest.
Unless the large corporation pay the government to make a law forbidding competition like in certain countries *AHEM*US*AHEM*, in this case free market just works.

So nobody gets it? All that remains anywhere within infastructure are english rape babies.

G'day

Other isp's can already offer competition, his point was that nothing is being spent upgrading the infrastructure
Which is most of the problem

Your government is weird
The only two parties are either shilling for corrupt corporations or corrupt unions

Dont forget the smaller ones that latch themselves onto the larger parties so that team wins and whoever buys them out leverages them against the larger party and if they dont follow through they implode.

I live in the Gold Coast, and am on a $60 a month plan for 100/50, unlimited NBN. Test in pic related was taken over a wifi, whilst downloading some other stuff in background. I get closer to 95/40 when I connect through ethernet, but can't be arsed to go downstairs right now. Admittedly, the download in the background wouldn't have affected it much, but my housemates are almost constantly streaming TV shows as well.

You can't get this deal anymore, I'd joined MyRepublic back when everyone thought they were a scam company from Singapore, when they were just really desperate to get customers their first Australian customers. The first couple months were a little rough, but I haven't had a problem since, and am enjoying first world country internet.

I've had the same IP since I moved to this house, eight months ago

have you tried turning it off then turning it on again

Mine changes about every day. And my router reports a different IP to the one google, and speedtest do (And no, I'm not talking about any sort of local address). It's really fustrating, because it blocks port forwarding, so I can't set up a temporary webserver for real life testing purposes.

Eat shit bucko you will be on 10mbps before the year is done.

if i wanted to change it, i'd have to walk to the other end of my house and wail on the UPS to kill power to the nbn shit

fibre doesn't fuck around

Muh ebin Twitch streaming :DDDDDDDDD

Quick "I know what you download" lookup, and it seems I've had this IP multiple times. I guess they just rotate it around. Let's play a game, who can guess which torrents are mine?

Gaymers need to be chemically castrated.

Consider it a blessing in disguise, Ausfags. With such bad internet across your bad island, you're forced to "socialise". I can only imagine how disproportionally fewer fat whales, shut-ins, and virgins you have as a result of it.

You're more wrong than you can imagine. Its just the same but with more bitching about speeds.
