This morning I got my home connected to the NBN and have moved from Telstra Cable Broadband to Telstra NBN (HFC Hybrid - so it leverages off the old Foxtel cable connection point) - I paid the extra for "Super Fast Speed", which I believe is throttled to max. theoretical 100Mbps down and 40Mbps up.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's frickin' awesome!!!! NBN contractor came out on time(!) and was finished installing the NBN gear in the house within half-hour! Then took me ten minutes to connect up the self-install modem/router delivered from Telstra a few days earlier. And it's all done!! Working perfectly!!

With the previous cable broadband I was getting around 35Mbps download and around 1 Mbps upload.

Now, with NBN I'm getting 90+ Mbps download and 35+ Mbps upload. And a 29ms ping which is good enough (maybe slightly slower than the cable broadband but plenty good enough for gaming, etc.)

One very happy camper here! I am IMPRESSED - the technical outcome but also the coordination, timeliness and communication from the various Telstra and NBN parties involved!
