Yes I thought that would be so. I am several hundred km from Brisbane and ping 10ms with FTTP on a 30Gbps download speed.
Yes I thought that would be so. I am several hundred km from Brisbane and ping 10ms with FTTP on a 30Gbps download speed.I ping 2 to my ISP's same city Capital server, Fibre to the home.
Here are my results for a FTTH (Fibre to the Home) connection. I'm paying $NZ129 for a 200/100Mbps service, but could upgrade to ~1000/500Mbps if I buy my own router capable of this throughput. FTTH is the only way to go. These results were from Tauranga (NZ) to Sydney (AU) which is around 2300kms via international fibre, while simultaneously connected to a VPN to Wellington for work purposes:Yes I thought that would be so.

We had gigabit towns over 12 months ago!100 Mbps maximum in Australia. NZ has 1000Mbps download speed?
Okay. With 30Gbps download speed I get almost instant depending on the size of data transfered. Can't imagine what 1000Gbps download speed would be like but I suppose the infrastructure (i.e. all fibre, part copper) between server and client would determine achieving near 1 gig. and I assume instant download.We had gigabit towns over 12 months ago!
I assume you mean 30Mbps... Very few sites support streaming of data up to 1000Mbps, but even on a 200/100Mbps service I actually get what I pay for 24*7. I've never encountered a slowdown at (say) 7pm weeknights or any buffering. This is even while we have Netflix HD streaming, and I'm working via a VPN while keeping an eye on the News online (streaming HD). Luckily our house was wired with Cat5e cabling when it was built and I have a Gigabit switch connected to the fibre modem. If I was to upgrade to 1000Mbps, the ISP supplied Huawei modem (HG253S) is actually limited to about 300Mbps, so it would become the bottleneck before the FTTH network would. Which is one of the main reasons I haven't upgraded to a gigabit service - I'd need to purchase a new modem.Okay.

Installation for us here in NZ for FTTH was free - including the ETP (External Termination Point) and the internal termination point. The Government picked up the tab (thank you National). Rolled out by UltraFast Fibre (www.ultrafastfibre.co.nz) - via Chorus technicians.One would assume FTTP will be available, but will probably be at the consumers cost, then it would at least be on a needs basis. Not everyone wants or indeed needs 100MB, and from an actual physical perspective, running the last 100m to the premise would be the most difficult and costly.
Yes M not G sorry.I assume you mean 30Mbps...
I have the Modem capable and bought it about 4 years ago with speed, wireless hub and VOIP in mind. VOIP to eliminate the Telstra connection fees and charges but have since struck a great bundle deal with Telstra so VOIP not ventured into.

Not everyone needs 100Mbps is just like saying no one will ever need to travel faster than 16km/h - the speed of the first automobile. Not everyone needs to drive at 110km/h on duplicated freeways, but they can! Time is money and when you work from home (l consider myself extremely lucky) having an extremely fast network connection is a must! I have actually accessed client networks quicker via an external VPN connection, than users on the internal network - due to a lack of congestion compared with the internal routers / switches. I also have a better work-life balance, pay next to nothing in vehicle running costs, don't get stressed "getting" to work and have the flexibility of working out of normal business hours.
Fibre theoretically doesn't have a bandwidth, if you start to send multi-colored light down the same fibre optic tube. Why the Australian Government is spending $50+billion on a white-elephant with 3 legs and no trunk, I'll never understand! At that price, it could have just about built it's own Government owned network and paid for it over time from the ISP rentals.
Couldn't find the "throughput" specified anywhere. This is the critical specification: WAN-LAN throughput.Netcomm NF3ADV
Which is probably why fibre should have been rolled out state wide, rather than country wide! Do it once... do it properly. The FTTN is rubbish because: 1) you're still using copper between the Node and the Home, but 2) you have congestion directly at the Node. FTTP/FTTH has fibre all the way to the exchange and no congestion, until it gets to the ISP - which could be one of 100's.We would probably all have FTTP, if everyone in Australia, lived between Brisbane and Sydney.

What will it cost Australia to finally separate itself from the monopoly of Telstra (copper) and finally go FTTP / FTTH? Another $50billion? They should be doing it NOW, while interest rates are so low, rather than wasting money on WiFi / Satellite / FTTN rubbish.
Oh how the "lucky country" is no longer looking so "lucky".
.... until it gets to the ISP - which could be one of 100's.
Like I said, I would be suprised if the node isn't configured in such a way, that the copper to the house can be upgraded to fibre.
This could be done on an as required( due to copper degradation) or as the end user reaches the limitations of the copper speed and the want faster speeds.
The nodes use hardware that are copper specific. The fibre that connects to the node is different to the fibre that FTTP uses for the final connection. It needs different, specific hardware.
