Keep hearing that Australia has the worst NBN infrastructure in the world. People who I know that have NBN still complain it's slow.

How so?

People Buy VPN so they can not get Throttled and Have more Privacy

 

[TradeDraft]

i'm getting 47.45mbps right now, ******* gamers slowing down my connection

Wish I could get that Speed with my FTTN NBN

 

[TradeDraft]

Surely this guy would at least have advisors, who know something about this "intero-net" that the kids are using

He Probably does not even have NBN but something a Lot Better

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I get close to 100mbps on Optus cable with the speed pack wondering if NBN is that quick.

What does a VPN have to do with the NBN being slow being blamed on gamers?

Mine is heaps quicker and cheaper than my old ADSL connection but when you hear yanks talking about having symmetrical gigabit connections you realise how poor NBN really is

Wish I could get that Speed with my FTTN NBN

We have HFC and haven't had any issues

I originally read this as a Betoota Advocate article, and in a haha good one moment it turns out their article was based in truth

How out of touch are these blokes?

Because it couldn't possible be everyone streaming Netflix every night, it's definitely the gamers.

It couldn’t possibly be the fact the network is a pile of s**t that’s to blame...

What does a VPN have to do with the NBN being slow being blamed on gamers?

Because they say they will Throttle the Speeds for Gamers and VPN can get around that

Are you sure about that, bud?

 

[Sterge]

Because they say they will Throttle the Speeds for Gamers and VPN can get around that

VPN would make it slower and there is no way for them to know you are gaming anyway, the bloke even admitted that. They can throttle heavy users but we know the only time gamers are heavy users is when you are downloading patches or new games

I lived in the US and had a symmetrical gigabit connection and it was amazing. The provider actually introduce 1 gigabit plans after I’d been on them for a few months, and automatically moved me to that new plan and LOWERED my monthly bill.

Australian internet is shocking.

Gigabit Is 125mb so symetrical is 125 up and down.
Base nbn is 12 down and 1up max is 100down and 10up

 

[Quivorir]

max is 100down and 10up

40 up*

Gigabit is 1000mb.

 

[Sterge]

Gigabit is 1000mb.

Gigabyte is 1000 megabytes
Gigabit is 1000 megabits or 125 megabytes

Can somebody explain why 1mb up is insufficient for let's say 90% of the population?
