I’d rather deal with them than those dickless feckless thoughtless prickless MF from Telstra! 8 months ago I applied for services, I’ve jumped through hoops, filled out countless forms, as soon as we had approved plans. last week they said it was going to engineering, they rang me on Monday and said, ‘NBN will be in that street in April so we won’t be doing it” ar3 you $£$%^%%$ kidding me! So after I cool down I ring NBN they direct me to the form, I fill it in, in 5 min flat, and it’s half the cost. Apparently they are ahead of schedule, hopefully, the factories will be ready in a month.

As for speed, Telstra is my only option right now, and they are bloody awful. Surely surely NBN can’t be worse?



NBN could be a Lot Worse

I'm with a local company down my way who has it's own wireless network.

Just ran a Telstra speed test and was getting around 20Mbps.

That'll do me.

Do any of you skype or hangout? When has it worked well for you and when has it not? [e.g. have you found it correlated with the down/upload speeds?]

I just learnt there's also a rival called Zoom. As far as I can see, the advertised minimum and recommended bandwidth is modest for all of them [e.g. for 1:1 video calling: 600kbps (up/down) for HQ video and 1.2 Mbps (up/down) for HD video], so when there's trouble perhaps that's not the issue...

Hmm....

I'm up at Toc at the moment, using my wifi only tablet connected to Telstra Air, which is free WIFI for Telstra broadband customers. Pretty shit speed <1mbs but enough for browsing. Works better when there's no mexican terrorists up here.

well, I'm hanging out for nbn after having to cope with adsl for the past couple of months. Not sure how a 30 odd year old suburb 15 minutes from the cbd missed out on cable? Confused
