Slow Broadband speed
Have had slow broadband speed & did a check earlier day with the following results

Re: Slow Broadband speed
Nbn speed depends On the type your area gets mostly. FTTN is similar to ADSL as it is speed limited by distance to the node, but typically speeds would be no less then 12Mbps.
Telstra home wireless gives you full speed access to the 4G network which means depending on the area you could get outstanding speeds, but the trade off is that it isn’t cheap.

I use and recommend the Netgear Advanced 111 modem in the Netgear ethernet cradle with its own strong WiFi.

Re: Slow Broadband speed
Thanks DrQ,
Whilst the range probably will not be an issue, any suggestions on a booster.
Thanks Again

Re: Slow Broadband speed
with mobile reception, boosters and the like are very limited and regulated in Australia, so pretty much your only legal option is to get it through the telco. most cheaper boosters are either ineffective or can completely impact the network in the entire area.
