@crucial yeah same. I've probably mentioned this just a few posts above but it's the Fern so why check.
I remember hosting a business breakfast with head of Spark as guest speaker. He bragged about the benefits of being boss meaning he got 100Mbps at his home and you could literally hear a collective drawing in of breath by the audience; shocked that such crazy speeds were attainable.

So the issue may just be there/the connection to the ONT. Most like just the statndard old reboot the router to clear things. Sounds like the Deco network is fine.
I've got a Google Wifi Mesh, and it is great but every now and then the master unit loses track of the 2 nodes.
Google said the logs are showing a dual-NAT issue between the Google master (which is a router) and my modem/router (Fritz!Box 7490 connecting the VDSL).
I'm not sure that is the case - the router is operating a different subnet to the Mesh units to start with, and the Master unit still supplies perfectly good wifi to the outside world. Therefore the NAT should never cross over.
Anyway I just power off everything and power it back on, sorted in under 5 minutes. Small price to pay for great in-house connection.
Apparently our suburb is getting Fibre soon. The good news there is I can keep the modem I've got. Quite like the Fritz.

Didn't you hear? Malcolm and the Libs said we'd never need those sorts of speeds everywhere.
1990s Internet was good for Ozemail, so it's good for everyone.
NBN looking to open FttN upgrade orders in March 2022
Although the company has announced another 200,000 more premises are eligible for an FttN upgrade, orders are expected to be opened in March.

Correct - VDSL. Which in my bro-in-law's case means he can get 95/40 but I get 25/7.

Cos you still have a copper feeder to the node and copper is so 1900s.

At the end of last week, TPG Telecom announced it had extended its fibre network in regional areas and was able to offer businesses connectivity at speeds greater than 250Mbps. Beginning at AU$384 a month including GST for the 250Mbps plan, the telco is also offering 400Mbps for AU$440 a month, and 1Gbps for AU$880 a month.
WTAF!

dude i have copper. and i am at the very end of the line. my internet speed can be catagorised as "dial up" and it drops out just so so often.
It's fucking great. We don't appear to be on the NBN plan any time in the future. Also Telstra have approx zero fucks to give about the copper network any more, so i have the worst of both worlds
The best satellite solution is like 200 a month.
so we're fucked.

Ah that sucks, I've got a mate who is rural near Newcastle and they have Telstra 4G and it's been great for them.

Because it is a captive market in the regions.
And I wouldn't trust TPG to send me porn, so fuck all of that. Everyone promises "business grade" support, including Telstra, but at the end of the day, the same backhaul is used for everything, so you might as well buy consumer grade and risk it.
Besides videoconferencing - which is well compressed anyway and doesn't need more than 100mbps - rural business won't benefit from much more.

@nta said in internet/streaming:
including Telstra,
Actually, funny story about that: Telstra 4G is almost nonexistent around here, and particularly my house because of the steel roof (front step not much better). I live 32km as the crow flies from the centre of the biggest CBD in Australia, and don't have anything like a mountain in the way of the nearest tower.
In any case, my ISP swapped from Optus to Telstra. Good price so I went with it.
Fucking. Dud.
Dropped my ISP after many years together, and went to another mob. Optus MVNO, based onshore, price versus data is superb. They also support Wifi Calling now which makes life much easier under the colourbond roof. That was about 4 months ago.
Last week I get a knock on the door. Nice young lady said she was from a TV production company* and said they were looking for residential shooting locations for a Telstra ad. I chuckled and said "no thanks" partly because they needed to use a room of the house for the child stars to change in, and also because FUCK Telstra.
It just made me laugh: the fact that they were shooting a Telstra ad in a location with no Telstra coverage.
*I mentioned I had a fair bit of experience with TV production, but spared her the detail of my time as the Tesla Powerwall poster boy
I de-wankered myself out of choice. I'm growing as a person. -

I don't and at an educated guess it will be closer to the end of this decade than the start of it before I will get it. And I pay $100 a month for the privilege. For that I can thank Rudd, Conroy and Turnbull. Fuckwits the lot of them.
