I'm VERY envious. :-\

Hi Graeme,

What NBN Plan are you on? Are you FTTP or FTTN. You must be on a fairly low NBN Plan to be receiving the download & Upload speeds you mentioned below.

With NBN Download Speeds & Upload Speeds depend on what NBN Broadband Plan you are paying for. /I’ve been on NBN FTTP since May 2014 with/ *iiNet/Westnet on a/$94.90 per month plan/* /*My Plan is 100GB + 100GB (Peak + OffPeak) + 50Mbps Download / 20Mbps Upload + Fibre Phone (my own phone).*/
/

I rarely reach the 50/20 Mbps speeds of my Plan.
*My SpeedTest results taken today:*
1. Turn Off WI-FI - Connected via Ethernet CAT6 cable directly into the NBN Termination Box UNI-D 1 Port
*Ping**Download  Upload*
4.8ms-47.6Mbps18.9Mbps

2. Connected via WI-FI 5GHz Network  (3TB Time Capsule)
*PingDownload Upload*
4.9ms47.7Mbps18.9Mbps

3. Turn Off WI-Fi - Connected via Ethernet port on TC
*PingDownload Upload*
4ms47.6Mbps            19Mbps

*Note:* I use and recommend CAT6 Ethernet cables, CAT5e can be used by CAT6 are faster for Broadband

Also what Neil mentioned and I Quote from Neil’s reply:
/Begin Quote
Your results sort of confirm what worries me about the NBN – the network/technology gives better speeds but, because of the high wholesale costs, the service providers don’t buy enough bandwidth to give good user speeds when congested.

Yes Neil, the smaller ISPs don’t have enough ‘Backhaul’ to handle congestion times - a lack of virtual capacity on the network that slows some connections to a crawl.

Regards,
Ronni

I ran a test this week using Speedtest.app following my download of High Sierra not that I thought the speed would improve by reason of the latest download but I thought that the speeds reflected by my test may be useful for comparison with members in other areas. I accept that the speed recorded was that at the time of the test but comparisons may be helpful

I live in the Mt Pleasant area and have had the NBN for over 12 months
My recorded speeds were as follows

Ping2ms
Download11.1 Mbps
Upload2.47 Mbps

Are these details of interest to members?
