In many cases, the connection is "good enough" (especially if you're only going for a 25 Mbps connection or slower), but if you want to get the best internet connection you can, you really should look at testing your synch speeds, and getting the wiring fixed.

As I said - this is one of the hidden costs of the Abbott & Turnbull "cheaper, faster, more affordable" MTM - and most people aren't even aware that it is an issue.

So true, my FTTN connection was only getting around 12mbs download, TPG'S solution was to refund me 12 months of overcharging for a plan that my line speed couldn't deliver, and put me on the basic plan.
