?? the australian govenment just upgraded everyone who was on 100mbps to 500mbps and everyone on 50mbps to 500mbps. Also there are 1gig and 2 gig plans available.
For some areas and not everyone. Turnbull fucked us.
It's still really a matter of whether or not you're lucky enough to have had FTTP rollout. My local HFC node's been having issues ever since that upgrade, now they've just had me capped at 65Mbps for about 6 weeks. NBNco silent, RSP won't do anything, fixed wireless & 5g already oversaturated. Inner metro area.
Dang that sucks. I've got hfc too but it's working really well for me, I get a stable 500mbps when on ethernet.
I will agree, the situation is getting better.
But we could have had even better than that 5 years ago if the government hadn't thrown away a perfectly good upgrade plan to spend more money on copper.
Yeah it is true.
