[AusNOG] (Slightly OT) NBN FTTN - is this a record?

[Rob Thomas]

I did a stupidly basic amount of Googling and it turns out I was
running some odd firmware (I literally hadn't even CHECKED, thanks to
Michael C who encouraged me to engage my brain briefly) that was out
of date. With the 'NBN Recommended' firmware of VA_A_39t_B_35j_24m.bin
I get a bit higher:

Attainable Rate:        147209 kbits/s           52133 kbits/s

https://pastebin.freepbx.org/view/a16d0374  for the complete stats.

Interestingly enough, I also discovered that the VDSL Controller on
these Ciscos is actually an embedded linux box!
