    When Telstra offered me 25/5 I kept mentioning Optus and how good their plans were and finished up with 100/40 with speed boost for the same money. After the 1MB per minute downloads I put up with for fifteen years I didn't feel at all bad about putting the squeeze on them.

    NBN has been pretty awful here for the past week or so.
    Almost every second URL I try I end up with a "Connection closed by remote server", and speeds quite erratic as well.
    Going on the service of the past week or so, our previous ADSL service was much more consistent.
    Not happy Jan!

    Cheers,
    Terry

    The NBN have dug holes near my place and put down pits with the words NBN on the concrete covers. Apparently I live in high fire risk area, so it's all going underground. I might be lucky and get connected about 2018.

    Our suburb was connected to FTTN a couple of months ago.
    Paid for 25/5 and most of the time we get it.

    They have dug holes? You lucky man. I dream about our suburb one day being even mentioned on the NBN website. Just one of the many issues about living in a "safe" electoral seat for a major party, I suppose. You can check when you will get the NBN here http://www.nbnco.com.au/connect-home...r-address.html

    Not even on their radar yet.

    Hawthy, I don't think its the safeness of your electorate that counts.

    We live in a seat that is always one of the most marginal electorates in the country and there are areas in our electorate that are getting the nbn.

    But, the places that are getting it are "blue" polling places. Our town is very "Red" and we are so far away they'd have to use the Hubble to find us on the list, let alone radar.

    ^ surely service delivery has nothing to do with vote winning John.

    We were among the first suburbs here to get FTTN.
    Dunno if electorate has any influence but our seat has been Liberal for decades and don't see it changing.

    AFAICT, areas with no broadband access, or very substandard access are tending to get priority treatment.

    IMHO, that's fair enough too. We probably won't see the NBN here in my lifetime, but we already get 116 Mbps down (but a miserable 2.55 Mbps up ... ), so we are not hard done by! Top Telstra cable plan.

    My brother is on ADSL and is lucky to get 8/1 Mbps - outer suburb of Brisbane. Areas like his, or areas without any access, should get some sort of proper service before we get upgraded.

    Had it since Nov 2015 - has worked fine. Certainly more stable than Windows 10 has been for the past week since the Anniversary updates were issued.

    So it's just not me that's not amused by the recent upgrade.

    You are not on your own.

    I've just realised that every time MS update my system I can't access my Telstra mail account.

    Guys. Perhaps you can expand on these issues in the Win 10 thread,
    so that users thereof don't miss out on salient points.
