Paying A$90 (~70 USD) for broadband based on HFC to freestanding house, 100Mbps (downstream) / 40Mbps (upstream), hit by outages from time to time as ISPs are simply NBN resellers, which in turn is a wrapper on top of Telstra's infrastructure. Will be keen to see how Starlink rollout goes down-under.
- simfree 6y agoIsn't Telstra just an NBN reseller at this point? IIRC that was why they were planning to start pushing cellular home internet, as they own their cellular assets outright, whereas NBN bought the wireline assets and charges them per customer.
- hnick 6y agoNBN has had an order of magnitude more outages in the last few years than ADSL2 ever had for me. Maybe it's limited to HFC, but I doubt it. One time I got an outage report for work being done, but the internet only went down when they left for the day and messed something up on their way out.
