Where's the choice for those who get better value for money from their existing service, but who will have to move to the NBN as it is rolled out ?

How much use is all this speed in the real world?
In 1996 I opened an internet account with a then local company. I had a fancy new 28.8K modem which actually connected at about 21K most of the time. Slow but it worked, and it was all a bit of a novelty anyway.
Sometime later I got the 56K modem, which typically connected at about 45K in actual use. It was noticeably faster.
Then I went to broadband at 256K. Another very noticeable improvement.
Then iiNet upgraded this to 1.5M of their own accord. A minor benefit, but really only for watching You Tube videos etc.
Then they put me on ADSL2+. I've checked the speed, and it tests at 3.35M, but I have not noticed any practical benefit from the higher speed. None whatsoever. Zero. Zip.

Unless I'm putting it onto some other device, I struggle to see the benefit in downloading 120 minutes of TV in anything under 120 minutes. If it downloads at least as fast as I can watch it, what's the actual benefit in downloading it more quickly?I just downloaded a little under 2 hours of quality TV programming in a little under 75 minutes, with 256K that would of taken 2 or 3 hours at least...i see the difference everyday.

That doesn't change the fact that it's better value for money than the NBN.
Nonsense.
The comparison above is between 40gig/month (with a restriction) and 100gig/month for essentially the same monthly price.

take your agenda elsewhere, can Joe moderate posters pushing their agendas and only allow people to post who actually contribute to this forum?
Bugger me, some randoms have been uploading speed test screen shots from their '4G Mobiles' on the net....most are probably iPhone 5's.
Anyways, have a look at the speed some of them are getting...
Further to my post asserting that these are Optus cable rather than 4G results..... According to Optus they don't have a 4G network in Brisbane yet, making this result rather unlikely, wouldn't you say?

I don't know who your talking about but..
Your kidding aren't you.
Freedom of speech????
its a private forum, so freedom of speech CAN be thrown out the window, im talking bout people such as NBNMYTHS, who only come here to post on one thread, push a clear agenda for who knows why, its just murks the discussion. Similar to how on property forums spruikers arent allowed to post selling their respective 'products'.. just a thought.
I find NBNMyths posts right on target. He gives you all the technical information, links, info on the rollout, costs of plans and just about anything to do with the NBN. His comments are very informative and welcome to those (like me) who don't know that much about where we are with the NBN rollout. I welcome his comments far more than those that have political agendas to push, I have no interest in politics and I say a big thank you for all the time and effort NBNMyths puts into this thread.

I agree with everything you said Dutchie, just alerting to a possible slippery slope. Look at what happened over at 'propertyinvesting' forum, it got invaded by spruikers and now the forum is useless.
The point is that there are examples of ISP's offering better value from their ADSL plans than from their NBN plans. That's not spin, that's fact.Spin away....
dont confuse me as being against what hes saying, im in a similar boat to you although i dont agree on everything he says. My point is where do we draw the line, if I had a brokerage business would you want me on here talking about that trying to get support, no matter how factual or false the things i was saying?
