        I’m in Australia and get about 100. High latency to the rest of the world though

            I’m in Canberra, so a nice mix of nearby bushland and rural, with an almost big enough town centre 20 minutes away

            It sucks that the previous government screwed the NBN, I missed it as I already had FTTN, you missed it because it was cities first

            I think your best option is starlink now

              I was never getting any kind of fibre no matter what lmao.

              I’m not touching starlink, I’ll just hope Vodafone puts a new local tower in so I can bail on Telstra, fuckers charge over double for like 15% better service, but I do need that 15% sadly, games like Minecraft literally won’t work online on my Vodafone sim.

      Instant gratification has rotted y’all’s brains. A stable 25 down is not just survivable but cromulent. I’m on 100 down 40 up and can’t imagine how having a gigabit connection would make my experience any better when the bottlenecks are generally upstream of the ISP.

        100% this. Latency is far more important than bandwidth for most things and I’d much rather have a 50/20 FTTP service than a 300/100 cable or DSL line.

        Nah, fuck off with that shit. I wanna download a modern game in less than 3 hours, thank you very much

        My 500 both ways has yet to hit a bottleneck when it comes to large downloads, and has saved me hours upon hours of time since I got upgraded from 100. You have no idea what youre on about
