Super Fast NBN is SUPER SLOW During Peak Times

[Tech2]

If Paying For a Service & Pay a Fee ,You know What Your are Getting ;....By law I never Get The speed I have paid for not once, Never got my .100/40 ever , Now we get so called Peak times ...Crap ..IT's  hit dial-up speed to the point or ,It just stops ,  Every month we should all credited back the speed they can't provide , Till They fix their Fault..We are becoming a joke to the Rest ..

Can you post your modem connection stats? That way we can see what your modem is seeing and may get a better idea of what is happening with your connection.

Technically you'll never hit 100/40 exactly but should be able to get in the mid 90s and 30s if your line is capable of it.

FTTP, Telsra Gateway mk2 modem , Cat6 network cables , ..Most times speed is 98.7mb peak time ,is the problem like everyone Else,,,

[Tech2]

98.7... peaks times it's crap,,

Sounds like congestion. But a description of crap doesn't really help. Posting a screenshot of the modem's connection stats and a speedtest result taken when the speeds drop off will let us tell you one way or another.

Hi Tech2, 

Sorry to see the speed issues and I can understand the frustration. For NBN technical support please give us a call on 1800 834 273 and we can check on this for you.

let us know how you go. 

[Tech2]

Took 2 days off work, No tech Turned up ,No calls just excesses .Why NBN ,Telstra just blame each other , No-one want's to fix peak period congestion ...Which should not exist in the first place....

[Tech2]

That phone number is just a off shore ,Telstrsa call centre, who can't do nothing ..

When you speak with Telstra, you're connected with the team that best suits your enquiry. 

There isn't any training or abilities that are decided based on geographical location, but rather the purpose of the team. If you're needing to speak with someone in our nbn support team, they will have the same training, abilities and access irrespective of location.

Interesting comment... doesn’t make me feel like I have make to right decision to connect

Hey @Tech2 if you connect you computer directly to the NTD in the same UNI port as your modem and run speed test during peak times do you still speed issue. If its congesting I'd expect your upload speed to be affected more.

[Tech2]

usually is uploads are slow as in afternoon ...

[343GuiltySpark]

If the speed is still affected when connected directly to the UNID port and is only affected during peak times it does look like it could be congestion. Do you have any reference numbers or fault numbers from speaking with Telstras NBN team? Additionally are any of your neighbors with Telstra also have slow speeds during peak times?

INT 1-1902838174643.   SR 1-1887137266884    Yes I'm not the only one

[343GuiltySpark]

How long have you had the connection for roughly? Has it always been slow at peak times?

[Tech2]

18 months , last 6 six months slower & slower ..

[343GuiltySpark]

Has Telstra NBN assurance team or your complaints case manager been able to shed any light on the cause? Apologized for the late reply, I've been on night shifts.

[Tech2]

Their is not  enough Bandwidth , In Area for peak times for all.. That NBN & Telstra , Advise & ,No Update when The Issue will be Fixed...  speed at 2.1mb  buffering & blue circles ..blip blip Audio..Not HAPPY ,,,

[Yastiandrie]

Are you running the tests via Ethernet?
Have you run the test from a PC directly connected to the NTD instead of connecting to the modem?

it would not be a CVC congestion issue for the entire duration
Its a direct fibre connection so line speeds due to distance and what not do not apply
When you say 'everyone else' who are you referring to?

[Tech2]

4pm to 6pm is the slowest time , where your watching blue circles waiting..
