Struth Michael ! My ADSL2 speed is about 11/0.9 so that is pretty poor for NBN. I am pretty happy with my ADSL2 speed and don’t really need NBN. But looks like we don’t get to choose when the time comes. > On 18 Feb 2019, at 9:23 am, Michael Hawkins > wrote: > > Our iPrimus experience in

Our iPrimus experience in Doubleview, about 200 m from the node, has been atrocious with download speeds of 0.10Mbps. Not at peak times, I hasten to add. That “speed” was a 5:56AM. After we complained the download speed went up to 35.5Mbps but as I write this it is down to 11.0 with an upload

I have to add my endorsement for Telstra’s service as well, although I must say up front that we were transitioning from Foxtel Cable to Foxtel NBN, so there was very little to change in the way of infrastructure since they are using essentially the same cable technology. Nonetheless, apart

That has given me great confidence in the Telstra move to NBN. Thank you Robin. I moved reluctantly from Westnet to Telstra 9 years ago when I moved house. I had been very satisfied with Westnet until I moved house. But Westnet could not offer me high speed ADSL at the time and Telstra could.

Switching to NBN - Here in Busselton, after 24 years with Westnet, with the disconnection of the analogue phone service imminent I signed up with Telstra for an NBN internet service. This consolidated all our fixed and mobile phones and now our internet with one provider. (I did start with

We had a fairly easy ride with Iinet side of things for the switch to NBN, any holdups were with NBNco. As we’ve been on for a year or more the pain of switchover is long forgotten. Iinet have also been reliable with phone support over the years. No complaints here. Sent from my iPad > On 17

Hi We had to go on the NBN shortly and on my brother in law’s recommendation I tried Aussie Broadband. The result has been fantastic! Cheaper, guaranteed Australian call centre (which makes a huge difference being older and deafer), constant updates of what is going on (whilst connecting) Since

I can not see speak highly enough of Westnet, though they are in the iiNet fold. Great, prompt service and fast action where needed. I have been with them for about 20 years. Severin Crisp > On 17 Feb 2019, at 09:38, Mike Murray wrote: > > We need to make a move to NBN in the next few

M ! I am with Bigpond and recently spoke with them about my forthcoming NBN (second half of 2019). They said it will happen automatically and I will get a new free modem that I simply plug in. Nothing else to do. All sounds too easy to me. Got me worried too now ! > On 17 Feb 2019, at 9:38

Similar with ‘Bigpuddle’. Took 2-3 months to get a reliable full time connection. Countless phones calls... Now working. One thing we asked for was upgrade to mobile data allowance- for free, as we had no, or unreliable, home line or internet for weeks. Brian Risbey OS12.1.4 ‍☕️ On 17
