        no this modem is superior its the Telstra 5G Internet Modem 2, people are confusing it with the Telstra Smart Modem 3 which is for fixed line services…

    I got one last month when it was "first month free". When it works it's 10 times faster than I was getting on fixed line. Has fairly regular dropouts - at least every few days. Customer service was abysmal - they cancelled my order without even emailing me. I only found out when I hadn't received the modem (after an email that it was coming within 5 days). Don't deal with online if you can avoid it - head into a store.

      Telstra CS is the worst. No one knows anything. I have a whole trail of chats and calls trying to get my internet fixed. Then when I tried to cancel because nothing was working, they couldn't cancel it. I got several confirmation emails/numbers that my internet was cancelled but it wasn't and they kept charging me. For about 5 months they had to refund me internet charges bc of how incompetent they were.

    • DemocracyManifest on 08/07/2023 - 20:42

      I've tried it a couple of times - totally fine those times, but last month it was abysmal. Kept dropping out multiple times a day. Same issue with my belong sim in the Telstra Smart Modem 3

          5G is using Carrier Grade NAT and can give you a strict NAT while gaming and break remote access to Plex, select security camera systems, servers, home automation, networked printers and more.

          Stay on nbn FTTP for best latency. ISPs on nbn can turn off Carrier Grade NAT if you need remote access or get a strict NAT while gaming.

The cheese company got spooked by their name that had nothing to do with 'coons' (started by Edward William Coon), but I'm sure they won't be using LGBT folks to sell their brand. Although you never know, with folks like you egging them on they might go full woke and completely tank their brand.

                            They didn't get spooked. They wanted to change the name because they did market research and found they would sell more cheese with a new name. The ❄️ who were so angry about a company rebranding really had no impact in the end.

                            I didn't egg them on, because I like most people don't care about a company rebranding. 🧀🧀

    It's just silly how they restrict people (and you know why) because it's clearly not reception as I get range on my mobile modem (Telstra) and phone and even Vodafail has 5G. But my home address is ineligible.

    • SimAus007 on 05/07/2023 - 10:41

      It's not silly, each 5G cell can only handle so much data before it begins to slow down for everyone, that's how 5G contention works.
      A lot of fixed Home 5G services downloading a lot of data on a single cell slows down that cell for everyone on it.

  • [Deactivated] on 05/07/2023 - 10:31

    Anyone with 5G game? Is there a huge difference? It's not like I get great speeds with NBN.

  • sd on 05/07/2023 - 10:35

    I had a FTTN with Aussiebroadband for a while (25 MBPS, laggy in evenings), when the free FTTP was announced, jumped on it for 100MBPS speeds, now things are lot worse for some reason, I get 10MBPS speeds usually, lots of dropouts so meetings are very rough now. It's a shock as I have moved from FTTN to FTTP (fiber to the home) and its done considerably worse. Aussie broadband have not been as helpful, asking me to move my router which has been consistently good for a number of years.

    So I was looking for an alternate, will give this a try for a month and if this works, will stick to this. Will actually be cheaper than Aussie Broadband FTTP, so keen to test this out. I do a bit of gaming as well so will give those numbers too. Currently I am at about 20ms for most Oceania servers.

      • sd on 06/07/2023 - 09:14

        My speed doesn't say so, its barely 10MBPS. If I want 100MBPS speed, the cost will be $100+, 5G higher speed (telstra is claiming 300MBPS) is cheaper, why bother with NBN really. If 5G is consistent, I am happy to ditch NBN fully. Obviously it will need testing so lets see how telstra goes next few months.

        • nomadspartan on 06/07/2023 - 11:29

          If you're motivated by cost then yeah, 5G will be cheaper and it would make sense to switch. Reading your comment made me think that you were keen to move to 5G due to internet stability issues despite having the best internet technology. If you're getting 10mpbs while being on 100Mbps plan then somethings definitely wrong that it should be worthwhile trying to fix the connection rather than having a dodgy NBN connection. Best to fix it while it's still "new" so to speak.

      Join Launtel using their $0 7-day trial to compare speeds and if the dropouts still exist. The Aussie BB service won't get disconnected. Long term Superloop and Leaptel have better nbn deals for price to speed ratio than Aussie BB.

      What router do you have? Is your router plugged into the nbn NTD or do you have another router in-between?

      • sd on 06/07/2023 - 09:14

        Aussie is supposed to be as good as any and it's still not great. Happy to try Telstra at this stage and see how I go. I can always go back to NBN.

          +1

          Normally you get good speeds with Aussie BB and FTTP. Launtel can get you up and running in as little as 20 minutes for $0. This tells you if there is speed problems in your area with Aussie BB, a problem with the nbn side of things or your router.

          5G is using Carrier Grade NAT and has higher latency which isn't as good for gaming. Carrier Grade NAT can give you a strict NAT while gaming and break remote access to Plex, select security camera systems, servers, home automation, networked printers and more.

          Stay on FTTP for best latency. ISPs on nbn can turn off Carrier Grade NAT if you need remote access or get a strict NAT while gaming.

          100/20 is $100 or more with Aussie BB and Telstra. Superloop and Leaptel have 100/20 for $69 and $75 a month. Superloop have 1000/50 for $99 a month.

    I'm currently on Telstra FTTP, the 250/25 @ 140 per month. It's rock solid and has been for years. I am very close to a 5G cell and the speeds I see for 5G on my phone are usually 500+/50+ up. I don't use over 1000 GB a month. Not a gamer so latency isn't a major issue. This is very tempting, mainly to increase the upload speed and it's way cheaper, however I don't know what restrictions there are around VPN usage etc - anyone know what the router interface is like?

    • RENERO on 05/07/2023 - 13:17

    I had this setup before. Heads up - the 5G is only for downloads, uploads go over the 4G network. So this is no good for gaming.

    In fact, I had lower pings when I dropped back to 4G/4G vs this 5G/4G hybrid.

    I tried this at the beginning of the year and unfortunately it just wasn’t stable for me. I live in Melbourne CBD so it could be because of a lot of traffic even though I’m right across the road from a 5g tower.

    I would check your speeds and latency as I’m not sure if 5g is the best for gaming as i would get dropouts and packet loss. This is great speeds if you're just streaming. Ps Telstra support sucks and i was given the run around for troubleshooting the whole month.
