Australia Internet Speed Falls Well Behind: NZ 9 v Aussie 3</h2>
<p style="margin:1em
0;">New Zealand median speed for ADSL is 9Mb/s but for
Australia it was just 3Mb/s in TrueNet's June results. </p>
<p style="margin:1em
0;">Copper services in NZ include VDSL over FTTN, so the
difference is much greater. A substantial 2% growth in fibre
probes occurred in June with 9 probes upgrading from DSL.</p>
<p style="margin:1em
0;">TrueNet now has 420 probes with 74 of those on UFB fibre
and 90 on VDSL, nearly all volunteer upgrades from ADSL. The
premium UFB fibre product continues to fall below the
advertised speed of 100Mb/s for most users.</p>

<p style="margin:1em
0;">"<em>Australian ISPs do not have the "luxury" of cabinets,
or VDSL, or FTTN, so speeds are A LOT slower on average than
NZ. To show the difference, Chart 7 compares the
distribution of tests on ADSL between NZ and Australia, as
well as VDSL in NZ. </em></p>
<p style="margin:1em
0;"><em>Results from our Australian test probes show speeds
predominantly in the 2-5Mb/s range with NZ test probes more
evenly distributed in the the 6-14 Mb/s range. </em>"</p>

<div>I know there has been a lot of focus on Netflix here, but
they aren't the only massive player. I also subscribe to
Amazon Prime / Amazon Instant Video (<a moz-do-not-send="true"

- which has a lot of awesome content on it, especially
originals which not many people might have heard of in
Australia (<a moz-do-not-send="true"

Amazon also just won the rights to the back catalogue of the
TV series 24 which will do well since the new series is being
made. Amazon also have their Amazon Fire TV media
player/console in the US (<a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Amazon Originals I like.:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Alpha House (Like Veep)</div>
<div>Betas (better than Silicon Valley)</div>
<div>The After</div>
<div>Bosch</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>are some I've enjoyed so far.... and they are creating a
lot more - a lot more.</div>
<div><br>
That said, Microsoft is creating content (<a

href="http://news.xbox.com/2014/04/ent-xbox-originals-unveil">http://news.xbox.com/2014/04/ent-xbox-originals-unveil</a>)
including a Halo TV show and movie. I think they will be a
big content player soon. Be interesting to see how that gets
to us.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yahoo have also announced two original TV series. (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am sure others will also be getting into the content
game... seems like a good time to be an actor or in
production... I wonder when some Australian original online
content will come out.</div>
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>That all said... was mainly to remind people that Netflix
is one, but Amazon could be here soon as well I guess - MMC?

<div>Most previous reports were based on rumours, but
this seems to indicate a bit more of a realness about
it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If anyone seems Netflix installing kit around the
place or officially hooking up to any IX's... should
it loud :)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The article states that without even being in
Australia and having active Geoblocking in place,
Netflix is still number 2 in on demand... so what will
happen to the other players when they officially
launch... I think this is a juggernaut that is going
to make a big explosion when it hits. Also expect to
see a range of new media player/devices hitting the
local market like the Roku 3.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looks like we're all going to need more backhaul
soon.... and expect ISPs to have 'Netflix' plans :)<br
