How are we liking the new NBN speeds?
Fucking oath.
We

FAST.

1Gbps is enough

>>721133325 (OP)
NBN? Must be nice.
I use Aldi pay as you go, basically anyone can call or text you but you have to pay to do it back.
Then I use Felix for $40 a month.

ausburgers finally got first world internet?

>>721136915
How are you this disgustingly poor?

>>721136975
Our old government back flipped in 2020 after a decade of saying 25 Mbps was future proof

>>721137117
I'm not poor, just frugal and on the move a lot.
I own a unit outright but I rent it out and just live in my car, pic related.
All my spare money goes into EFT's or physical gold. Currently saving to go nomad in Asia, hopefully permanently. I'll get an inheritance which should cover the unit costs in 20 years.
Countries fucked. Hyper inflation is coming.

>>721137391
What if it's windy or heavy rain? Have you ever fallen off?

>mumbai'ourne has first world internet finally
too bad the country is now third world

>>721137567
Had some hairy nights. I just pack it up and sleep in the car.

what's even the point in fast internet anymore, all the good torrents are fucked since no one seeds anymore..

>>721137391
how old are you?

>>721133325 (OP)
Nice Ausbros, good on you
Now we just wait for literally any video game that has more than one 32/32 server to play on.

>>721138003
download the latest 356gb slop in a few hours rather than a few days

>>721138023
Turned 31 a few weeks ago.

>ausjeets have first world internet
wowzers

>>721133325 (OP)
Change your cpe/FW. Fiber allos you to have 2gbps up and down

>>721133325 (OP)
>not symmetrical
lol
lmao even

>upgrade to fiber from docsis
>get higher ping than before
I called to complain about it today and they did a bunch of shit to the router but still wasn't fixed. longest tech support phone call ever too 40 minutes
They gonna bump it up to a "higher level" whatever that means but I have little hope.

>500 down
>50 up
I'm tired bros. I just want to seed

>>721138320
I mean Aussie internet has been solid for over a decade now.
Its just a case of some landlords getting ass-pains because people wont move in if they dont have fiber.
Now after 13 odd years a lot of them have stopped fucking around.

The "laggy Aussie" was a meme from 2009~2012 when Rupert Murdoch was blocking internet infrastructure upgrades and trying to shut down Netflix because he didnt want any competition on his monopoly over TV/radio/print

>>721138427
inb4 some northshore HR Karen gives you the
>what do YOU need more upload speeds for, criminal scum!?
email

1 MB/s was enough for me as a boomer.
All of this high speed that I get now spoils me.
If I could buy a cheaper internet plan than what I get now, I would.

>>721138028
>Chorus Fiber Lab
>Connecting to Chorus
Nice internal network, faggot

>>721136915
Felix is so good for the price. I don't even use a modem anymore, just hotspot. Dropped my phone plan to minimal data now too because of it. Save a lot of money.

I remember when I had a 20gb internode plan and I used to batch all my downloads the night before the month reset because there was a delay in throttling your internet so you could go way over quota

>>721133325 (OP)
your latency to the rest of the world still sucks so you still can't play online lmao

Try not living in a city you faggots, see how good the internet is for everyone who isn't gay.

>>721133325 (OP)
How does this help with dead OCE servers in all games?

>>721137391
Where are you buying gold from? The Perth mint? What about silver? Are you into that too? Shit is at an all-time high but they say it's going to keep skyrocketing through 2026 and I want in.

>>721135153
fpbp
op btfo

>>721138860
Likewise.

I also miss the Internode 24/7 Office CS servers.

>>721139060
go grow my food lmao

>>721139059
So few people seem to be able to grasp that concept.

More speed doesn't mean shit if your latency sucks, and that's a physical limitation for those of us down-under (not so much distance since speed of light etc etc, but the amount of switching hardware our signal has to travel through increasing latency).

>>721139060
That's plenty of speed. Your ping looks fine too, so I don't know what the fuck you're complaining about.

Get back out in those fields & keep farming shit for the rest of us.

>>721138125
Seriously, why are there so many old people here? I always assumed that most of the posters here would be between the ages of 18-21. I'm 19 and if I saw myself posting past the age of 21 I would kill myself, so I can't imagine all these guys in their mid 20s and 30s using this website and feeling okay about it.

>>721139261
Perth Mint, yeah.
I have 6 ounces of Gold, 2 of Silver, 2 of Platinum.
There is a reseller in Adelaide but I cbf parking in the city.
My biggest problem is all the KYC and CGT. Take all the risk, they reap some of the reward. Worst case they confiscate it in desperate times. Same applies to bitcoin.
I have about $15k in bitcoin too.
These aren't for short term gain, purely long term and protection for a potential hyper inflation, which seems plausible considering we have basically zero economic diversity and the greenies want to shut up shop from mining.

AWWW STREWTH CUNT FUCKEN VB I'M STRAYAN V8S FOOTY PIE FOOTY PIE SMOKE A DURRY SMOKE MORE CONES HELLO YOU ABSOLUTE LEGENDS AND DEAD SET FUCKEN DOGS PLEASE FUCKEN PAY ATTENTION TO US SEPPOS PLEASE LOOK HOW QUIRKY WE ARE PLEASE VALIDATE OUR EVERY MOVE LOOK WE HAVE BASKETBALL PLAYERS YOU LIKE BASKETBALL DON'T YOU? OH PLEASE DADDY FUCK MY ARSEHOLE

>>721139139
when you tell aussies to come play an old game they can actually download and play it same day

>>721133325 (OP)
Superloop upgraded me to 750, very based

>>721136915
Our mobile plans have turned to absolute shit. I used to be able to get $60/year mobile plans for unlimited texts/sms + 5GB/month which was enough for me, now literally every single cunt network went to $150+/year.

>>721139453
that's just part of being young, you still have a lot of weird high school shame about being adult

>>721139453
I grew up using 4chan. Just something I like to come back to every so often. Forums and forum culture is largely dead and I don't have much else as Twitter is gay as fuck and reddit is full of leftists with a hard banhammer.
There are various game communities full of old fags. If you ever play Battlefield, at least half your team will be 40-70 years old.

i have 400 down
thats good enough for me

do you guys even utilize 1k+ down?
4k streaming is only 50 down
i doubt you download games everyday

>>721139453
Fast forward 5 years and you'll still be here zoomie, too weak to commit suicide.

>>721139674
>our mobile plans have turned to shit
They were excellent about 8 years ago. I used to pay $12.50 a month for Boost that gave 10gb per month, unlim calls + texts + international calls and texts. These days it's $25 for the same plan and you get ~25gb a month.
Aldi Mobile is $19 still but I believe they are increasing to $25 later this year(?).
Now I just pay for Aldi Pay as You Go and Felix Mobile. $5 a year for Aldi and I rarely ever call or text anyone, we use Signal or Whatsapp, or they know to call me, and the internet is the cheapest for unlimited. I use about 1TB a month.
Does your $60 include the phone? High end phones cost a lot these days.

>>721139453
Who uses a website with a plan to stop using it 2 years later
Just stop now and leave us alone

>>721139453
i have been posting on this board for longer than you have been alive.

21 years. 21 long years.

>>721137391
This looks fucking sick. How much do these costs?

land of the """""""free"""""" acting all smug when I still see them complaining about caps and having to choose between shit or shitter ISPs

I appreciate getting movies and games faster but it doesn't help me at all with playercount. So many games pass us by while Europe and America get full servers, it sucks major dick.

>>721140318
NBN is Government owned.
>>721140902
Is Starlink any lower ping? If I recall it was 30-50ms to / from the Satellite itself.

>>721139453
>He thinks he can leave

>>721139453
Why don't you do us all a favour and fuck off now.

>>721139453
Remember, you're here forever.

>>721139059
Can't we just play with Japanese people

>>721139453
im 24 and working right now while posting lol

>>721139453
kids are hilarious

Want to kms every day.

>>721142304
I had better ADSL than this

>>721133325 (OP)
Still topping out at a hundred down and fifty up on a proper FTTP connection. I guess the upgrade hasn't reached my area yet. Fuckin hell, that speed looks insane.

>>721142362
Trust me, I'm aware how dog shit it is. Pretty sure there are literally places in Africa with better internet

what games are we playing lads?

>>721142642
Probably not even particularly well-off places either. Rural Australia's a shitshow because of how ancient the infrastructure is. At least thirdies are getting fresh modern gear right off the bat.

>>721142727
Fate/stay night

Did you guys unfuck your whole fiber optic situation?

>>721142727

no lmao

>>721141953
>superloop chad
based
i love em
kinda wanna swap tho, their service kinda shitty now since theyve sold out to indians
at least its still fast, i guess, and cheap

>move a lot for work
>have my own modem
>every single house lacks a bedroom ethernet port, have to rely on dogshit wifi
On the plus side Telstra fucks up moving so bad that I've only paid 2 months out of the past year because they keep giving me credit when I leave bad reviews

>>721142821
I have had optic cable outside my house for 2 years now but I sill cannot get a fibre connection into my house.

>can't have modem in my room
>had to setup a navmesh network because normal wifi adapter was being shit
>can't even get the full speed I'm paying for

>>721143883
that upload is wild btw, wish i had that

running a plex server on 50up is gay

>>721142304
>leaptel
hello saar
please do the needful and off power your router on

>>721144005
250/100 is $110/mo
1000/400 is $150/mo

>>721133325 (OP)
Unfortunately still living in the middle of nowhere sticks, but at least Starlink exists now, anything to be off Fixed Wireless

>>721142821
All it took was having a fucking Labor government stay in charge for five minutes.

>tasmania
>starlink
it aint bad

incest meme
best I can do

>>721147618
not enough incest honestly

>>721146116
>>721147550
the downsides of starlink are more than made up for by not having to see picrel

>>721147703
you can bypass this by using google's dns lmao probably quad 9s too

i live in a rural town so i didn't get shit

>>721142943
Just run an ethernet cable along the ground you tard

>>721147703
1.1.1.1

8.8.8.8

>>721139453
What the fuck are you suppose to do after your 20s when you have nothing else to do? Read a book? Use twitter?

Most old people just use tik tok or YouTube shorts anyway so how is that any different?

>>721148867
reading a book is definitely a top tier option

>>721133325 (OP)
Congrats Aussies you finally have internet as good as Eastern European shitholes did 10 years ago.

>>721148893
what book tho

>>721148893
Books are gay because I can't interact with the characters in the book world

>>721147967
I am not running an ethernet cable across 5 rooms and up a flight of stairs when I'm living with randos dude

>>721133325 (OP)
I've not been home the last few days and won't be for several more so I can't see if anything has changed for me but these upgrades are for people that were previously fibre to their kerb and then copper the rest of the way right, I presume us fixed wireless cucks are still fucked.
They should just reactivate old copper for us to switch to for ping critical applications, we can just switch back to the wireless for downloads

>>721149050
lmao. whats your job, professional kiddy-diddler?

>>721138028
Those times are long over the golden times aren't coming back. ISP hosted servers are never happening ever again. Developer/Publisher servers running in some shitty budget sydney datacenter don't hit the same.

>>721147703
As stated by >>721147803 and >>721148006
Website blocking in Australia only applies to ISP DNS. Literally any other DNS provider isn't blocking anything.

>>721149114
civil engineer, i move from project to project every ~4 months - kiddy diddling is more of a amateur hobby

when my position and wage are good enough from working private I'll use them as leverage for a good council position where I'll be able to stay in one area

>>721148867
Go fishing and camping, build models of shit, get your gun loicense and shoot rabbits and foxes on your property, play an instrument, that's what I plan on doing anyway, the internet is getting gayer and gayer

>>721149272
I'm not a network engineer, I don't know what those nerds are saying. I just want to download rare Cold Chisel LPs

>>721149353
Even normies know about cloudflare dns. You have no excuse.

>>721133325 (OP)
No get fucked NBN Co. shill
I'm staying on my 25mbs plan out of spite no matter how hard you try to funnel everyone to the 100 now 500 mbs plans by raising the minimum price I will single-handedly drag down your precious statistic you corporate cunts
fuck HFC

>>721147703
You don't run your own DNS server? Pretty fucking retarded to rely on govt regulated shit down here.

Upgraded to around 560Mbps from 80mbps. pretty nice desu.

>>721139453
Anon all the other places online where one can talk about vidya were always worse than here and none of them got better while /v/ got worse, they all turned further to shit.
