  Let’s see what actually gets passed on by retailers though…

    Yeah but can you imagine how much less efficient it would be without those profit driven businesses involved?

      You might be shocked to learn that NBNCo was set up and designed to be “profit driven” too then?

  I can’t wait to not be able to access this on my shitty fucking FTTN.

    I’ll really annoy you by saying that VDSL2 (the tech you are using) supports up to around 250mbit throughput but no Aussie ISP has enabled that option. Your modem probably already supports it because its a pretty old standard.

    Enjoy, have a nice day.

      FTTN can in theory get higher speeds, but hardly anyone has a line short and high quality enough to actually achieve them so NBN Co doesn’t even bother.

      FTTC can provide these sorts of speeds, FTTN, not so much. VDSL2 can deliver 250Mbit/s at around 200m.

  at no extra wholesale cost to retailers.

  And at no extra cost to customers, right? Right?

    eh. for most tiers probably, but its an excuse to reshuffle the options and pricing.

      Just call them. Superloop gave me a $10 per month discount when my 6month deal ran out.

  That’s good to hear. Now if I could only get NBN service (other than SkyMuster) at my place, that would be swell.

  Fixed wireless still capped at 75/10 and lucky to get 25/5 in peak hours… So this is just extending the digital divide they claimed would never happen

    They’re actually upgrading the Fixed Wireless network already as we speak. Customers on 75/10 will be automatically upgraded to 100/20 and the wholesale price will match other technologies. From mid-2024 90% of customers will be upgraded to 200-250/20 in line with these speed tier upgrades. They will also start offering a Superfast tier at 400/40 to 80% of customers. Part of the upgrades is also ensuring peak throughput, and they’re also doubling the range of each tower to enable new connections to a bunch of satellite customers.
