Found it.
https://telsoc.org/ajtde/2014-03-v2-n1/a26 A good article and a diagram that shows the various technologies although they refer to FTTdp which is the original name for FTtC |

Had it connected Monday, it’s pretty good, 2 devices using YouTube with no buffering and with crystal clear picture.

I'm still on ADSL2 and get 19Mbps down 800k up on a 20/1 service ... and I'm 300m from the node (next street). So my lead-in copper must be fairly good at least. FTTN is ready ... I just need to make the switch. Mind you ... was down the shops the other day and did a speed test on my personal and work phones (Optus) .... and the tower was across the park from the shops. was able to get 300mps down and 88Mbps up via 4G. My 4G reception at home is nowhere near that though unfortunately though. It's better than Telstra though where there is no phone reception at all (half the street is like it ... and this is Sydney metro.

Looking forward to your feedback. What do you use to measure speed ? |

Something like speedtest.net should tell you what your rough throughput is. http://www.speedtest.net/ Your sync speed shouldn't be too much different to what your throughput should be. If it is, then your service provider hasn't bought enough capacity to cater for all of their customers on the POI you're connected to.

I just used speedtest.net ... and link to my carrier's server (not any other carrier).
My modem advises sync speed as well ... it's only the basic SAGEMCOM that comes with it. I rang up the other day and set it up ... apparently needs a new MODEM ... it gets sent out next week. Even though i am FTTN here and still use my existing copper. I'm only going to the 50Mbps service for now. works out cheaper than ADSL2 as well ... go figure. But I do have a staff discount (which is in use now). My area is wholesaled through Telstra (even though I am Optus) .... well was Telstra DSL though the area ... depends who owns what now to the Nodes themselves and what the backend capacity really is. Have been told to expect about 40Mbps during heavy usage periods .... which is still double what I was getting anyway.

I have NBN FTTP with Telstra on a 100/40 plan. I generally get in the mid 90s down and about 38 up. Been very reliable to date (5 months) My previous house was in a Telstra velocity estate and on a 100/5 plan with mid 80s to low 90s down and about 4 up. It was super reliable and also had the advantage of providing FTA and PayTV via the fibre but I was effectively tied to only Telstra as my retailer.

Yeah, Connection speeds mean nothing, all my hardwired devices connect to my network at gigabit, but NBN does not offer that :-P Speedtest is a good tool, wait for the ads to load before starting the test |

How do you add a test to it. I have no option to run a test or upload one.

I'm into week 3 of NBN cable. Was a nightmare migration but that's behind me now and it has cost Telstra big-time in TIO enforceable fines and free gear to me.
Gone from 5 mb on ADSL2 to 50-60 mb but it doesn't feel that fast. I think I'm now getting limited by the performance of the hardware. Laptops are 4th gen i5 and i7. The modem is a ripper with fail-over 4G kick in within 1 minute. That's a clever idea. Overall, I'm miles ahead financially. |

When I am not logged in there is a blue box at the top right of the result set that says "Join This Speed Wave". I would guess that is what you click - (after logging on, if you have an account then your details would be saved) If I am already logged on, that same box says "Speed wave test again" Either way, I click it and it throws to the test screen. btw: I am using a PC based browser (Firefox) |

Yeah, I just poked around - it seems that speedwave is only for "Flash" users on the "Legacy" page. One result other than me on there |

If you're using Google Chrome, then click on the Not Secure button next to the web addresss, then click on "site settings". Scroll down to Flash and click the drop down box and hit "allow".
Refresh the webpage and the test should work. Good luck. |

I use Edge but the same thing worked for me. Right click to the left of the web address and allow adobe flash, and then it works.

after having a bit of a back read, I will stick by my original observation that the biggest problem is NOT with the NBN its self but the internet providers, they are 2 separate things
People often get them confused

Was on ADSL getting about 5Mbps down/ 0.2 up. Was terrible.
Got NBN early in 2017 - FTTN. Node is however in front of my house. Had the tech patch my copper connection directly at the node. I am on a 100/100 corporate plan. I get a consistent speed of 91Mbps Down/ 91 Mbps up. Very little congestion. We are however in a suburb that is made up of 1 acre blocks so low housing density probably helps. My modem tells me my Sync speed and its connecting to NBN network at 151Mbps, theoretically if they offer a 150Mbps plan i will sign up. We can currently stream 3x 4k tv's (Netflix/Foxtel etc) with no lag or loading wait times. Its sensational. I run an IT company so its been great for remote access and working from home. Having said all that, i have seen many NBN horror stories, from bad installs to speeds being slower than ADSL.

I just got a phone call from Optus asking me to replace my old Netgear (Hopeless from a functionality point of view) with a Seagem (Almost as bad, but maybe only 10 year old it its design), the interesting thing she said was that there will be a new netgear next year.
Now there is no Netgear that I would currently use (My Dream is a Draytek - when I get around to it), but anything would be a step up from the first two NBN connection routers that Optus offered |

NBN related but slightly off topic, we are using Aussiebroadband wireless well this pops up every month
Aussie Broadband Pty Ltd ABN 29 132 090 192 PO Box 3351 Gippsland Mail Centre VIC 3841 just curious as to why they would be in Morwell... something to do with high unemployment ? I doubt it.

NBN backend work was done today.
Was going to plug in the new Sagemcom modem. decided to connect to the LAN on the old MODEM. Sync speed 54999/22600 hmmmmm ... that's my new NBN speed. Go to speedtest and run a test. 47.6Mbps down 18.91 up And its pegging it down with rain now as well. Not sure if i am going to use the new MODEM now. It's synced to the network using all the old settings. Seeing as it works nicely ... will leave it as is. Have 5 devices connected to wifi at the moment as well with those speeds. This just tested now ... and probably a peak time being after school as well. See how it goes. EDIT: My son advised there was a brief outage in internet this afternoon. Thought it was due to weather. Must have been them doing the backend work.

I only get 26Mb/s on my 50Mb/s plan. That's all that the stupid copper I've got will allow. It's nothing to do with the ISP, but the crap that's laying in the ground. We're moving in a couple of weeks to a new rental. Hopefully I get better speeds there. On a side note, why do people still use Telstra as an ISP? They're customer service is absolute rubbish as is their value for money. I've been with Internode myself and they service for the last 15+ years that I've been with them has been great.

Here's one for the brains trust?
I'm currently on ADSL2 and the NBN is available in front of my house. My ISP (Spintel) is sending me a new NBN? modem. NETCOMM NF10WV (datasheet) Fully featured VDSL2 / ADSL2+ Gateway 4 x 10/100 Ethernet LAN ports 1 x 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet WAN port Wireless N300 Access Point for multiple high speed WiFi connections $49.00 + shipping My question is, will I need to buy new telephones (2) to replace the existing old white ones I have at the moment? |
