On the topic of broardband. Telstra charges me $255 a month for unlimited phone Foxtel with 2 boxes and unlimited internet at up to 100mbps.
I get mabee 30 sometimes mostly under 5mbps.
Check out the speed test screen shots.
I have complained but you know how that works. I can't wait to get nbn.

Fwiw, as a comparison. This is my ADSL connection, keeping in mind it's after midnight when tested. Apologies for rubbing in a bit of salt [emoji6]

I'm currently staying in a very small country town, over 2 hours drive from London.

Australian "Broadband" sucks.

my daughter was happy with her net and foxtel through telstra then a year ago the NBN was connected into her house (literally) so they switched but stayed with telstra and now their internet is ******* hopeless.

great work telstra, thought it was supposed to be better but as usual one step forward and two steps back ( yep i told her to flick them and go with someone else) useless bunch of dickwads

"Up To"
If you're on copper (and usually even on Hybrid connections), the problem you most likely have is you're a fair distance from the exchange and you're having a decent amount of signal loss/line noise and your speed drops by the time the signal gets to you
This is a technology failure, not a Telstra failure

Telstra don't own or control the NBN (well, through force they do...), your gripe is with NBN Co

Sitting at work and just realised I pitched 1 rehydrated packet of notto into a 1.070 extra stout :/
Hopefully it hasn't really kicked off yet and when I get home this afternoon I'll rehydrate the pack of windsor I have in the fridge to help it along

Not quite true.

If Telstra have congestion out to the "real world" then the prob is with Telstra

NBN backhauls to the POI's are pretty good. We vary rarely have issues with the NBN network, but if our aggregation link to the WWW is not enough then it will slow speeds.

The main issues are backhauls from the POI's ( which is not NBN responsability ) and the link to the WWW ( again not NBN )

Telstra are basically running out of bandwidth ( except if your a business or corporate customer, but expect to pay big $$ ) and the fact that they dont have much wiggle room part of the network fails

Telstra aren't the only ones with the links, TPG, PIPE and a few others have them too, but we're not blaming them

Y'all think your internet is slow. Try living on a farm trying to run a business.
