Site Speed

[not_for_sale2025]

I switched from Cable to the NBN last week. One of the first things I noticed was that it took longer to refresh the page here. I just spoke with an NBN technician who suggested it could be a problem with the site. He also said that the NBN is not meant to be faster than cable and at times can, in fact, be slower.

Has anybody else noticed a slowing in speed when refreshing the page over the last week? If it isn't a problem with eBay then the NBN looks like it's going to be somewhat of a disappointment. I actually thought it would be faster! Should have done my homework better.

I found this site, well.. the board section anyway to be slower than any other, even though i've changed internet providers on NBN

Maybe it's time for ebay to upgrade the platform

I would hope no-one is using Internet Explorer anymore.

Ebay don't support it any longer, making it a problem browser

Now it's loading quite well lol, i think it takes it's time when signing-in at first (for me?) then warms up??

I've re-booted the modem about six times. Apparently from what I've been told, a 'fast' flashing LAN light can be an indication of a concern. Also as Joe mentioned, I find eBay to be the slowest site I visit. But it is slower now which is why I asked if anybody else has found a difference over the last week. I think I just have to accept that my expectations of the NBN were too high.

iinet expected me to upgrade & no longer offered unlimited local and national calls, stuff that, so i went with TPG, cheaper too

My stsytem seems to run smoother on NBN, so in essence - quicker?!

I don't think your expectations were high.

The NBN has been touted as the be-all and end-all, so you expected better internet.

But what speed are you getting for downloads?

[not_for_sale2025]

47.5 Mbps

Then that's about as good as it gets. I'm afraid.

I just did mine and got 47.3
