Hi guys. I want to see if there's anybody on FTTH (Fiber to the Home) or FTTP (to the Premise) who may be experiencing congestion issues with their selected ISP.

Here's what you need to contribute — a computer connected via Ethernet cable (or very strong Wifi connection, preferably Wireless AC)
A web browser that has latest version of Flash (v23)

Then please upload your stats in the format below:

Example:

My speedtest with NuSkope ISP

(Peak Hour, 5PM)

23.86 mb Download, 4.75 mb Upload with Microsoft Edge Browser, Flash version 23
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5743136959

Plan Details
FTTP / Tier 2 speeds, 25 MB download, 5 MB upload, Unlimited quota @ $67.95 a month

The purpose of this experiment is to see which ISP's are the best / worse when it comes to peak hour congestion. So far, based on conjecture and readings on WP, is that

Hypothesis 1: ISPs who offer unlimited plans at a very cheap price may seem to offer the best value in terms of speed, quota and $ per gigabyte, but they also seem to cop many complaints about network performance issues. Probably one of the main downsides of getting a 'cheap ride' is that once you offer Unlimited plans, there will be users who abuse that and download terabytes of data a month, spoiling it for everyone else who might be on the same network since they're essentially hogging all the bandwidth. Some of the worst offenders are Exetel and TPG, whose customers don't seem to be getting the speeds they paid for and are experiencing latency issues.

Hypothesis 2: Premium ISP's who reject the idea of providing Unlimited Plans and who charge up to 25 percent more than the going market rate for NBN Plans seem to be highly praised amongst a small subset of users who can afford to pay perhaps around $80~100 a month (an example being SkyMesh, who arguably charges the most per GB for their plans and do not offer any sort of bundles or Unlimited usage quotas). The Question is, are Premium ISP's like Skymesh worth your coin, whether if paying the extra also means getting better internet?

    I'm on Telstra's slower 1TB cable plan, not NBN. I'm happy with 36mbps down - don't need more just yet. But 1mbps up sucks and I'm not paying $20/month to go to 2mbps. If I want to upload something I'm better off connecting to a prepaid broadband dongle.

      For others looking at going with telstra, remember to call up and haggle. We got a $20 credit applied every month, plus speedboost to 114/2 for $10pm

      • devinadalovely on 05/11/2016 - 08:43

        Hi cheesecake, could you elaborate? We have $89 plan 200GB + 200gb bonus for signup but it was slower than cable and pay $20 pm for speedboost giving 100/40mps. Thanks.

        • cheesecactus on 05/11/2016 - 13:47

          Hell even without haggling you can get 1tb for $95 or $99 a month (depending on if you want Telstra tv and phone calls)

  • l0r0de0 on 27/10/2016 - 14:57

    Isn't the op after people suffering congestion? Just a bunch of showoffs in here

    • scrimshaw on 27/10/2016 - 17:03

      They may still be valid data points. Though, the showoffs with Cable or using Gigabit business fiber are skewing the results.

      That is why I want people to mention how much they're paying each month and on what type of Tier (speed) they are subscribed to.

        Sorry for skewing your results.

        It was just me trying to show everyone that there is a faster and cheaper alternative to NBN, and also a bit political about how far behind we are thanks to the government screwing around for so long that there is a faster and cheaper alternative available already… OK I'll shut up now.

  • Gershom on 27/10/2016 - 15:23

    Non of this is relevant unless you also know what speed people are paying for. I pay Telstra for 25/5 and get 24.8/4.8. If I paid for 100/25 I would get a lot faster obviously. This "survey" is meaningless drivel. Sheesh!

    • Pacify on 27/10/2016 - 15:58

      Not at all, it tells you how close the ISPs get to their listed speeds for that plan during peak times. You are missing the bit where he says to say what plan you are on……

      • Gershom on 28/10/2016 - 10:04

        You're right, I did miss that. Now I would feel silly if I were normal.

  • Pacify on 27/10/2016 - 15:57

    I've been on both Skymesh and Aussie Broadband 100/40 plans in WA, $89 for 240+12tb for skymesh and $75 for 500gb for aussiebroadband.

    Skymesh local speeds do not drop below 90/35 at any time of the day (I've done a ton of speed tests when I had it), and aussie usually stays between 85 and 95 down and 35 up. Neither have any real local congestion, but Skymesh was having some issues with their international speeds, with EU and USA severs sometimes being a bit crap

    • Sira on 27/10/2016 - 19:51

      Interesting I'm also in WA and might look to switch on the back of that review

      • Pacify on 27/10/2016 - 20:21

        I'm not sure how skymesh international speeds have been like last couple of months, it was a bit annoying trying to stream from american servers. Other than that they are pretty great, though definitely more expensive compared to some

        • XeKToReX on 28/10/2016 - 21:21

          They have identified the issue and Telstra are working to get all of it resolved for then!

        • Pacify on 28/10/2016 - 21:24

    I am on FTTB (apartment complex) with Myport (they are reselling Telstra NBN.) Anyway, during peak hours I get horrendous pings of 160ms and get a download speed of ~5mbps, and if I test in the morning I get 5ms ping and ~90mbps download speed. I am not impressed with the congestion at all.

  • nickj on 27/10/2016 - 16:36

    Internode 50/20 plan with 500 GB data, on FTTB NBN, $85/month including VoIP phone line.
    Getting 9 ms ping, 47.19 Mbps down, 18.51 Mbs up, at ~4:20 PM today:
    http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5748886080

    Initially I was on the 100/40 plan, which is the connection I would ideally use, but the typical speedtest results were:
    9ms ping, 82.77 Mbps download, 32.59 Mbps upload.

    That was too far from 100 Mbps to be worth paying the extra $10/month for (I look it as I get 94% of what I'm paying for at 50/20, but only 83% at 100/40), plus at 50/20 that's about the max speed that the servers I download from can go anyway (i.e. there is no noticeable difference between 100/40 and 50/20 for my usage). The phone line is not great (used to drop out quite a lot when it was on ADSL, and get static during voice calls sometimes, but never got anywhere with getting Telstra to fix it, no matter how many times I tried), so that's probably why it's not closer to 100 Mbps down. Sooner we collectively ditch copper phone cable for the last connection and go Ethernet/fibre all the way, the better.

    • scrimshaw on 27/10/2016 - 17:00

      The issue is that as fiber networks roll out, the congestion problem will continue to abate and might even worsen.

      That's assuming that the RSP's are not upgrading their backhaul in response to the increase in the number of fiber customers.
      hopefully they are not too greedy and are just increasing their revenue without spending money on network upgrades

    By the way, it's mainly your ISP limiting bandwidth.
    My result seems nice, but if I keep downloading at full speed during peak hours, my speed soon drop to ~5Mbps or less.
    If I download in off-peak hours there's no throttling at all.

    Plan: FTTP 12/1mbps $49.95

    I think for the most part, you get what you pay for with ISPs, particularly with a service like NBN where they're all buying the connection from the same wholesaler. ISPs that are really cheap are either spending less on things like customer support and advertising, or they're splitting their fixed bandwidth across more users, which would cause peak speeds to drop.

    I think the speed drops are probably more of an issue for those on faster HTTP plans. Back in 2012 I had a 100/40mbps Transact FTTP connection with a small ISP, and they literally didn't have enough bandwidth to support a service that fast.

    43 mbps down / 37.9 up, 6 ms ping.

    I'm on a 5/5 bar strength wireless AC connection. With a wired test It's actually not that different, maybe a fraction faster. I've had high 90's download, but as you can imagine, its the wee hours of morning of around midday when there's little activity in the neighbourhood. Hope that helps.

    50/20 on Optus NBN - get full speed 24/7 (in Townsville).

    Was with DevotedNBN before and it was shit, terrible congestion every night.

    Swapped to Optus and smooth sailing since, full speed on international links too, tested daily via Usenet sourced from USA and Scandinavian servers.

    • scrimshaw on 27/10/2016 - 21:15

      Yes, I am still on Devoted's old unlimited plan (grandfathered), even on 25/5 Tier 2 connection my speeds were actually around 16 mbps, which is pretty crap if you think about it.

      Now that Devoted has been taken over by NuSkope, the story has changed and I'm now getting what I paid for. Once i move houses though, they will increase my monthly bills from $67 to $80 a month.

    • hypie on 28/10/2016 - 01:27

      I have Cable with Speed Boost as well, and I felt like the NBN might cause some issues. But it could potentially keep the download speeds and improve the upload. Plus the bonus of having cheaper alternatives to switch to (ISP's).

      My speeds are identical. So we might be neighbours.

      Also in my area they are doing something called Hybrid Fibre Coaxial. Which I think just means, use the existing cable.

    I am on TPG Fibre (Pet hate is when people spell it Fiber, we aren't American) and I pretty much get a constant 94/38 and at my old Home I had Cable and used to get about 115-118/2.

    I've lost a little download and gained a massive amount of upload, and unlimited downloads.

    The most I have done in 1 month was 3.2TB and that was when I updated my Xbox One to a One S for myself and my nephew and redownloaded all our games back on both systems.

    Had to use speedtest-cli on my router since my computer kept giving me weird readouts.

    This is good to see results in different areas but it should not be used as a broad judgement across the board on RSP's. Each RSP in an active Nbn area has a different CVC so the experience in 1 suburb could be completely different compared to another. You get what you pay for.

    All providers are providing NBN from NBN network, so I think speed should be same from all providers. Get the best deal from a provider.

    Check nbn connection status. Showing below message for quite a while now. Anyone has ideas how to find out what's going on?

    "The nbn™ network is available in your area.

    Additional work is still required in order to make your address ready to connect to the nbn™ network."

    This is kind of pointless. NBN operates 121 Points-of-Interconnect around the country, and each ISP is required to provision bandwidth at each of these PoI's in order to serve customers via the NBN there.

    An ISP might have provisioned more than enough bandwidth at 30 of the PoIs and just enough at 70 and nowhere near enough at the remaining 21. So you'll get responses that show that Skymesh/TPG/Aussie Broadband/Nuskope is great for one person in one part of Vic and terrible for someone in another part.

    There's literally too many variables involved with this for you to get an accurate result or picture of which ISPs have provisioned enough bandwidth. :(

    speed from speed tests are rigged. they give no indication to how fast actual downloads will be

    • scrimshaw on 29/10/2016 - 18:25

      Neither does any speed test from one certain website, but it's good enough that i get the upper boundary (or maximum achievable speed).

    • Hahuh on 30/10/2016 - 01:53

      I find the biggest problem with the Speedtest app (one by Ookla) is the leeway they give servers. Some are utter crap that the app auto selects so a second or third test is required for a accurate result

  • catbrain on 29/10/2016 - 18:34

    OP, you should also have a look at the NBN speed test results on Whirlpool

  • happyjoyjoy007 on 29/10/2016 - 21:17

    Great thread, i've been tracking and logging my NBN performance in detail for over 2 years, and I get blatant congestion, like clockwork, from the hours of 8.00pm-11pm nightly, speeds drop by half. I'm with Internode.

    Appreciate people posting results, however the majority of people are posting up speedtests run prior to 6pm at night and calling it Peak Time, which is not the case. Peak time is actually 8pm+ when everyone has finished dinner and is streaming Netflix/HBO/Hulu/iView etc
    So I'd love to see more posts of tests run during that 8pm-11pm bracket, as this is where i've seen the huge congestion hit, particularly in the last 18months since streaming TV (Netflix) has boomed.

    Cheers all.

      ive been gaming since 5 pm lol

      my first isp on nbn was iprimus and it was unusable for gaming from 5 pm till about 1 am high pings and cut in half speeds.
      put up with it for a week then called next day and signed up to a different isp which was tpg been with then for 17 months now.

      you shouldn't accept that bullshit.
      nbn takes a day or two to get connected max you can get a new isp connected first also before you cancel current one.
