I was having an online chat with a service area of one NBN service provider and they were going on about that "internet speeds indicated are maximum theoretical speeds only. Actual throughput speeds may be slower and could vary due to many factors, including the type / source of content being downloaded, hardware and software configuration, the number of users simultaneously using the network and performance of interconnecting infrastructure not operated by"

So I asked why cant the speed be taken at the point of entry by the tech doing the install - then the user can pay for the tier option that would apply from that.

No no no we cannot do that. Then they went on about upload speeds also being restricted...

Why is it so hard when really all we want as users is a nice reliable, stable service that we get what we pay for?
