we are 28th in the world in internet speed :(

[***super_nova***]

And we can only hope that the LNP will change their minds, will listen to reason and implement the NBN.

 and for those who do not understand how much difference it would make, and are unsure about the bits and bytes, and the difference between FTTP and FTTN

.......these speed tests are done on a 25/5 connection today via wifi, if you're interested.

Comparable to a FTTN connection 🙂

Now try the same servers using a faster local connection.

That would be a better test 🙂

No, not comparable to a FTTN connection at all.

Yes, I had one myself.

My previous service did too much because it was wireless

so the FTTN was before this?

I think you are wrong there ibis

Ibis - you have selectively quoted from my post. I  also posted I have had an NBN service for 12 mths (up until Nov 2012). I never claimed to have the NBN service currently, although expect do so again soon.

As far as I am aware,from the posters on the  forum there is only Freaki that has a current NBN service.

I think that you will find that it was Am3 who brought up the issue of You Tube, Podds was just replying that he didn't use it.

Well, he would use it if he had more data ( and most likely would have more data on an NBN plan for the same cost or less than current plan). poddster wrote: Its not that it is slow it is that if i watch utube my data allocation runs out.

I went from about  20GB ADSL (not ADSL 2, not avail)  to 50GB peak & 70 GB off peak with NBN for less than what it cost before per month. Plus$15 for landline, plus 10 times faster than what I had before (without paying extra for a speed pack).

 

[poddster]

how is it possible to have a saving of $1,500 per year when the service that was replaced only costs $1320.00?

Some older people just do not like change but that's no reason to want to hold everyone else back 🙂
