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.
Bit or byte, those are completely different experiences.
We moved this week, so we had to swap our internet contract, because if we moved with the type of connection we had, we’d only get 16Mbits/s. With our current one, we get I think 500Mbit/s or about 60MByte/s
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.
My mom told me she’s on 25 Mbps the other day. Have no idea how she survives.
You can play online games and use discord on that.
Lived in a place that advertised 100Mbps speeds. Bullshit. It had 25Mbps on a good day. Lets not talk about the bad days.
Bro 25 would be sick. Most of my days I struggle to hit 2.
I’m in Australia and get about 100. High latency to the rest of the world though
I am rural Australia, it’s awful for internet lmao.
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
