What do you guys think... Are we still behind the times when it comes to internet speeds in Australia?

This should be a mandatory video for TPG Australia.!!!

Great video mate !! Good to see the whole process !

Agreat handy video, just the one I'VE been looking for, having NBN in tomorrow to do the change over and as a retired electrician I had a 1000 questions and they have nearly all been answered here thank you

Nice. Good amount of details. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome video my friend. Just about to have this work done also and it was great to see how it is done. looks like I need to do some pre-work to ensure the fibre inside the house is routed where I want it.

the contractor looks like friendly and professional.

From NZ - welcome to glorious fibre to the house speeds. Great work getting the Fibre run through the house as close as possible to the router too!

Great video and good information. I'm looking to move back to Australia and one of the things I will have to get use to is the slower internet speeds! I will definitely check my potential home for this upgrade. You're upgraded speeds is still slower than my current speeds but shouldnt be too bad 😁

Thanks for posting this video and the for commentary. My install is schedule for today and I've received almost no information as to what's involved. I'm confident my FTTP upgrade is about as simple as it gets. Hopefully I don't get stuffed around with multiple visits because someone only does half a job.

Very interesting to see this. It will be a struggle to stop the NBN molesting my walls with that external box.

Great video I was wondering how people were getting this done

Great video thank you im excitedd for my upgrade in 2 days i just hope they can do it before the end of the day. Orange rope is there mines just going on the other side

There is also a maximum amount fibre can bend before it breaks, it's not just to make it easier

What's your honest estimate of all the cost to go from 100 down to 223 down? eg: as an Electrician what would you have charged to install that conduit and what was the RSP plan increase change per month?

Hello. I am going to do the same. I want to install my NTD on a brick wall so not quite as easy! I was ondering how big of a hole I need for the fibre cable to come through? Is the green connector pre - terminated please? Thanks!

Those AFL connectors putting fusion splicers on the shelf, it's funny how these companies take advantage of the resident not knowing anything about acceptance loss. I figured you lost about minimum .4 dB possibly .6, the contamination was all over plus a good tech would have cleaned out the bulkhead before insertion, regardless. If he had burned on pigtails, could have been less loss, around .2dB, it depends on what kind of upload application you are needing at the residence, so for every 1dB loss is 20%. I did not see what the power meter was reading but a good tech would have had OTDR and calculated all the loss for you to the NBN. Some facilities would never allow those AFL connectors, it's residential so, the hell do they know, If you are paying for that drop, 100% I am sure you not getting the full benefit of that SM.

Unfortunately if you live in a S.A housing trust block of units they run it down the driveway and just leave the copper wiring and connect to that instead to the unit.

I can't believe that your NBN provided uostreams are only 25mbit on a 250mbit plan. In NZ and the US they're symmetrical for most ISPs.

Really good explanation thanks

according to NBN, for the public health and safety, when you are hauling the cable, you need to barricade all the working areas with cones and tiger tiles. big defect when the supervisor comes on site. they will make it very big issue for you

A question for you, did you notice if they cleaned the fibre connectors before they got plugged in? 🤔 I see you are getting a ping of 9ms but I get that on FTTN with speeds of around 105/23 so it should be much lower like about 3ms. Thanks for the video, I'm due for upgrade in a few days, hope they don't cancel on me 😜

Those speeds are better than my FTTN NBN connection

Hi can the NTD box be placed where the existing phone port inside the house?

If it was up to speed, none of us would be upgrading !!!

It's crazy to me how many people in Australia (myself included) are still not using full fibre. In my case it's only Fibre to the Node and I'm way too far from the Node to get speeds beyond what ADSL 2 was giving. I was complaining about my internet speed back in 2014 and 10 years later it's barely any better than it was.

That ping still looks high for fibre id be raising a fault.. 26 ping on fibre is too high

Your upstream is still capped at 20mbps....

I see your upload speed is a little slower than with the old connection. That surprises me as a lot of users need higher upload speed to upload videos to KZfaq etc. You haven't really gained anything with the upload speed and your previous download speed at around 100Mbps was pretty good for most usage: you won't really notice much difference with the download speed as at 100Mbps most stuff would load almost immediately anyway. Playing games of course might be an advantage.

Ouch, 26ms ping on FTTP, Just waiting for FTTP activation my physical install was finished an hour ago. My FTTN ping was 8ms, hoping FTTP ping is better than that (gamer household)

Drawstring will go rotten by the time they get to pull the new cable...waiting...waiting....

About 10 years too late. I'm still waiting.. waiting.. endless waiting for FTTP....

did you ask if they would have done this for you>?

im still on adsl 2 :(

I have NBN it’s a joke have the same coaxial cable installed by Telstra 25yrs ago, Told by NBN that I’m a happy Customer, project that’s blown out $85 billion & only 39% Aussie have fibre to the home, Remember Rudd coming out saying it will cost each Aussie Taxpayer $14k to fund, also I approached NBN to get fibre to my premise, under their “Business Segment” quoted, No lie $36000 because the closet DJL Fibre Joint was 1.3 Kilometres away, what a joke waste of money.

It's weird that only those with fibre to the curb get free upgrade. Most are on hybrid fibre nbn which, I heard, is mostly copper as they use coax cables which were installed for cable tv decades ago for cable tv along poles on the streets. It's like a scam.
