Telstra

[John Daniels]

I know there have been many discussions about Telstra service over the years 
but I'm interested to know if they have improved.
I'm with Westnet ADSL 2 but my speeds vary from 0.5Mb to a max of 2Mb sometimes 
being so slow it's frustrating.

Telstra are offering cable connection 30Mb and 25G data signing on for 2years. 
Same price within $2 of Westnet.

Can anyone tell me how cable really compares with my ADSL2

First find out when the NBN is coming to you. They might be locking you 
into something inferior once the NBN arrives.


Cheers

Hi Rob
NBN 2017 connecting to cable. By that time a contract with Telstra would be 
finished.

Re: Telstra

[Tim Law]

John I've had Telstra cable for several years. I moved from ADSL because the 
copper wires in my street were an ongoing problem in winter with the moisture 
causing problems. I had foxtel instal cable years ago for free when they were 
rolling it out, then stopped using it not long after.

Cable internet has been great. Recently Telstra gave me, unsolicited, a new 
Gateway Max modem/router and a three month free upgrade to their fast service. 
I used to pay for 100gb, which they upgraded to 200gb, then 500gb at no extra 
cost. Neat.

The new router and faster service is very nice. My first speedtest.net result 
was 110mbps download and 2.4mbps upload, up from the 30/1 I was used to. By the 
way, this was measured via wifi on my iPad. Cat5 Ethernet tends to be slower, 
-- around 70mbps.

I recommend it.  Speed doesn't vary much due to down the road usage.
