Try looking at Aussie Broadband. You can build plan to suit your needs.

You've gone from one of the slowest to possibly one of the fastest ARSE!

What kind of NBN connection do you have?petey wrote:Well that was an easy decision, was already thinking of switching to aussie broadband. Just signed up now. Let's see what we get!
EDIT: Short lived, the email that came through from the order showed 50/20 plan. So called the sales team and she said I must not be able to get the higher speed plan. Staying where I am for now then I guess.

EDIT: On a side note, calling at 8pm on a saturday night and getting some very helpful people on the phone that were able to make shit happen and have a conversation with was fantastic. Highly recommend them.
On the otherside I called telstra to cancel after my service migrated and spent 20 mins to be told they couldn't do anything. I will likely have to follow up in a few days, since I haven't selected a voip service the Telstra rep told me that telstra would start to charge for my phone line seperate since it's part of the bundle (which I didn't want). When I asked to cancel that he said it was not possible until the other service migrated, just useless.
Ive gone with Aussie BB and have selected the 100/20 connection. Im pretty certain I wont be able to achieve those speeds and will need to move down but I wanted to see how close ill get before moving.NeilPearson wrote:the good thing about Aussie Broadband is they wont sell you a product you cant use, ie a 100/20 if your line can only do 50/20.
I'd advise getting this fixed up sooner, rather than later. A star wired or daisy chained set of sockets inside a house can cause drop outs and lower sync speeds. If you end up with multiple disconnects, the NBN will blame your internal cabling first.KNAPPO wrote:I know my phone line is split so that will effect it a bit, will get that sorted out after hook up.

If the micro node is between your house and the node, there is a fair chance you'll be connected to it. 300m away, you "should" hit 100mbps. Mind you, the underground cables doesn't always follow the most logical path.KNAPPO wrote:Main node is 900m from the home but we have a mini node on our street thats 270-300m from our house so im hoping we get connected to that.
Based on the above, you should hit it no worries. Thanks to the choice in technology, you won't go faster until they upgrade to FTTP.KNAPPO wrote:Ive gone with Aussie BB and have selected the 100/20 connection.

Monday they are scheduled to connect but I think that's at the node. I've been told that I'm not required to be home.r8response wrote:I'd advise getting this fixed up sooner, rather than later.
