I just wish we had their internet infrastructure. It's far from the best in the world, but it's better than what we have by a long shot.

- shakna 10y agoAustralian internet is best described by the string of cursewords necessary to make up the time required to load a video fully. The current NBN is crap, the rollout has been a disaster and the common person just doesn't understand how crap it actually is. Thankfully a new line to Hawaii should open in January/February, and that might have a more significant impact on our current congestion.
- jazoom 10y agoI'm in the process of moving to a FTTN place, and it's really no different to the crappy experience of ADSL. If it's not FTTP, it's still relying on some crappy company's crappy infrastructure.
- aplummer 10y agoI actually have nbn fttn, and ymmv but I love it. 59 bucks a month unlimited download and I get about 95mbit down consistently. I feel like it's a really good deal...
- shakna 10y agoNBN covers 48% of my city, and had to be installed 4 times. It was supposed to cover 99%, but after the main street had to be torn up six times due to installation mistakes, the city said no more. They weren't challenged on the decision. Because it is fttn, the main bottleneck, the last mile, remains precisely the same. So I am required to pay 60, where I used to pay 40, for the same speed and data.
- aplummer 10y agoYeah i saw that if you could actually get the 12mbit plan and be worse off that sucks. Also i just realised mine is FTTB not FTTN, which i imagine changes it a lot. Also I live in the Melbourne CBD. Seems like the mileage varies a lot on this one.
