Alright guys, after some advice from those in the know.
Need to connect new house to NBN. Just need performance to do the standard things like Spotify, Netflix etc.
Who out there has a good plan they are really happy with?
Thanks in advance you bloody legends!
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
we use internode, we are on their base speed and unlimited data for about $60 per month. we chew heaps of data because we run HD Foxtel through the tele via Foxtel Now. so if you dont need as much data then there are cheaper packages. service is tops.
highly recommend.
I use MATE Communicate. Based in Wetherill Park and have really good customer service.
Haven't had any drop outs or perfromance issues.
Pay $80 (I think) a month for 50/20 that has unlimited data and no lock in contract. Brother and Father have gone with the same mob and similarly had no issue.
Happy with my choice

My brother and many others swear by Aussie Broadband. No contract, good monthly rates and inclusions, all Australian based support.
I recommend Telstra.
For NBN? Shouldn't really matter who you are with as it still uses the same crappy bit of copper unless you are one of the lucky FTTP ones. Could also be that TPG is terrible at managing CVC congestion which means your peak time speeds will be abysmal. Aussie Broadband and Telstra are both considered very good at maintaining that.

Move to the promised land out west...FTTP (the way it should be).
Streaming two EPL games in HD, working online and still pulling at 90Mbps - usually above 95 consistently.
Meanwhile... Telstra adsl2 (most we can get in our area) lucky to get over 2 mbps and often goes to shit between 5pm and 10pm

Telstra and Optus are terrible as well in certain areas. Most of your speed will be to do with how far from the cabinet / exchange you are not so much the ISP.
My sister has NBN with Telstra at Belmont North and is lucky to get 4mbit a second download.
Alternatively, I have a cabinet fifty metres from my house and was getting 19mbit a second donmload speed on ADSL2. When I swtiched to a 25mb NBN a year or so ago my speed is 24mbit per second download from a 25mbit plan. I'm with iinet.
We run two computers, high definition Sports / movies on both TV's simultaneously and have no issues.
Again, where you are is the issue not so much the ISP. Your neighbours connection will be just as shit as yours - if it's not then there is an issue at the exchange.

No sorry Dave - Maitland South is a "brownfields" area - they had to replace the copper with fibre and we got the good stuff. Unfortunately the consumer doesn't get a choice as it is based on where you live and what infrastructure was installed.
I cheered to the gods when I found out we were to get FTTP.
I currently have an older Apple TV which doesn't have all the Free-to-air catch up services on it. Only has Channel 10 and doesn't support the others.
Is there a box, like Chromecast, Foxtel Box or equivalent that has all FTA catch up services on them? Struggling to find adequate information.
