Speedy internet!

Telstra fucked me over and swapped me over to 100/20 from the 100/40 plan I had

That's the NBN's doing. No consumer 100/40 plans anymore. If you see them, it's the RSP using a faster product with shaping

charged me $25 extra per month for the privilege.

That is 100% Telstra

Ahh that makes sense, but yeah the cost change was the big thing.. like it should be cheaper if anything

You on FTTP Nutty?

[nutty]

HFC, had heaps of problems early on but I just kept logging tickets until a NBN dude came out, he reterminated all the joins from accross the road to my house, and its been rock solid ever since

[norbs]

Anyone surprised?

It's not incompetence, it's Malice. Do as daddy Murdoch says, or get shit canned.

Im not defending the Liberals, but I wonder how far over budget Labour's NBN would have been?

I guess we'd all have FTTP by now.

[norbs]

A couple of submarines worth

I can't recall much being on budget in my lifetime.

A couple of submarines worth

Which ones mate? The French ones we prob need to pay a load for and never get, or the AUKUS ones that are coming in 2040 for a huge amount over budget?

Brilliant, I inch closer to something that resembles decent modern internet connection and have to go out and spend another $500 for the privilege of fewer drop outs.

Hi Todd Baker,

Starting from the end of January 2022, NBN is planning on rolling out an upgrade to all Fibre to the Node (FTTN) and Fibre to the Building (FTTB) connections.

NBN will introduce two new functions to FTTN and FTTB services called Save Our Showtime (SOS) and Robust Overhead Channel (ROC). These new functions are designed to improve the stability of your connection and help prevent dropouts.

As a result of the upgrade, some customers may no longer be able to use their current modem if it is not compatible with the planned upgrades, or they may see their service degrade and their speeds slow.

Sadly we'll never know. What we do know is their one was independently verified 4 times and was on track cost wise.

I just got my laser beams installed to the premises. Termination and setup will take place late next month as I asked for a specific day for them to install.

Gonna be stoked to finally drop this 900/1000m copper run!

I'm very jealous. I've got 850m of copper
