Post your net speed!

Had a few mates with the old cable and from memory it was good.

I ended up on a 100/40 plan on FTTN before FTTP and to be honest, that was actually ok. Hit the advertised speeds all the time. We were reasonably close to the node, and I think it was pretty much the max we could get out of it. Only reason I needed to go bigger was upload speed, and I routinely upload 15-20 gig worth of stuff to the cloud a couple of times a day.

Yes it was pretty good. I don’t have a real requirement for really fast internet and the 50mbps connection works fine for me but it was still crap getting downgraded when I was forced onto the NBN.

Jitter is packet latency, nothing is dropping. Speed tests are only good for raw bandwidth these days, those latency numbers are impossible. I wouldn't be able to use video, let alone voice for calls if they were accurate. Teams and zoom show jitter well under 30. Ping is usually around 30-40, I can live with that, I don't game on my phone much. I think some ISP's QoS and offload these tests like mine. I can see it on a PCAP

I think you will find that packets being "delayed" by "jitter" for more than 1 second by nodes along the route rarely, if ever, arrive at the final destination. But you're obviously right, what would I know.

Sorry mate, I think your misunderstanding me. I'm not trying to insult your intelligence. Jitter can lead to loss, sure, I'm just saying that's not what the metric is for. Ookla records retransmits and displays them, they can't be hidden thanks to check sums. I'm saying there was no loss and the rest of the numbers are an anomaly, which I believe is due to some tags my packets collected from Telstra QoS

Here’s Annette speed. She runs quite fast.

The nostalgia! I remember the days of the 56k modem, which I’d be lucky to get 28k on as I was out in the boonies and my ISP was the University of Queensland!

You got a whole 200 megabytes as your monthly download limit so you had to ration what you did on the interwebs or you would blow your monthly limit and extra megabytes were expensive.

me on my N95 with my 3MB mobile data pack. Checking my bank account at the checkout. I was ahead of my time.

(or I was a single mum with a tight food budget and staff discounts for high tech toys )

I remember a very long time ago, at work I was doing something on my phone and the department administration lady made mention we shouldn't be texting at work on the shop floor, but I wasn't, I was sending a email and there was no stupid ******* rules against that yet She laughed and continued on her way.

thinking about it, that would have been almost 20 years ago now. Bugger time flies.

Our FTTP install was done earlier in the week.

Laptop now getting around the advertised speed of 75/20 (actually 75.88 this morning).

Interestingly mine and the Mrs phones (Samsung A20s) only get mid 30s download but still around 19 up.

Whereas the kids phones (some recent iPhone thing and a Pixel 7 pro(?)) are getting in the 70s.

I decided to pull the trigger on an FTTP install which should be getting done in a couple of weeks time. Figured I should take advantage of the free upgrade from FTTC while the going’s good. No doubt they will probably make you pay for the install at some point and the old copper cable can be flakey at times so YOLO.

You do need to upgrade your plan though to get free install on the fibre connection so I signed up for 650mbps. Theres no way that I actually need that speed but there’s only two plan options (100mbps or 650mbps) and the price difference between them is only $10 a month so why not get over 6x the speed for an extra $10 a month.

Ours was a new NBN connection and plan as we were previously fixed wireless.

NBN had not been connected at our place previously.

FYTP install was free.

We went with Aussie.....$89 pm for 75/20.

1000/50 is another $40 pm which we couldn't justify.

Young bloke is getting 60 in his gaming room upstairs at the back of the house and is stoked.

Ping is consistently 3 or 4.
