It is insane to me that a wired connection has higher latency than LTE/phone for gaming. But then again, Trumpbull...

Chiming in to say that FTTP is the bomb and it’s loving criminal that every single premise (within reason) in Australia doesn’t have FTTP.

Around the time the NBN (HFC) came to my street, my adsl connection turned really shithouse. Obviously they're completely separate cables but in the depths of my frustration I want to believe it's a conspiracy to get me to switch over... for some reason  It's a rental and I'll be moving out next year so I CBF getting nbn right now

SadisTech posted:My NBN experience on the old Foxtel HFC network has been pretty poor so far. I can't complain about the speeds - they are in fact as advertised. But the connection stability is loving appalling, with pings spiking as high as 650 ms every few seconds. I was a big online gamer. I can't do it any more without tearing my hair out. And there is no other option. My parents are having issues on HFC where it'll be sitting at 10 MBPS about 90% of the time and the remaining 10% will be these 30-second-or-more jags of sub 500k, particularly in peak, with the router logs even showing four or five 'ISP disconnect' events a night in peak hours. The ISP controls the router so I'm sure they'll patch out our ability to see that soon. I expect we'd be seeing the same issues as you with ping if I still lived there and gamed. And hell, they were early adopters in their area. This HFC area is probably only just getting started to get congested. They're already wanting to know if they can go back to ADSL, and I think we're ultimately going to end up in situations where a lot of HFC people will be demanding their non-NBN DSL connections back because of better performance.

Did the ALP say they were going to go back and fix all the FTTN/HFC connections and convert them to fiber to the curb or whatever? Or are the people with HFC stuck with it now? I gather FTTC won't be as good as FTTP but at least it is within the realms of affordability if you desperately want to get a full fiber connection, instead of having to pay to run fiber from the nearest node.

I think the only way to locate the node is to walk around looking for the box and use national map or whatever to figure out the service area. There might be a better way but last time I checked you need to locate the green box and use a speed tracker or whatever to narrow it down. The speed things will at least tell you if you are near one or totally hosed though.

They can't, they shut off the old services after 18 months of NBN availability. It would require a change of that policy/legislation and ISPs will probably be against it because it puts them on the hook for increased uplink charges again.

This is hosed. The copper in my area is so rooted I get less than 1mbps in the dry and frequent dropouts or complete loss if it's rained recently, so I'm on hfc. Getting nbn hfc rolled out in the next few months. No chance I can roll back to adsl because it's garbage and from everything I've read nbn hfc is garbage too.

Download speed is fine, bandwidth is fine and I haven't noticed like mega lag spikes, but I also don't play CS:GO. That having been said, every now and then there'll be this period where the connection just drops at random like 3 or 4 times a day. Calling TPG reveals that it's because of NBN "works" projects or some bullshit in the area. It's less than great but it is what it is. I will say that 4K from mobile tethering on my phone is *so much* better than the wires.

Violent scenes have erupted at a Sydney fundraising event for Tony Abbott, with protesters clashing with police and guests, including the former prime minister's sister. Several hundred protesters outside the event in Redfern confronted invited guests, including Mr Abbott's sister Christine Forster, whose jacket was ripped as she struggled through the crowd. Ms Forster was forced back from the entrance until police formed a ring around her and pushed their way through the crowd. The protest is being held to oppose Australia's offshore detention system and will be attended by Immigration Minister Peter Dutton. Both Mr Dutton or Mr Abbott eluded the protesters and were not seen entering the event. One protester was pushed over by a man arriving at the event before police were able to intervene. Another guest, who did not want to be named, told AAP he believed the protesters were "doing more harm than good for their course". NSW police confirmed at least one person had been arrested during the protest. Greens Senator Lee Rhiannon, who was at the protest, defended the protesters and said the refugees on Manus Island needed to be evacuated. "What was full-on was the police, the police have mishandled tonight," Ms Rhiannon told AAP. "We're here standing with the 600 men on Manus Island, I'm angry, so many people are angry." Hundreds of men have been holed up in the Manus Island detention facility for more than a week after it was shut down. A showdown is looming at the centre with PNG authorities warning they will use force to remove barricaded asylum seekers. The men believe it's safer to remain in the compound than risk being attacked by locals at new facilities near the main township of Lorengau.

How unlike Abbott to sell out his sister and let her take the brunt of the protest while he slinks in and out of a secret entrance. It's almost like he's a massive coward.

I was pissfarting around on a "service finder" type web tool looking at whether there was any chance the school I work at would get NBN any time soon. For my site it says NBN is "Not possible", "unserviceable" and NBN Voice is "not possible", and same for both the phone lines we have. All the residential areas around have been rolled out and in service for months. So is NBN not ever going to be available to the school? What are our voice services supposed to be when full cut over happens? We're on wifi for the school internet and its barely adequate despite only just having been upgraded. The education department is supposed to handle cutting over when the time comes so it isn't really my concern, someone beyond my paygrade will have to sort it out. Just incomprehensible to me that schools and other public services weren't any kind of priority. I guess schools can't vote, though. Anyway for my own interest I emailed someone at NBNCo asking about the status of the site. No reply yet. Stoca Zola fucked around with this message at 12:59 on Nov 10, 2017 |

People with long driveways are getting this treatment, either being put on fixed wireless or to the back of the queue. What, you expect the Liberal National Party to invest in Public Schools? hah.
