Time to change RSP - FTTC should be able to provide 100 Mbps on virtually ALL connections, but Telstra only offer 100 Mbps plans (and above) to FTTP and HFC residents. Pretty well every other RSP will offer you access to 100 Mbps plans - and you'll probably save some money as well.

Some RSPs may only allow you to sign up for 50 Mbps initially, but will allow a speed upgrade once your actual attainable line speed has been confirmed. (Note that on FTTC, it is possible that your in-home wiring may have an adverse impact on your attainable speed; and in some cases, the copper lead-in from the street is too long and / or very poor quality; but for most people on FTTC, 100 Mbps is attainable.) Telstra avoid dealing with the whole issue by preventing subscribers from accessing their full attainable speed - and have the gall to charge a premium compared to other RSPs.
