Why is Australia's internet so bad? Telstra is screwing us over

t. Sydney cunts

240mb down/15 up for £34 including TV and line rental.
No data caps, no traffic shaping.

lads which ISP does not get affected congestion?

It doesn't matter, it helps our exports.

>caring about the cost when your on ceno
Must suck being a wagey

All of them do.

because the government won't allow competition, they want crony capitalism, aka oligarchy, not real capitalism

actually you can thank the labor party because they are the ones who nationalised the internet infrastructure, just like the communists they are, and now no competition, which would cheapen the service and increase the options available to you, is welcome or allowed

I had TPG adsl a few years ago, they had strange routes.

I would do a trace from uni/home home/uni and it would go through QLD. I live in VIC.

The FTTN was better, and then I had to move. Kill me.

if the regular route out of the country is congested, of course it's going to go via some other leg. that's what dynamic routing is.

Is that ADSL?

yep.

HFC NBN middle of next year, maybe.

why would you ever need tech support for your internet?
Are you a literal fucking retard?

literally, 99% of Tier 1 calls are power on and off your device...

I get the same speed. My NBN date is the 21st of December but that's still on the estimated sheet Telstra's site. So probably 2019.

My net is okay, I'm with telstra in a rural town, $70 a month for unlimited 17mb down 4 up, when i first got the net you could only get 250gb, then they bumped it up to 500 for free when netflix came around, then they bumped it to 1tb and now unlimited and i dont pay anymore, allows me to down and upload music on soulseek all day

not a terrible plan.

people with narrow perspectives always compare countries like south korea and their internet speed with australia or the USA. it's like, well, the entirety of south korea is the size of a quarter of NSW, geographically, and has 3 to 4x the population of australia

That is absolutely horrible. That's such a dumb excuse. The entire city of Geelong has 100mbit up AND down connections with 1TB limits.

70 dollars a month for 17mb down 4mb up is literally worse than 3rd world tier. It is absolutely mind-boggling hat anyone would defend this in a first world country. The size of our cities are small enough that we can roll out decent internet. What is wrong with you.

Why do you need TV? Do you still watch tv in 2018?

Our companys IT support is based in SA and holy shit understanding that accent over some shitty phone connection is a pain (and I lived in SA for 2 years)

i live 900 km from the nearest city, what can i do?

Start digging a trench and lay some cables.

>this
Even rural areas in eastern europe now have 500/500 for less than $20 a month

romania or something?

Paying 50 for 500/500 unlimited. The only thing good about Singapore possibly.

Monopolies is the end game of capitalism

the reason i use telstra is their proven reliable international peering through both america and asia. i regularly get over 100mbit from foreign locations and low latency to SEA.

When i lived with my parents on optus they literally flipped a switch at 4pm until 2am that limited international bandwidth to 500k every day. all traffic also goes through san jose so pings to singapore are like 400ms

tpg may be as good as telstra in this regard but i doubt it. the enemy you know...

fucking this, been with the cunts for a year after iinet and telstra and couldn't be happier (unless they drop the prices of the 150 and 250mbps plans)

and what do cunts make in a month there?
