TPG, NBN Slow Speed Offer

The RSP may not know which Node will be your’s as NBNCo is quite closed lip about this. Best bet is to try to contact the NBNCo about what node may be yours but don’t expect an answer. The map that was provided in another topic but again linked here might be of some use but is not updated frequently…even they say to contact NBNCo for an official response.

I still stand by the “So RSPs are keen to get it done”. Choose to go basic speed eg 25/5 and upgrade in steps eg 50/20 next and see how each speed tier reflects in actual performance before moving to a higher tier. Most RSPs will happily accommodate these steps. It won’t take too long before you know which tier is appropriate for your location.

Part of the reason for RSPs being reluctant to give a figure for speed is they got caned by the ACCC over selling speed packages that clients could not ever get, partly this reflects what tech you get connected on eg FTTP, FTTN, FTTC, Fixed Wireless and if anything copper or “wireless”, the state of the copper between your house and the node or DPu, line of sight issues and similar. Only after you are connected can they really determine line or site conditions more accurately.
