Fuck me, I'm in a little coastal village and I'm on gig
I can get 1000mbps from one provider when fibre finally arrives - the catch: it is 1000/50 which seems... well, fucked...
And $149 a month.

I'm on a gig plan, actual is 950/500, $85 with no contract, I can swap any time a better deal arrives

Unfortunately we can't get cheap internet because the muppet who originally set up the framework insisted NBN achieve a market return. Considering our net debt, it would be a better solution if it was added to the books and the capex just accepted as a sunk cost.

@Kiap not sure about the corrsion, but there is ~930m of copper between my house and the nearest node, so....
I get about 26mbps on average.
I'd say you were right then, 3rd rate -- if there's no dropouts, that is (some other poor saps can't even get consistent 25Mbps).
@NTA said in Aussie Rugby:
Fibre arriving some time soon apparently.
Some folks are already signing up for the FibreConnect upgrade. If you contact your provider (provided they're not a shit tier ISP) and your area is eligible now, they can probably hook you up in around 5-6 weeks.

Very few dropouts. TBH it is quite stable and Exetel are probably doing the best job they can in shit circumstances.
I honestly have more issues with the Google Wifi than the connection to the outside world.

I've emailed them - last time I checked they had no idea.

Ah, shit buzz.
You might still become eligible, though. Think the rollout wil take some years.

The guy pulling cable through the street pits back in April said it would be around 4 months. Which I refused to believe.
Just plug it in, nerds!

Anyways, back onto the topic: no big boy rugby this weekend in these parts. Waiting for the Tests to start next week.
Tough away game against Merrylands this weekend. We nearly knocked off a top 4 side in both grades on Saturday but just little things. Second Grade are two good decisions away from being in finals contention at this point, with a failure to find touch on both occasions gifting possession back to the opposition after the bell for the winning score.

Actually NTA, apart from going to club rugby here in NZ this weekend, I also keeping an eye on club results in Brisbane, West/Qld Uni (I would probably be at that if I still lived there, good game and very close to Regatta pub), so keeps interest everywhere.

@NTA. Have been looking online for details of squads. But very little at all. Has anyone seen whether the island squads have drawn in anyone on new eligibility rules?

Sorry missed this - no idea about the squads from other nations, but the Aussies left a few guys at home to look at a few others for the Comm games. Some decent performances overall.
