Ok, I'll go for the first option...   In your second option, It appears only Allowed-list is useful because we can find the MAC address in advance, and block everything else. (I am avoiding BL and WL just to be politically correct :-) ... View more

Hi orbistat, you are probably correct but I didn't know that, as this bit of information is not provided in the TPG page for customers when we upgrade. TPG only mentions power cycling the line.   Anyway a remote TPG tech handled the issue already, and I've gone up to 4.7 Mbps now, YAY!     ... View more

Hi @ck16, I realise aswer is way too late for you. But since the question i don't believe was answered and others may also be wondering. Im on the NBN25 tier and have an upload limit of 5  Mbps.   So adding that to @BasilDV summary would give you: NBN12 speed tier - 1 Mbps Upload NBN25  speed tier - 5 Mbps Upload NBN50 speed tier - 20 Mbps Upload NBN100 speed tier - 40 Mbps Upload Below i've posted a screen shot from my router where i have maxed upload to close to the limit. ...

Hi @manishku0007   I am glad to know the latest progress of the provisioning issue and the installation of the new account. I am looking forward for the service to be active on the given date. To answer your question on returning the 2nd modem/router. I suggest to keep it for now until the installation date of the new account, this will serve as an alternate modem/router in the event that it requires alternate modem during the service activation.    Regards, ...

it may be slower in some cases because of the lower CVC included and the fact that you can't hammer it like ADSL. I've had zero problems maxing out an ADSL connection 24/7, but from what I've seen, if you do the same with a basic 12/1 nbn service, you might experience dropouts and such as the speed limit on the nbn tiers are artificial ones, not a technological limitation as such. In particular, if there's no bandwidth control in the router or your NTD/blackbox/NBNco modem doesn't limit your upload to your tier and you exceed it, you'll have problems. My best adsl downloads and uploads (peak, not necessarily sustained) are slightly better than the base NBN speed tier (I've seen 1.5-1.6MByte down and up to 150KByte upload on ADSL.) More info: Keep in mind that the wholesale for 12/1 charges an extra $4.10 over $22.50 for verage monthly peak CVC usages over the included 150kbps, so with the $8 for each extra 1mbps of CVC, having a NBN12/1 that you use a lot (more than as they expect with basic) will essentally mean you're costing your ISP about as much as if they were using the NBN25 tier (which coincidentally, was why many was actually using that to provide their 12/1 plans before NBNco reduced the 'excess' charges to this level). source: https://www.nbnco.com.au/corporate-information/media-centre/media-statements/nbn-confirms-new-wholesale-discount Also, 'fun' fact, the NBN50 tier and NBN25 tier are pretty much the same price wholesale. PS: Why NBNco ever decided 12/1 as being the base tier is beyond me, since good ADSL2+ (close to the node) will get more than that... and most plans at either speed cost more than or the same as ADSL anyway. ...
