Woohoo ! Better broadband

[VladTepes]

Well I'm super stoked !

Got my Aussie Broadband connection running today (NBN tech came this morning) big change from ADSL.

BEFORE


Funnily enough this is the fastest I've ever seen it (max previous was 2.1 Mbps down)


AFTER




No more buffering for youpo youtube

Same price as ADSL also I'm guessing, they are ripping us off in Australia 

[VladTepes]

My ADSL was $60/month (complete rip).
The 100/20 NBN plan is $100/month. Still great value by comparison.

and yeah we get totally ripped on prices of.. almost everything. But internet and mobile phone plans especially.

That's the price of living in "The Lucky Country" Mike.

The pic below is what we have to put up with on this side of the ditch.





It's bloody good with a fast laptop too!

It's a large modified bike dynamo Notty, each hut has their own, if they're on the rich side of town, else it's still carrier pigeon & smoke signals.   Sir David Barmy has seen it first hand.

That's fantastic Vlad, I'm on fibre (to the box on the street) and my speed is the same as your before box, it was even slower on ADSL.

Vlad, you need to search better. My NBN, which works perfectly. $75, unlimited data i think or very high. My phone plan is $30 with 30gb and free everything else.
