The latter and yep its slow.Megabytes or megabits? If its the latter that's slow for cable
Hmmm. Same provider as last year. FTW!
Just switched to a new plan having been on ~4Mbps for the last 7 years.
Have been with Adam Internet for 10 years. Obviously they were bought out by iiNet recently. In the last month connection has gone to absolute shit. This is me today:
I live in South Brighton, and I'm about a kilometre from the exchange. ******* third world disgraceful.
Yeah that upload is pretty bad. Might we worth a call to Adam and get them to run a line test.

Optus cable here. Drops to around 60-70 Mbps during peak. Thought it would be shit during peak like Elroo when I got it, but it's not.
Unlimited data on 100 Mbps is awesome
I have moved house from an area covered by HFC which was giving me slower speed than I am now receiving on a very congested ADSL system.
Old HFC speedtest;

My new ADSL2 which gives me faster speeds than my old HFC but I can still go hours with zero ability to access due to congestion on the ADSL system;

Note: It just took 3 attempts to upload my post due to the internet speed!
The ADSL speed is very random. Only 20 minutes after I posted the test above I tried a 2nd time and had zero internet for 45 minutes. Tried through 3 devices and nothing for the 45 minutes then it uploaded the test page and we got a 6Mbps outcome!I'd take the former, unless I was a heavy downloader/streamer. The first setup would yield better gaming and general browsing response times.
Think Optus might've been giving me their 'B' cable.
what a bastard
good enough
What sort of plan are you getting on NBN?getting NBN installed next week, so gonna chuck up pre NBN and post NBN speeds to compare them.
What sort of plan are you getting on NBN?
For whatever reason I couldn't post my speedtest results ... but I get about 16Mbps down / 0.5 Mbps up on a TPG "offnet" plan (meaning, I'm not actually using TPGs ADSL2+ lines)
There are a couple of different flavours (not sure what Telstra is offering mind you)Currently with Telstra (which I hate) so not sure what speed I'll be getting, didn't ask them.
Don't know too much about the NBN in general, but I'm getting the box that's on the outside of the house to the powerline installation, not sure if this is standard?
But I will share the speeds on here after it's installed.

But with TPG for example, there is a max 12Mbps plan, 25Mbps plan and 100Mbps plan
The connection itself depends on what's available in your area. I know someone who works for the NBN and they have fibre to the premises (FTTP) which was the "standard" under the old Labor government
The Libs changed things to make the standard FTTN (fibre to the node) which are the boxes you might see in your street. It'd be worth checking what you are getting, plan-wise
