Is there anyone on a FTN setup with a 100/40 plan that could confirm of deny ??
Will find out soon.

I'm still on ADSL2 and get 19Mbps down 800k up on a 20/1 service ... and I'm 300m from the node (next street).

So my lead-in copper must be fairly good at least.
FTTN is ready ... I just need to make the switch.

Mind you ... was down the shops the other day and did a speed test on my personal and work phones (Optus) .... and the tower was across the park from the shops.

was able to get 300mps down and 88Mbps up via 4G. My 4G reception at home is nowhere near that though unfortunately though. It's better than Telstra though where there is no phone reception at all (half the street is like it ... and this is Sydney metro.
