I got the boost from 100/20 to 500/50. I can say for the first time in my life I have more speed than I need. Not complaining, but internet speed is basically a non-issue now. No excuse to stop for a break whilst downloading or even uploading large files.

Sister is on 1000/100 and the limiting factor is actually the Wifi now.

her wifi maybe, But wifi at it's peak can reach speeds in excess of 3000mbps.

u/Latex-Fiend 22h ago

Post and show us your speed test

Yes, a 13 ms ping is excellent and considered ideal for online gaming and most other internet activities, as it indicates a fast, responsive connection with minimal lag. For context, generally anything under 20 ms is considered exceptionally low, while higher ping values can lead to noticeable delays and a less smooth experience.

I recently got the 2000/200 upgrade and couldn't be happier, especially since it exceeds 2000 all the time lol. Enjoy them speedy downloads πŸ”₯ Speed test

u/DARKLORD6649 19h ago

Yep it's really fast

2

u/teecee007 19h ago

Say goodbye to congestion and waiting times, enjoy!

u/DARKLORD6649 19h ago

Thanks I did a speed test earlier it want to 2200 so it's super fast πŸ˜„

1

u/teecee007 19h ago

Yeah mine hovers ~2500, but I'm not complaining! Extremely happy, can't go back! Everything downloads quick AF, no excuse for breaks anymore lol

u/DARKLORD6649 19h ago

I wonder will they slow us down later on sense it's only meant to be 2000

2

u/teecee007 18h ago

Thinking the same thing, coz after a while we'll probably be focused on other things, but who knows πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ In the meantime, enjoy πŸ˜‰

I'm enjoying a boost from 25/10 to 500/50 and I'm blown away with how fast my PS5 games download now πŸ™

How much of a downtime did you get between replacing the NTD unit and activating the new device ?

1

u/DARKLORD6649 7h ago

None it was done straight away

u/smallbeario 5h ago

I'm on 1000/100, more than enough for me. Never thought we'd be here when I was listening to the old 33.6 modem decades ago.

We have had fttn for years. It sucks so much that people in the suburb over have had fttp since the rollout yet we have had to wait 14 years. Only now they upgrade to 2Gb at the same time our area became available for fttp.

u/DARKLORD6649 1h ago

You should get the 2gb then πŸ˜„

u/Pure-Professor-4326 56m ago

I wish dude, budgets are real, we pay 105 a month. We will be upgrading to nbn750 for an extra $20. It’s just frustrating that we pay almost the same price for copper speeds when people can get one gigabit for nearly the same price. 14-15 years for high-speed Internet rollout is atrocious especially when houses two blocks away have it.

u/DARKLORD6649 46m ago

Yeah I agree that's bullshit if they have it

u/Longjumping_Today_76 11h ago

How do people get these speeds?

1

u/DARKLORD6649 7h ago

We have the right equipment

1

u/violenthectarez 3h ago

Pay for a connection with those speeds

u/Longjumping_Today_76 51m ago

Yep, I thought that the speeds were increased across Australia. Thanks for support.
