What's Your Lowest Latency ISP on FTTP NBN?

CtrlAltSpoods on 28/05/2019 - 10:27

Hi all,

I am about to move into a new house that has FTTP, in the past I was set up by NBN on the shitty PtMP wireless solution, and got about 5mb down during busy periods with 100+ms ping (always) on a 50mb plan. (This was with MyRepublic)

However, as I am moving my contract happens to be expiring and I am looking for an ISP that can supply the advertised speeds with the lowest latency. (Heavy gamer)

What have peoples experiences been in regards to getting low ping on FTTP? I expect the results should be good in theory, but want to know if some ISPs perform better than others.

If it makes any difference I am located in Adelaide.

Regards,
Drayton95 :)

    Pay a little more for a decent service like Aussie Broadband rather than scrimping 5-10 dollars a month on an low traffic priority provider.

    The rest is all arbitrary and relevant to your location, setup, equipment, exchange, etc. Everyone else's stats are irrelevant.

    • CtrlAltSpoods on 28/05/2019 - 11:21

      Yeah I'm definitely willing to pay a bit extra if it means a better service. Not worth saving 10 bucks a month for a shoddy service with no support.

      I remember years ago the family went with one of Dodo's "Cheap unlimited plans" back in the adsl days and it was the worst plan ever, slow speeds and horrible ping 150+ made Modern Warfare 2 on the 360 impossible to play lmao, ahh 2009, good times

    For gaming, you'd probably want to go with ABB, Telstra, TPG or potentially Exetel.

    ABB would be my suggestion.

    FTTP on Aussie Broadband

    • CtrlAltSpoods on 28/05/2019 - 11:18

      That is some nice ping I have to say, will definitely consider Aussie Broadband!
      Thank you

    Best I've seen is 13ms… but that's what you get being 500km away from the nearest capital city.

    Still, Aussie has been otherwise flawless, and I've got all our work connections with them as well.

      I've only seen good things about Aussie Broadband so far, I think they might get the cake. :)

      Which ISP are you with?

        telstra bigpond

    Which server are you guys testing against to come up with those figures? Really should use one test server for comparison. A server in AU vs USA is going to be vastly different.

    Anyway here is mine. Also with ABB……

    Ping statistics for 127.0.0.1:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
    Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

      lol

      Same results for me too! Maybe I should route my entire connection through there!

    • CtrlAltSpoods on 28/05/2019 - 12:08

      I generally test against the Sydney servers as that is where most game servers seem to be hosted.
      Either Internode or Vocus generally, unless someone knows of a better company to test against?

    My republic routes all traffic through Sydney so everyone outside of Sydney will have High ping with them (was with them for over a year and was always shocked to see people else ware from Sydney having high ping, mine was always under 5)

    First month with then and so far it's been decent for the price.

      It was certainly dissapointing having them advertise gaming plans with all the fancy routing they boast about, then ending up getting everything routed via another state.

      It's not optimal for other cities at all.

        Great thing with FTTP is how fast connections happen and the fact that you can have multiple at once, with this in mind make sure no matter what that whoever you go with you it's not a contract. That's why im not worried who i sign with cause i can cancel it and sign end of the month with someone else or cancel and sign up right now with someone else (this option just cost's more)

        If you do go with Aussie broadband be sure to call them and opt out of CGnat if you are gaming as you said.
