If your near a major road or center like a shopping mall, Footy, Cricket, etc, speed will be crap during peak hours as time slots get used up. Also the higher frequency used in 4G means more time slots in the same amount of space. My son only rents in suburbs with FTTP. He's in a Northside suburb right now.

Robin,
You missed the point of my post. I'm aware of how mobile broadband bandwidth sharing works. Those 3G speeds are fine for my modest use of the internet which is why I haven't gone chasing more speed. I'm not telling anyone to go back to 3G. I was pointing out that the NBN speeds being quoted are comparable to my old 3G technology mobile broadband and IMO totally unacceptable.
