I never get slowdowns unless my VPN confuses the coms between the computer and the wifi in which case I need to reboot. But that is not a network problem.
Two speed tests attached, 1) Telstra 3G Elite device (Telstra) and 2) using personal hotspot on my mobile phone (Virgin).
I don't know what sort of data applications you use, I find this is fast enough for anything I do.
NBN coming to my place next month. Frankly, from what I'm hearing I don't think I'll bother.
Sounds like you both might be better off doing the same.

Joe, I don't think you have a choice, as the ADSL network is being shut down. It's why they never put ADSL 2 out here - it was going to be redundant within a year if they put it in.
My mother's residence in QLD had NBN put in 2 months ago. She was told that if she did NOT sign up for NBN (which she did not want to do) then she would have no internet service.
And I am not paying my mobile company way too much for too little data to use a hotspot.
I can stream Netflix over 4 comps in the house as-is, but at times, the connection is worthless (Telstra still investigating, as it happens at very specific times daily)
