REMINDER: Check your NBN speeds after the weekend upgrade

Submitted ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨zero_gravitas@aussie.zone⁩ to ⁨australia@aussie.zone⁩

The NBN upgrade went through over the weekend (see here: aussie.zone/post/23680848).

Some providers have switched plans over without customers having to do anything, but others might require you to select the new plan manually. (Those providers are no doubt banking on some people being unaware or forgetting to change - at least for a while - so they don’t need to buy as much back-haul bandwidth.)

New speeds for each tier:

You will, of course, need a fibre connection to actually get these speeds.

I just run a speed test on my UniFi System on ABB FTTP. From 108 at 5:26am this morning to 545 this afternoon.

  Note to Unifi users. I had enabled Smart Queues which left me at 100/16 until I discovered and disabled it. Had me stumped for 30min.

Looks like I got upgraded for free - was on 1000/40 and am now getting over 80 upload:

I’d hope that’s usually enough to stream 4K videos haha

Not entirely true. HFC can do the higher speeds, albeit only up to 100mbit upstream.

So glad I moved from a FTTP connected house to a Fixed Wireless serviced area.

Although I am setting higher than advertised download speeds, which I think may be due to having a 4th gen connection in an area where almost everyone I talk to is using 2nd gen and doesnt seem to understand why you would want to update.

On ABB I had to kick the connection and restart the NTD.

Something I’ve been wondering, since the area I’m in isn’t due for FTTP until at least next year, does FTTN see the connection go unshaped to whatever the line can handle? Or does it just stay at the old speeds.

I’m specifically thinking of uploads. Long story short; I went from 100/40 to 100/20 and while it’s not a big issue it has affected some of my home server stuff. If it went to 100/100 or something I’d be happy as a clam but I’m betting it’s the case where it’ll stay as 100/20.

@zero_gravitas unless of course you're still stuck on FTTN

Yep, 500/50 instead of 100/20

Still stuck on PMG copper with no relief in sight.

I was already on ultrafast, and never hit 50 during uploads in any case, so the upgrade hasn’t made much difference to me
