Default Re: NBN so far, whats your experience?

I'll let you know in 2020 when it arrives and if it makes sense over 5G speed/cost wise.

I've been on cable since 2004 and a few years ago Optus even offered a speed pack that would increase you download speed to 100Mbps.

I guess the upside to my area being in the planning stage is that now we've been upgraded to planned FTTC instead of just HFC which is what Optus already offered us in 2004, explains why our speeds have been excellent compared to what everyone else had at the time.

Unfortunately because the area is getting NBN in 2020 most telcos are putting people on the cable network so it's abysmally slow now. We used to get consistent 20-30Mbps but now it can get as low 3Mbps.

Unless the back end is upgraded by the time NBN is available then 4G/5G will be a no brainer at that point.
