My house hade the choice if 4g, adsl or satellite witch ping would be 2 second. Adsl is 6Mbps when down the street some of my Nambours got nbn to the premises
I'm on nbn fixed wireless and the nbn equipment was upgraded about 2 weeks ago Im getting 95 down 5 up The download is not bad considering theres trees in the way hey?
I'm on fixed wireless, could barely get above 30mbps. After NBN scheduled maintenance, I've hit 80mbps, and after 7:00 pm still doesn't drop below 60. After what I've been getting the last couple years, I'm satisfied with these speeds. Hopefully NBN will continue to make further upgrades and allow for greater capacity.
ok great aj...my download has always been ok but upload is terrible at around 5mbps. Not good if you want to live stream etc. what is your upload speed ?
damn some pretty good results here for nbn wireless... but I've given up on it. Years of promised upgrades but our area remains with extreme congestion gettin 20/5 during absolute perfect conditions at 2 in the morning to early morning, anything after that was pityful
@@Robroscob it's really cheap at the moment, with their current promotion you essentially get the hardware for free. It looks like they're being really aggressive on expanding in Australia these past few months is why. Normally it's 900 for the hardware not including shipping, but atm it's 450, includes shipping cost, and if you sign up with the adverts on Facebook that mentions it includes 2 months of service as well your laughing for a free trial. Big warning though, you need to make sure you have a good place to put it, it really does need a good clear view of the sky to work without interruptions, or it's pretty terrible experience when doing anything like gaming or live calling. This could become the biggest extra cost... Your lovely trees being cut down by a professional (upwards of 500 plus a job)... Or a nice big mount diy or installed might set you back 100-1500 Bux depending on what you need to get that good clear sky view for it
Mate exactly wat ive been looking for thankyou for taking the time to make this content as im also on ADSL2+ WITH telstra and have just received my Aussiebroadband fixed wireless modern and with max of 9mbps down and max of 0.4 up im sure as hell goung to tell the difference in my online gaming,well i hope i do as i keep getting kicked from servers because of high ping of 400 to 700 and thats in rooms with a 22ms connection its doing my head in and is frusterating as hell
this test was in winter when the trees in front of me had no leaves. i actually switched to Aussiebroadband a couple of months after doing this video. I get download of about 30-50 but my upload is maxed out at about 5.5. People (experts?) tell me it is the trees right in front of my antenna that is my problem. Thick bushy trees in the way. It is an improvement from adsl2 though so good luck mate.
@@Robroscob mate 5.5 is better then my 0.4 it took me 3 days to diwnload 197gig and 5 hours for 4.9 gig as i like to play online shooters and we all know upload is what we need and great quality video by the way ill be watching plenty more of your content and i really appreciate the repky as theres not many people who spend the rime to do it,there onmy worried about getting there ugly mugs on youtube
Thanks for this video I live in the Outback of WA and adsl2 as I'm sure you already know is total crap and this video has really helped me on my decision of getting Fixed wireless, Thank you.
I live about 70km west of Brisbane and have fixed wireless with Aussie. I get about 65mbps down and 22 up pretty consistently. Towers and connection might've improved since this video went up
Usable for ssh, remote coding and the occasional zoom. I'm looking at heading about 100km out of brisbane too, and need to make sure that remote work is still an option.
yes. i occasionally try live streaming games..if you look for my 'Live' videos on my channel you will see the quality. i also run an online store / business and have lots of wordpress sites also that i update and manage. it is better than my adsl2.
@@Robroscob thank Rob - appreciate it. Yeah, the live streaming looks good to me. Internet latency is the only thing that causing us stress at the moment, but it looks like it will be right by the time we move in. 1.4km to a new tower, and its direct line of sight. Not many ppl living in this town, so it could actually be pretty good if Im lucky. If not ... I guess Ill just change the way I work a bit to code more on the local machine rather than over ssh. We are literally next door to Yowie country, so will be out there having a look too. And loving the Kawasaki Green LC Torana. Used to have a stock one of them with a 186 red motor and trimatic on the tree - awesome car that one :)
@@Robroscob Another 6-7 weeks till we move in - will post an update when its all done. Really looking fwd to it. Be great to see Lina Mint at a Cars n Coffee one day if we are both out that way at the same time :) Restoring a W124 Merc at the moment, and on the hunt for an old Mopar or hot ute if the right one comes up.
We have fixed wireless here where I live and I am with Aussie Broadband, And we get around 65 Download ( Highest I’ve seen it hit was 80 ) and around 6 upload, With the signal always being 3 lights in the nbn box
good for fixed wireless but not great for 2021. i'm also on Aussie now i get similar when the trees have no leaves i get 6-7 upload and 50 down. still not enough for me to livestream at 1080p reliably. Need 10 upload for reliable stream if gaming etc.
@@Robroscob Hello and thanks for the video. A couple of questions for you as we are on fixed wireless with dropouts and slow speeds (especially at peak times). Why did you move away from Tangerine and how are Aussie Broadband going for you? Thanks 🙂 We were previously with Tangerine, have gone to Spintel and still having major problems.
It will be fine if theres nothing in the way. I have trees right near my house as you can see in the video but i am only 1 km away from the tower. try and go for a plan that is pay by the month so you can easily swap to another provider if you are not happy. In this video i was on Tangerine, i am now on Aussiebroadband business plan and getting speeds of up to 70 down and rarely below 40 but my upload is about the same.
no it's NBN property. As soon as you order a plan from a provider theres a checkbox stating if its a new connection (and if you need fixed wireless) if so they organize an installer from NBN to come out first. Once installed it send s a ping back saying live ready to go. I was connected to my plan provider (Tangerine at the time im now on Aussiebroadband) within an hour or two of the installer leaving.
the speed of upload dropped...i don't exactly know why but it was winter when i got connected. the trees right in front of the antennae grew leaves back a couple of months later and the speed dropped... not sure if it makes a difference but aussie is no better with upload..i think NBN co limit it because they assume everyone wants download speed and not upload (i used to livestream). i do get high upload on aussie around 45-55mbps. im on a business plan it now costs me $79 per month. businesses are supposed to get priority service if a problem and i have an online business that i need to manage everyday. ok Phil make sure you subscribe mate. thanks
2463? ...they dont care about you...you're gunna have to move to 2095 where Abbott lives. He blocked high speed internet for us plebs but has got gigabyte fiber for himself.
interesting. just gotta hope you are the only one using this internet with tops 2 devices at once. i knew it would be weak but that's not as bad as i thought.
its an upgrade from my ADSL and it's cheaper so can't complain too much except the fact that ALL Australians where supposed to get fast internet and not those selected few that live in Manly etc
What plan was this? Getting fixed wireless and want the best speed possible to stream games hopefully or at least download stuff quickly. Best plan available is fixed wireless plus, 55mbps download and I'd imagine 10-20 upload as I heard nbn reduced that. Will be about 10km from the tower too. Probably gonna go with Aussie broadband
it's the highest available plan. fixed wireless is maximum 10 upload although it might say different. 10km's from the tower? your max upload will be about 3 and your download about 30 max. let me know if i am wrong when you get it turned on. i am on Aussiebroadband now business plan.. plan is highest speed 79.95 per month getting 30-58 down and upload about 6. i'm less than 1km from the tower. theres no chance you will get close to any of those figures you quoted. ok mate good luck.
yes better than adsl2...my upload to youtube is like 1 hour instead of 10 like before for the same size. problem with the mobile plans is data allowance it's rarely or never unlimited as far as i know. all you need to do is go with a 'by the month' nbn wireless plan and see if it's good. Dont lock anything in for more than a month at a time. let me know the speed when you get it set up.
@@Robroscob yeah for sure. aussie broadband have unlimited data fixed wireless plus 75/10 for $79 a month. They're one of the best isps too. the tower will be 5g, so assuming reception is good, Optus have a 5g unlimited home broadband plan up to 225 mbps for $90 a month
@@Robroscob actually we're just under 8km from the town it's getting built in. Although it has to pass signal through our property to get to the rest of the suburb. So I'd assume we'll be getting close to the speeds promised in the 75/10 plan. Not to mention it's a fresh tower and is probably even closer than the 8km distance
I don't care too much about speeds TBH, I can wait a day to download updates for COD: Cold War, I'm just curious about that ping due to being Wireless... Do you experience much lag putting you at a disadvantage when playing competitive games? or is it tolerable? Please let me know your experiences with this :)
but does it matter?...gotta let everyone know...my signal upload is way down...trees in front have now got leaves and i think they are affecting my signal?
Max speeds possible approx 70mbs down and 10mbs upload. Depends what your provider offers. They should have a higher speed option. You've got decent signal from the out door unit (2 amber lights) so shouldn't be an issue. I'd speak with your provider about getting faster speeds if you need it.
first off i tried tangerine ..the results are in this vid but after a couple of weeks the upload dropped to under 2...changed to aussiebroadband on a business plan the highest possible on fixed wireless. 50/20...with aussie the upload sometimes gets 58 down but upload never past 4 and most of the time its 2.5..right now at 1:46am i will do a test right now...38.83 down / 2.02 up..
yes. but it's probably not unlimited data. correct? price matters to most people. i typically use about 300gb per month at home. this is nbn fixed wireless because fibre or cable is not available ...rural areas cell phones signals usually produce low speeds as well.
yeh...im in a town of only 900 people though so comparing to other smaller Countries with huge population its different.... this is fixed wireless because im in a rural area. some of our cities aren't much better so you are correct
It's very important that people factor in population and environmental factors like landscape when they 'attempt' to make any "comparison" to another country. The worse thing we every did for this country was build the NBN and over promise what is infact possible
@@tmillerau It is easily possible to give every Australian 100Mbps, this has been costed both by the government and independently and our NBN cost more. When your NBN is really a means to funnel government money into a bunch of private entities, it becomes clear why our NBN is awful. The cost comes from delivering the bandwidth to each household; transporting the signal between towns with large distances separating them is typically much cheaper, and bodes well for the ability to deliver FTTP to many households, it's much more difficult in built up areas; though there is obviously a much larger political and fiscal incentive to providing high speed internet to cities, as opposed to rural areas.
