<div dir="ltr">Hi Locky,<div><br></div><div>Just to clarify, my connection is NOT an NBN connection. It's an ISP point-to-point fixed wireless.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for the link. It has a massive list of providers which is excellent. Unfortunately, it appears to only show NBN connections. My experience with NBN Co has not been great and I've avoided using or recommending them. To be specific, I've found myself being over promised by the RSP who then escalated my issues to NBN Co who then refused to deal with the issue since my connection was "within spec." - ie. faster than dial-up.</div><div><br></div><div>Happy to hear positive experiences from others, but I note that I'm using this in a business context and support and responsiveness to issues are key deciders. Since I work from home, I'm also needing to use it for domestic duties after hours, which often leaves me on a residential plan which appears to perform well during the day and suffers less degradation than a business plan after hours, since many business plans I've seen throttle down after hours - which is when my backups run as well as the typical household streaming duties.</div><div><br></div><div>As for the speeds, it appears that my ISP just unilaterally switched me to a lower tier and currently appears to want to get away with this. I see a conversation with the TIO in my future...</div><div><br></div><div>o</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, 2 May 2024 at 13:55, LH <<a href="mailto:lhuck@proton.me">lhuck@proton.me</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px">Hiya Onno<br><br>I dunno too much about fixed NBN wireless.
