NBN consumer grade fibre aka FTTP uses GPON as the network technology and it cannot support symmetrical speeds like those. It maxes out at 400mbps.

I had 100/40 for 5 years on fttn

Getting fttp is cheaper than what i pay now

Leaptel got 12 month plan for 100/40 and you get free fibre

But the question is can you afford it?

The latest ACCC NBN Wholesale Market Indicators report shows that people are dropping down to the 25Mbps speed tier. One can assume the reason is to save money as interest rates and inflation bite. This makes sense as many people were upgraded by RSPs from 25Mbps to 50Mbps when the Liberals started bundling CVC with the 50Mbps plan. The next step will be for people to abandon the NBN and use the data included with their mobile phone plans.

Or even better just remove the speed tiers completely.

they need to cancel 25/5 , 50/20 and 100/40

just do minimum 300/100 for residents

faster for residents 1000/400

and business should get maybe 1000/1000 and 2000/2000

the 25/5 and 50/20 and 100/40 a waste of time

1000/1000
500/500
100/100

I believe this is the first occasion where all upgrade locations are listed in one document.

I’m very close to FTTN houses in the Adelaide Hills but have been put on FW as I’m a little too far from the node. My TCP quote is still too high for me to justify at $18.6k. If not, hopefully this will reduce significantly.
