FTTN is good as long as you're close to the node, I have FTTN 450metres from the node and get 25/5' unfortunately as my ISP is iiNet, the download speed drops below 5mb/s at peak times no fault of the FTTN, merely insufficient bandwidth on the carrier side. I ran some tests last saturday and while streaming 4K video to the TV I was still able to run a speed test at 15mb/s. I've seen reports of 100mb/s connections for FTTN closer to the node, I seem to recall seeing a line connect speed on the iiNet provided router of 86mb/s so I guess that's what I could expect if Opting for the fastest service. FTTN is a bit of a mongrel if you want to BYO modem/router, Most of the ISP's have customised routers which aren't available as retail items, if your Modem/Router is configured incorrectly for line protocols, NBN co will block the service, you then have to get the ISP to have it unblocked.
