[AusNOG] TPG NBN congestion

[Kai]

Haha, "we won't fix the problem because the NBN is coming" is the same 
excuse I've been told for several years with another provider at one of 
the premises I maintain in Perth.

NBN website shows the "in progress" about 200m away over the main road 
but rollout isn't due in their location until at least NEXT December, so 
the account holder continues to incur excess mobile data charges because 
the ADSL throughput is terrible.

The account holders ISP isn't honouring the "S" in ISP but suitable, 
practical, affordable alternatives are hard to find.
I'm considering the current Optus Christmas special mobile data-only SIM 
for $52.50/month for 140gig/month on one year contract.
