It depends where you are. I just did a speed test in the suburbs on a Telstra reseller and got 118MBit, which IME is par for the course around Perth and suburbs.
That speed is just double the maximum line speed of my FTTN NBN connection at the same property (but I keep it anyway as household data usage on 4G is uneconomical).
- incompatible 7y agoUneconomical because 4G doesn't compete in price for data allowances, once you are using more than 50 GB or so per month? At a constant 118 MBit/s I calculate that you'd go through over 50 GB per hour, so the usefulness is limited.
- batiudrami 7y agoI pay US$55 a month for unlimited data @ 50Mbit on my fibre/copper line, and US$100 per year for 80GB per year on my 4G mobile (there are other options up to about US$70/m for 150GB/m but no unshaped & unlimited data option.) I suspect that part of the reason that 4G is so good in Australia is that data allowances are relatively small which limits congestion.
