    I was on 100/40 FTTC business but upgraded to 1000/50 (home) FTTP for free. Recently, Aussie Broadband dropped the price to $129/month.
    I am happy with the speed and have a good reliable connection. I just wish that we pay half the price like they do in other countries.🤷‍♂️

    Pat, I think the RSP's will try and pass on some sort of costs to the consumers. The RSP's will be the winners because they get this at no cost to them but no doubt the RSP's are going to spin it in such a way that they need to pass on a cost of handling all of the extra traffic etc etc b/s.

    I was one of the many that left NBN with the new pricing done recently, to be told my crappy FTTN connection of 50/20 will rise but the people on 100/20 get a price cut. What a slap in the face. After talking to my RSP and trying to understand the logic they explained its to try and get customers to bump up to the next speed tier, great idea, IF NBN FTTP WAS AVAILABLE IN MY AREA, sadly the upgrade to FTTP isn't until mid 2025.
    Now what did I do, I found out that Telstra 5G is available in my area and at the same price that my crappy 50/20 was just raised to, I am happily on 5G and until I see NBN actually do something they say they will I will NOT be returning to such a useless company.
    These new speeds, wow amazing, however these are what Australians should have had from day 1 of NBN not many years later, once again Australia is years behind the rest of the world.
    Goodluck to those that will get these speeds is and when they come out.

    • @user-oe1nt4pp8n
      @user-oe1nt4pp8n 6 місяців тому

      Yes, the idea is to push consumers to double their speed to increase national standards and world rankings. The price jump is around $5-10 on alternative providers other than bigtelco like Telstra or Optus. 5G is great for most consumers that don't video conference or game online.

      The reason it takes forever is because NBN have a lot of departments that handle different things. A technician isn't legally allowed to dig for example, so these minor inconveniences are sorted out by the civil team which can't start work until a contract is approved which may involve council permits etc... Your 6 month delay must mean its a complex job which usually involves contract and council approval. This planning, booking of teams and construction takes weeks to months. I highly doubt NBN is that backlogged, so it usually isn't a shortage of workers. 6 months is the ETA, but the job is usually done before that. NBN overestimate their ETAs every time.

    seems RSPs complain about the tiers but are cutting other services. What is the point of the RSP if there is nothing they do apart from routing our data from one point to another. Emails now have to be handled by another party. Web hosting will be no more. Internode will be lost to the monopoly. Internode had a lot of things going for it but now seems the same as the rest, just offering a dial in point to the internet and nothing else and will soon disappear altogether. If that is the case just let NBN do the lot. Pricing is set by NBN anyway. About upload speeds the heads of state do not seem to want us to build a better industry where cloud based products can be handled better. Home office would be more viable and new industries can be made. Australia still stuck in the dialup mentality days.

    • @StingyGeek

    I'm on 100/40. I really feel that upload capacity on NBN is grossly neglected. While I'd probably move to 500/50 as it's an all-around upgrade (and possibly a little cheaper), the ratio of down/up speeds is poor - even worse than the existing 100/20. 500 down really deserves 100mbit upload minimum, preferably 200-250. The fact that 750-1000mbit plans also are also probably only 50mbit up as well, or 100mbit "best case" on gigabit services, is really disappointing.
    So, yeah. Overall, can't complain, it's more for less, and it's less friction for those wanting to move to FTTP. Just .. Gah. Upload! It matters!
    Edit: Honestly, in addition to the above, they should piss off 100/20, and make 50/20 and 100/40 the basic / budget plans. If not 50/20 as your "entry level" then at worst a 25/10 as the sort of thing for super budget uses (People only using it for VoIP or other low-bandwidth applications .. Pensioners, business remote sites (eg warehouses), etc). Get rid of 12/1 entirely.
