I have been experiencing slow internet speeds (< 1Mbps) and periodic drop-outs since mid-December 2018. It was about this time that NBN cables were installed in my area (inner metro Melbourne). Prior to this time, I experienced consistent speeds of around 6Mbps and no drop-outs.

Plus I've had to pay out of pocket costs for extra data for mobile devices. It's also having a negative impact on my business, which I run from home and which relies on me having reliable internet service and speed.   Not good enough TPG ... View more
