Hi @KarlB Speedtest at 8.25am - about same time as yesterday but on NBN50. Downloads 25Mbps and uploads about 10Mbps. So the old POTS copper cables to my house are capable of 25 to 30 Mbps which means the NBN25 speeds were actually about 10 to 15Mbps - which is the range I consistently got on every speed test. Anyway consider this solved for now and thanks for bearing with my nagging for so long.

Hi @KarlB I upgraded to NBN50 today - mostly because it is about $20 cheaper per month than my current plan. I am expecting at least 20 to 25MBps download speeds after upgrade becomes effective. If there is no improvement than definitely problem is locally or on the 25+ years old copper lines from the node to my house. cheers vin

Hi @KarlB Attached test using TPG servers in Sydney - still bad download speeds @11Mbps at 8.30 in the morning when it should be quite good. I have NBN25 - the copper cables are capable of 25 to 30 Mbps but I am not even getting half the bandwidth. This is why I would like to upgrade to NBN50 as I am suspect the actual bandwidth is much lower than whats advertised. regards vin

This is result using LAN cable and no VPN. Not sure why upload bandwidth almost twice the advertised speed of 5 but downloads less than half advertised speed. I am only 1.5k from the node. Understand the max bandwidth possible in FTN setups 25 to 30 Mbps - but I would still want to upgrade to NBN50 as it is cheaper than current plan NBN25. Hopefully that can fix the speed issues if I can get anything 20Mbps or more.

I ran test this morning at 10am - not any better - Downloads 9Mbps and uploads 12Mbps. I consistenctly get faster upload speeds - I suppose it will be better if downloads faster. For instance yesterday evening I couldn't even watch a program on youtube on my smart TV and the only other device on the WLAN/WAn was a laptop being used for office work. So not sure why I have bigger bandwidth for uploads - it doesn't make any sense. At about $100 per month, this is not good service when you can't even do simple things like watching youtube!!

Its better now - downloads about 8 Mbps and Upload about 9 Mbps with only one machine on internet at about 7pm. It's workable for now.

TPG Speeds TPG SpeedsI got my internet back but still big issues with line speed.These are line speeds from around 4pm today - fairly typical of most afternoons when everything (VPN, VDI access etc) just grinds to a halt.

I am glad I did not tick this solved, as right now I am getting the same error 8180 again from my router so its basically back to same situation. So both internet and phone line is dead again. I had a call from some lady at TPG yesterday regarding my phone not working and she said that she had to "refresh the settings" and after that my phone line became active again. Appears TPG has not got to the root of the problem.

Yes Karl - the cable from the phone handset is connecetd to the phone1 port on the modem. vin

My VOIP failed on 17th May in middle of call. 30 minutes later broadband stopped working. 2 days later TPG techs came - restored internet Interestingly the TPG guys specifically told us not to use the wall phone socket labelled NBN. I undertand the NBN line is not active as the TPG guys don't want to take risk of running another line from the telstra pit to the house and hooking up with the NBN labelled ports in the house. However thats not the problem - I am still not able to make calls. Get busy dial tone and Error UCA0188. Anyone know what that is. I wonder if there is any point paying extra for having VOIP.
