I've got a 100mbit Fibre connection. I live in an inner city suburb.

It is continually dropping out (I get an average about 1 hour a week of downtime), my upload speed tops out at 35mbit (using iiNet's own tools) and for a lot of things like YouTube, videos can be sketchy, even on the more popular ones.

Australian's really aren't missing out on much if this was supposed to be the standard.

If your fibre is dropping out... Something is really wrong.

You're telling me. When we first moved into this apartment building, NBNco hadn't even hooked the building up correctly. It took 5 weeks of constant calling to eventually get an engineer to actually fix it (and in the process, get the entire building connected, it wasn't just us having issues).
