>it's a big deal

where's australia anyway? have you ever seen an "australia"? i don't think this autralia thing even exists

>100 bucks a month
I pay less than that in a year for uncapped 200 up and down

They were already that like 20 years ago, right?

I guess it might have to do with little competition, no motivation to lay srs underwater cables + pay for more traffic, and also sparse population overall.

4u

"uncapped"
are you by chance going to school at the moment?

Whats your provider?

Australia is the testing ground to see how fucked in the ass people can get and be okay with it

nunya business?

>Nunya
Business amirite? xD

>nunya business?
its Nunya Goddamn Business, get it right cunts

Rupert Murdoch

Unironically this. The fat cunt made the government / libs fuck up the NBN to stop the spread of Netflix and Stan.

NOONGA

1000/1000mbit 10€/month - no cap

Man you are living in cave man times

Don't have this problem in New Zealand, hope this helps.

asstralians are 3rd world trash descended from criminals & pedophiles

>tfw australia actually has a rock solid hardon for terrible monopolies that continue on due to blatant corruption and corporate hand outs.

what the fuck did we honestly expect to happen when we allowed a massive portion of the NBN Co board to be telstra employees?

>>>/fucking highschool/

Germanon here. Internet here is expensive and slow. Around 30 - 40 Euros per month. (There are cheaper rates but they're not available everywhere.) What you get is 8 - 11 Mbits/s. (Divide by 10 for megabytes/second). It used to be faster, but then EVERYBODY got on, and since I live in a densely populated neighbourhood, the speed goes down, especially in the evening and on weekends. That is so even though I live just 2 kilometers from the origin of the European internet that is still a major network hub today.

Privatising Telstra was a mistake

there isn't 1000gb of things of value on the internet.

Maybe not on the kangooroostani internet.

Because Australia is fucking enormous and no one lives there

It isn't all bad

i pay $80 with telstra for 1tb atm, still a rip off for what i use. i think they fucked me over and got me on a contract til 2020 isntead of month to month like i purchased.

FUCK OFF WE FULL

Huh.
We got unlimited upgrade for free.
Nbn is available in my area as well, stilm haven't upgraded and are on adsl with 250 KB/s

how is perth pings in gaming? do you get like 50ms more then the east coast?

I get around 50/70 on LOL so it's pretty decent

Based

>giving control of the internet to the government

well there's yer problem!

its decent for australia indeed. we needed a proper internet solution 10 fucking years ago, nbn should've been completed years ago but now it wont be done for another 10 and we will need to upgrade it again costing more money.

Because they have the monopoly and have gotten away with it for far too long.
>tfw not getting NBN until late 2020 and have to rely on 4G

you fucking gamers, didn't you hear? You are what's making the internet in australia slow for the rest of us! please put the controller down and hop back on 4k netflix

the ACCC is your friend!

I have an idea for your traffic issue: anyone who can't convert from megabits to megabytes is not allowed to have internet.

yeah gonna cancel telstra and go to internode for $20 less a month whenever i can be fucked.

A network byte has a start and a stop bit. So it's usually 10 bits to a byte. It's not like in RAM.

Well, you can measure it. You can use different tools to give you your DSL transfer rate in Mbits/s and MByte/s and you'll find that it's 10 bits to a byte. At least it's here, we don't have a parity bit.

>they tell me I'm a retard and it won't be
They were wrong to do this. I experienced the same thing back in 2012 when I got the NBN.

Isn't it fucked up that 4g is faster than NBN? In europe you can get 500/200 for like $20 a month, it's unreal

No, Nunya Luiz Ricardio. He's actually pretty famous in Rio.

seriously, I think only ADSLcucks are benefiting from NBN at all.
You can say Labor's nbn would be too expensive but the Libs is too and I would have preferred literally nothing.
Those billions of dollars would be better spent on roads or hospitals or constructing the world's largest animatronic gay sex scene.
At least that last one would generate some tourism.

ITS BAD BECAUSE YOU FUCKWITS ELECTED THE LIBERALS ON A PLATFORM OF SABOTAGING THE NBN, WATCHED AS THEY SABOTAGED THE NBN, REELECTED THEM TO FINISH THE JOB, THEN LET THE ARCHITECT, TURNBULL, JUST WALK AWAY.

NEW ZEALAND IS LITERALLY GETTING 200MBPS AND FASTER PLANS RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

So like 90% of the country that had unstable 4-12mbps with no other option than to go wireless or 4G

Hmm I thought there where 8 bits in a byte

BUT LABOR ARE COMMIES THAT CAN'T KEEP A STABLE GOVERNMENT REE

How's that working out with the Libs playing musical chairs too as soon as an election gets close, hmm? I can't believe the fuckwits who act all surprised about this shit. What did they THINK was going to happen? Where the fuck did Turdbull get his cult of popularity from anyway?

Murdoch
Really though genuinely never met someone who liked Malcolm Turnbull. I know people who tolerated him, but no one who *liked* him.

NZ's government largely stayed out of it over there and didn't have the Telstra Question to deal with

Over here it's a choice of corporate corruption or union/commie corruption. We're fucked either way and only get to pick whose snouts hit the trough each cycle

there are, but communication protocols add all sorts of overhead (though newer protocols tend to dial back the error correction stuff because they're running on more reliable technology and don't need it)

>what is Telecom New Zealand (now known as Spark)
>what is the Ultra Fast Broadband initiative
Go do some research you lying fuck. The realities of national infrastructure don't align with small govt ancap fantasies.

NBN was such a fucking meme
>use standard ADSL connection for years, works fine
>2 year internet plan runs out

>I smell bullshit
>get invitation to switch to NBN a few weeks later

>take their offer, but they need to install some extra stuff

it is a fucking joke, I would have been better off sticking with the original ADSL2+ connection, it was good and had no bullshit

lmfao the NZ government literally forced an initiative to give ultra fast broadband to everyone. here i am sitting with gigabit down and 400mpbs upl laughing at your absolute pajeet tier internet speeds

no ancap fantasy, spark appeared to split with far less tantrums and bullshit than telstra

chorus is also a public company rather than a wholly government-owned enterprise

it's a very different story to the "we can't re-nationalise telstra so let's just try to create a government owned replacement" shitshow that nbnco is

lmfao NZ has 1/4 the population of australia and you're all concentrated in one place so no fucking wonder

it's actually 1/5th

anyone that complains about nbn is a poor fag and lives in some meme area. i had a 25/1 cable connection before nbn, now i have a 50/20 connection on. i have had zero problems, besides a single 24 hour maintenance about 2 and a half months ago. if your internet is so important to you then just career up and move somewhere to get that meme internet you don't even use completely. can't expect amazing internet where you live in an area where 3/4 of the people can't afford to have it, or have only mobiles on huge data plans instead because they are brainlets.

i've had 100mbps fibre for nearly 5 years now

gigabit would almost make up for having to live in chink taswegia

there's another 600k+ kiwis living in straya too

they're the ones who never shut up about how great nz is but refuse to live there until they fuck up and get deported

I'm getting 90/40 unlimited for $60. TPG is fine these days. They're not as bad as they were a few years ago.

>move from small town USA where I had 100/100 cable for $20 per month to Brisbane where I can only get "3"mbps DSL (not even DSL+) for $69/per month

yeah government owned internet infrastructure is great

you in logan or beaudesert or something? LMAO plenty of places in brisbane have great internet. your just a poor fag, and accept the fact if you could afford to move to a more well-to-do area we couldn't even be having this discussion. no one is denying that you are overcharged for your only option, but it isn't an ode to how poor the service / nbn in truly is. accept some responsibility.

no i'm not in fucking logan, i'm fuckin in cleveland, cunt

im with tpg on a 50gb plan and its faster than optus/telstra shit and i go over the cap every month but dont get charged extra or speed throttled

NZ and AU have similar urbanisation, centralisation, and population densities. Try again, excusefag.

>cleveland
move away from the coast you beach fucking hippie and maybe you might get decent internet. what business exists out there? explain to me why the government is compelled to ensure you have a 100/100 connection out there? what, for your furry porn? fact of the matter is that you can't deal with the fact that what you have now is ample for what you do. you just want to seem more important.

>explain to me why the government is compelled to ensure you have a 100/100 connection out there?
they aren't, but they're cockblocking the fuck out of TPG and Optus and other WISPs who would like to provide me with internet service

>ignoring the tender process that happened pre-nbnco
>ignoring the subcontracting errywhere
>pretending both labor and libshit weren't openly planning on privatising it after everything got built

>move away from the coast you beach fucking hippie and maybe you might get decent internet. what business exists out there?
but yeah i'm gonna take that advice to fucking move. there are some good tradie businesses out here a little way from cleveland, (cleveland just has the nice homes and shit) but it's shit for anything like internet.

what makes you think that these ISPs would make any good return on building out there? who said they want to give you an internet service? how self-serving are you? you live in a coastal town full of old people, young people and young families. then you need to think about what niche are actually going to want to go on these high speed plans. probably not a lot. just accept that what you do on the internet is not that important and doesn't warrant a 100/100 connection.

>just accept that what you do on the internet is not that important and doesn't warrant a 100/100 connection.

that's not for you to decide. when you say that you just make everyone think that you're the one who's so self-serving that you should be the judge jury and executioner over who gets what internet speed, cunt. the margins for being a WISP are thin enough as it is (I know several cunts who are in the business) but getting that stuff out to this area costs a lot because regulations around broadcasting wireless wring everyone dry, and they're just the start. it's for the young people and young families to decide, not you, not the government either.

you're right, it's not for me to decide. it's for the market to decide and they have decided that it's just not that important. you can try and spin this anyway you want but simply, the market has spoken. if there was any urgency, or any commercial imperative to build out there then they already would have. the government is not cucking you, the market it is. it's quite cute that the only way you can justify yourself is by applying an ideology that you believe is fair to the situation LMAO.

You ignorant little shit. Go look up the Telstra/Optus cable wars before you rant about your precious market for natural monopoly infrastructure.

lmao get triggered poor fag. quite simple, move somewhere the market deems worthy to build high speed connections. until then your dreams of being a twitch streamer, or youtube star are dead. considering ending yourself if your politics comes from your inability to do those things. why are people from qld so primitive, fmd.

The same reason the whole country is so bad.

Does it take effort to fit that much wrong in a post, or does it just come naturally for you? Look up the cable wars. I'll wait.

Not a qlder btw.

Internet is fine where I am, don't know what your problem is kids.

Because Murdoch and being a subservient USA lapdog. Yep, fairly accurate.

what part of the government is cockblocking the market do you not understand?

Ladies, please. You're both terminally stupid.

We are probably owned by China now, not the USA.

>tfw your country is such a little bitch it went out of its way to get two masters to tell it what to do

>incentivizing companies by actually letting them make a profit
We let that happen here in Canada and the result was a series of regional telco monopolies/duopolies that throttle, charge, and cap as they please.

you know, this whole issue could be resolved if Aussies got their heads out of their arses and deployed fixed 5G across the country considering it's so fucking flat the highest point is Uluru

Wireless cannot work in dense urban areas if everyone uses it you colossal faggot. Never mind all the other issues with it, or how any reasonable wifi use always needs a wired network backing it.

then you know fuck all about MiMo and how 5G works
maybe do you're fucking homework before spouting off ya fuckwit
