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

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

Go back and read what I said and please stop the nonsense trolling.

.......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.

I don't think anyone could convinve me/others in my area or other people living with similar services (or lack of) that we don't need a new NBN service.

NBN - 120GB (50 peak/70 off Peak), landline via NBN (using existing telephone)  $45.44(excl GST) per month

Previous plan: ADSL 20GB & landline $110 per month (incl GST). (Landline was $57, telstra resale customers)

I guess i mean to say it isn't hooked up yet. there will be a price to pay i'm sure, especially as telstra will likely gain a monopoly by stealth (and not so stealthy free kicks) and ruin what was a good idea.

how was my spelling?

Considering 90 % of the words in the quoted posts were mine, excellent.

Do you have ADSL2 or  2+ in your area, ibis?
