Have you tried Fixed Wireless Broadband options?Well Guess I am still Stuck with Shitty Internet then.
The Government love wasting money on stuff that does not work
Cheers for your input people,MS told me im getting packet loss (whatever that is), i contacted Technicolour and they say the modem isn't on their system (TG-789vac V2) and told me that iinet need to assist me even though it's their product After that conversation it seems to be working much better now in regards to d/loading on the xbone although i haven't changed anything.Im using the ethernet cable but would like to use either 2.4ghz or the 5ghz wireless option- does going wired or wireless affect it? Not too sure how far i am from the node.
My son has to go wireless in his room so was thinking having his on 5ghz and mine on 2.4ghz network

I've heard good things about Node 1, it does depend on geographic location - if you're on the bottom of a hill then it won't really help. Another downside of using such providers is that if there are a lot of users using it at once then the speeds will fall dramatically as they only have one tower. Did a lot of research in regards to this, particularly in the suburbs of Morley and Noranda. One local businessman when into a deal with RedBroadband who installed a new tower just to keep up with traffic.there's a provider from country WA - node1 that has been doing extremely well rolling out fixed wireless in Perth this year. If my fttn connection is crap then I'll definitely be jumping across to their 100/40 fixed wireless product.

Don't hold your breathe for FTTN, there are talks that NBN are introducing Fibre to the Curb to some selected areas. Hope its yours.
Hehe cheers for your input Dew,as it stands I'll stick with what I got as I've had it for bout a month,but what VDSL/modem do you suggest if/when I really crack the shits and move to another provider?bearing in mind I'm a single father of 2 that live, breathe,shit internet
Don't hold your breathe for FTTN
Closer to the node, the better internet you'll have.My area is already live for fttn and I'm getting connected next week Wednesday - depending on the cable path im either 200m or 450m from my node. Let's hope it takes the logical/straight pathway.
Got my sis&bro in-law connected up to node1 and soon my parents as both their areas are 2019 (and hopefully fttc).
Fibre to the Premises was the best idea that the previous Labor government could bring to the country and it was overturned with the much cheaper and completely useless current Liberal government. Beggars belief how the current government is spending all this money for NBN Fibre to the Node where it won't even work better.
I was on offnet telstra ADSL via TPG and got Fixed Wireless NBN hooked up a week ago. The ADSL was terrible, constant drop outs, every threr months they would have to come out and fix the line. It was putrid.
Now the NBN is on and its a dream.
23/5 on speed tests.
Everyone with any ounce of technical expertise knew fttn would need to be replaced asap. There's no such thing as an upgrade, all the expensive equipment will be redundant. At best you can reuse the fibre the pulled to the node but that's a fairly insignificant cost - it's like saying your house is upgradeable but you'll have to knock the whole thing down and can only keep the foundation.
Also let's forget speeds for a second, reliability is lower on fttn than adsl let alone fttp (higher frequencies have more difficulty with older/corded copper).
What's worse is for those of us stuck on fttn the 'upgrade' probably won't come because they've either sold it off or it's not making any money (fttn/hfc have much higher operating costs and fttn has lower revenue) so nbn is 'broke'.
The real icing on the cake is that this was all for political point scoring and the fttn/hfc combo is probably no cheaper (to us as consumers and taxpayers) than fttp but inferior in every way except it'll be 'completed' ~2 years earlier than fttp.
FTTN/C isn't a total flop. British Telecom in the UK did a similar thing and it can be upgraded via G.Fast technology, capable of 1gbs.Everyone with any ounce of technical expertise knew fttn would need to be replaced asap.

Fibre obviously is future proof, while HTC cable is capable of 10gbs.
Not to mention fixed wireless can be upgraded in the future. Nbn has also trialled 1gbs for fixed wireless here. Also 5G trials have shown more than 20gbs.
It's not all doom and gloom.

Fttn was a political decision and unfortunately those users will suffer most going in to the future. A lot of the last mile technology discussions will be moot if the nbn doesn't make CVC a non issue as congestion due to an artificial peak time restraint. Ideally they'd massively reduce CVC and increase the AVC to make up for the drop in revenue.
It's definitely not all doom and gloom but we are again at the mercy of nbn/new owner to re-invest and considering what we've spent on this already it's crazy to think how many more billions need to be sunk.
They ran a trial in the UK to about 2000 homes where they used G.Fast on FTTN/C and they were averaging 330mbs on it. Considering the maximum limit for copper alone is 200mbs thats deff an improvement over plain old copper only.Fixed wireless is great for the more rural regions and was always part of the NBN big fan and have a lot of faith it'll continue to improve as a product.
5G will be fantastic but similar to previous mobile tech (4G, 3G) it's a shared medium with every mobile user on that tower and data is going to be considerably more expensive. Not a suitable replacement for fixed line for most people.
HFC overall is ok and if they invest in DOCSIS 3.1 will deliver more than adequate speeds (assuming CVC issues are fixed).
G.fast - hasn't really been a raging success... yet. It's not on offer as a product by BT/openreach and will only reach 1gbps on pristine copper <100m in length. It drops pretty rapidly from there and is on par with vdsl2 at around the 4-500m mark so unless you push the fibre deeper you're only dramatically improving (1gbps) the service of 5-10% of the fttn footprint and marginally improving another 10%.
That's a lot of work and extra expenditure and not a viable upgrade path if you're only upgrading 20% of the users. This all assumes in addition to distance you're on reasonable copper that isn't badly corroded, doesn't drop out regularly and isn't impacted by rain.
Keep in mind fttp is currently able to provide 1gbps but the CVC and overall cost have proven to be too high at the moment and RSP/ISPs aren't offering it.
With our move to fibre to the curb, g.fast becomes a realistic upgrade option if they get it to work properly as does a cheap and easy upgrade to full fibre (assuming they provision for that as part of the network design - my understanding is it's a gpon architecture behind the dp)
It's also worth noting the majority of UK copper is 50% thicker than ours and have significantly higher node cabinet density and to top it all off the BT fibre to the cabinet as they call it is pretty average (I've just moved back from the UK)

The Labor plan would have ran way over their esitimates. You could be looking at a 100 billion dollar bill by now. Never trust governments esitimates.^^^
So the Government has to already Update the NBN and cost even more money
Would not need that with what Labor wanted to do 1st
