The duality of man, looking for deals to save money on this site while paying exorbitant amounts of money for OF
It's the majority speed that most Australians has per a post by NBN in June.
Whats good to do for nbn 500
I was 500/50 on leaptel, but it's 90 cents cheaper for 750/50
Technically 750/50 is the best value but not everyone offering.
nbn FTTP 500/50.
Speedtest 557/48.
1000/100 hfc
I can tolerate a lot of things but slow internet is not one of them
Been a while since I did a speed test though
I can tolerate a lot of things but slow internet is not one of them
Got to have that instant refresh on ozbargain
I forgot about this thank you kind sir your great deeds will be forgotten.. Because I have the worst memory now.
Indeed. Same speed on HFC with ABB. Speed test last night 844/89.
2000/200 - good for OF at 16k
At that level you will be able to nose hair and dirt between the toes.
1000/100
100/20 FTTB until someone decides we can get a fibre upgrade. Might move before that.
Should list with your survey
Other,.. 4g or 5g or both as substitute to NBN 🤔
Why? The question is about nbn not some freaky other option weirdos use.
Doens't hurt to include it
Ooof. Best to leave those living in the ghetto behind.
Starlink isn't an nbn speed
Does it hurt your feelings to be excluded?
If you don't have NBN then you don't participate in the poll.
1000/100 something something OF
2000/100. Impromptu went with leaptel but realized my xr1000 only has a 1gb wan port. Now on the hunt for a good router that won't break the bank
i got a eero 7 pro on fbmp cheap
GL.iNet Flint 3 @ Amazon AU.
eero Pro 7 @ Leaptel.
1000/50 promo - data cabled my house and upgraded to wifi 7
3 months and the speed was not that amazingswitching to 500/50 to save money :)
reality is most services are limited by the server or device, very few get real benefits from 1000 down (except those that sail the high seas of course). What I always find funny is people that upgrade thinking it will make online gaming faster or better pings.
yes correct, with wifi 7 and ethernet through whole house, my devices all speed test about 940Mbps.
The reality is most servers you steam/download/game from are overseas
I'm tight. Just hotspotting off my mobile, been doing this for almost a decade now :D
Does this kill your battery much? Every time I've hotspotted off my phone they get pretty warm.
I hotspot 1 or 2 devices per time, and hotspot is turned on only when required. As I don't use it for many hours per time I don't really notice the phone heating up, I mean its slightly warmer to touch but phone doesnt warn me or switch me into dark mode. Battery life? I haven't really notcied either as I am usually home and can charge if required.
Fttc 50/20
In townhouse. Pay $75/m :(Seeing all these sweet deals for faster speeds hurt.
HFC 1000/50 (still waiting for it to get bumped up to 1000/100). Pay $74/m
500/50 @ $63/m
Since you are broadcasting the price, who is your provider, and how do you manage to get that pricing?
More
CBA Promo
Same. But my bill is $64.35 (after 35% off with CommBabk Yello Gold).
500/50 @ $64 More. 12 months. cba legacy offer.
MoreNBN here, 500/50, $49.50/month, also Combank offer
Do you have a home loan with CBA?
Yes, it was a 50% off combank offer last year
Have the black friday promo still so $79 for 750/50. Dont need more than 200 tbh but downgrading to 500 would make my discount expire and be more expensive. Back to the churning game once the discount runs out
Have the black friday promo still so $79 for 750/50
Sweet deal. Which promo was this, and which provider are you with?
Superloop, $79/12 months for 250mbps Black Friday deal
I'm on 25/10 …
Would prefer slightly slower if was cheaper.I work 10-12 hours day, 6 days a week … connection sits mostly idle … No longer d/l movies or FTP/NZB.
Even 25/10 handles Netflix with ease.
[EDIT] : Just a reminder … From Netflix site.
Recommended Speeds
Standard Definition (SD): 3 Mbps
High Definition (HD): 5 Mbps
4K Ultra HD (UHD): 25 Mbps or higherThat is PER stream.
I was going to give 2000/100 on HFC a try but to due to network hardware I'm not sure I will see any noticeable improvement. Will need to do a bit of research.
25/10 fttp!!!
100/40 with Launtel fttn and loving it.
Getting fttp this year so I'll be going to their 2000/500 plan then :-)I'm with Launtel too on the 100/20 plan (HFC) and a 10c increase coming soon but no automatic speed bump. I've never had a problem with them, but looks like I'll be shopping around soon….
if you are happy with 100/40 then 1000/100 will be more then enough,just get that and save yourself $600 a year
Moving away from exetel 50/20 to neptune 500/50 in october. So we'll see how that goes.
We had 100/20 FTTC and last week we were upgraded to 500/50 FTTP. (Just ran a speed test and got 445/47)
50/20, as it's free until June 2028 via the School Student Broadband Initiative (and it's fast enough for the family…for now):
https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/media-communications/inter…
25/10 on FTTP. More than enough to do everything needed. If required can do Teams meeting and streaming at same time without issues.
50/20 TPG NBN but thinking of switching to 25/10 Carbon Comms to save $30/month
Don't need much these days just enough to not buffer while watching Netflix and YouTube.
I can wait patiently for game updates and if they are super long I'll just go to sleep and play it another time.
I'm getting old and tired.. I'll just sleep.
1000/100 HFC with Aussie Broadband. I generally get between 940-950 down the bulk of the day and, at least with the new upload speed, about 95 consistently.
Was paying for 100/40 with mate but just got the free speed increase to 500/50, which is OVERKILL for my needs. Speedtest via Wi-Fi to iPhone 13 shows I get around 270/45. PC gets 520/41.
Was on FTTC 50/20, upgraded to FTTP 100/20, improvement was very noticeable.
Thought about upgrading to 250/25, luckily did not spend the extra, now upgraded to 500/50 free, do not feel much difference.
I'm sure downloading large files will be faster, but day to day experience is much the same.
You sure did, had no idea at the time until you mentioned it.
FTTP 1000/100 as of yesterdy but will probably downgrade as 500/50 is way more than enough
Got my free upgrade to 500/50 and started laughing at how fast my Steam games were being downloaded.
"400/40 - Fixed Wireless"
Is that a thing? Do you mean 5G home internet?
This is all good and well but what we really want to know is what internet JV has?
@jv
what internet JV has?
50/1000
Haha understandable
1000/400 until my POI is upgraded at which time I’ll be on 2000/500 Leaptel.
I had a friend who just signed up to DODO. He wondered why his speed was so bad. LOL
Was on 250/25
Got bumped to 750/50Max wifi speeds were 400-500megabit. From an older ubiquiti uap ac pro.
Bought a ex demo u7 pro wall for 250 odd off ebay. Now I can max 750/50 easily via wifi, and even on my pc which supports wifi7 2.8gbps, copying from my NAS is actually now limited by the NAS' gigabit port. I bought a usb 2.5gbe adapter and managed 1.4-1.5gbps connected via wifi from my NAS. (real world around 150MB/s).
HFC but man it's tempting to get 2000/100… Or at least 1000/100. I'd have churned to Leaptel already but with Superloop so ceebs the 30 days notice crap. (which is how they get ya lol)
Genuine question. Why do we need such higher speeds. My user case, two people working from home MS Teams meetings, and one Netflix at 4K in the evening. I am on 50/20 ABB. Never had any issues. Do I need any higher speed? Am I missing something out?
Most people dont actually need more than 50 or maybe 100. Having more is nice when updating games like steam etc, but a LOT of people are on plans far higher than they actually need as a novelty.
Well depends. For 4k movies sometimes 100 mbps can struggle once you start getting past 15 or 20 gb files.
Mostly it's a numbers thing. Big number better.
For more tech enthusiast people, though, it can be beneficial I suppose. If you're the techie who hosts all the perfectly legally hosted media and you want to host a jellyfin/plex server for friends, good upload is useful, in the same vein good download is useful to obtain all said perfectly legal media. Also for gamers who chop/change games/games with massive patches, pubg for example often has 10gb updates, mate with 50 down we actually always play a completely different game for half an hour+ if he happened to forget to update it. (inb4 just leave your computer on! yeah that's not always a thing/I turn mine off all the time/it's off if I'm not using it).
I think for most, the 500/50 is the perfect plan now. Most wifi APs can do this from the last ~5-10 years pending other factors, so it's not massively wasteful. Per my post above, though, above this you'd generally need wifi 6e/7 to see a benefit from higher than 500/50 in terms of utilising the full download/wifi bandwidth.. But again isn't really needed for most.
Supposed to go up to 500/50, but is currently 100/50….
1000/100 FTTP through Superloop / Uniti
Cable - can get 900 through my cable network around my place
Wifi - even if 1 foot from router/modem can only get 200-300 max! (most places around my house getting 50-100
Time to replace that ISP router!
What are your recommendations? Coming from a nest wifi unit.
Like Google nest?
That's surprising it's so slow even next to it.. Original nest should be able to do better than that.
Eh I'm bias. I like my ubiquiti router/gateway and u7 pro wall… If you want a set and forget solution I probs can't help too much. Whatever it is, pick something at least wifi 6e. (not just wifi 6 which can still be only 5ghz). Plus your layout, location blah blah will have a big impact.
Poll is going to be out of date pretty quick in the next month given the mass free "upgrades" to 100 => 500 that are rolling out hehe
The poll won't be out of date. You can change your vote.
I've already set a reminder in my phone to come and change my poll response at 12:01am!!!
What router is everyone using for 1000/100+ speeds? I have a Google Nest Router and contemplating upgrading to Nest Pro Router as I only get 500/50 roughly via wifi.
superloop pretty shit at peak time.
FTTP currently on 500/50 but the actual speed is now 108/47. On weekends and other times, it is more than 500 on wifi.All good here. I just got 549/48 @ Superloop.
Yay 500/50 upgrade finally went through.
473/44 when I remotely tested at lunchtime with no one home.
275/35 now during the evening.
2000 but ima go down to 500 i reckon.
i've got 500 full tbs and the upload benefits me but not enoughHave - 50/20 (FTTN)
Prefer - 250/100was on 100/40 when it was first introduced, then 1000/50 since 2 years ago and now auto bumped to 1000/100
I was on 1000/50 which is now 1000/100. I may drop to 500/50 or 750/50 soon.
1000/100, HFC, Superloop, $68/month for 6 months ($85/month, $100 cashback)
I'd go with 2000/100, but $145/month (best price available), just isn't worth it.
What's up with most ISPs proving 500/50 now at around $80? Law or policy change?
Thanks!!!
