It's always a conn.

So you should be well versed

On a slightly related note, I needed to get my FTTP fixed by NBNCo, and it was a fantastic experience.

The guy was meant to turn up between 1-5, but rang ahead in the morning and came at 10am - was polite and professional - upgraded the entire cable between the outside box and the modem inside to a much more robust cable.

Told me that he lives only a few minutes away, and if I have any issues I can ring him and avoid the hassle of going through my service provider to log a job.

Back to Gigabit baby!

An update: NBN co did indeed come out - earlier than planned - on the Labor Day bludge day, 3 days after I lodged the ticket on the prior Friday evening.

They were here for around 10 min max - simply replaced the connection device and ran the tests.


And suddenly Telstra upgraded the plan for us for the same monthly price to 100Mb/s...and we get that nearly 24/7 Just ran an Ookla test in the middle of the afternoon and it spat out 92.24 Mb/s down, 18.77 up. Definitely fast enough for this chicken (our prior pegged at 54 down was fast enough - it rarely dropped below that seeing we were throttled from a 100 cable line)

Yeah, it'll do. Took 'em 5 years, but we are there now
