bugsyburrell Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Hi We are just wondering what the average broadband speed is outside of Perth CBD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Generally, "poor" would be the answer. No fibre (except in areas where the NBN is rolling out slowly) so you're down ADSL with the old "further you live from the exchange, the worse it is". And remember that houses are spread out much more than the UK. Coming from a fibre-connected house in a city with a 50meg+ connection to a suburb next to the CBD and getting one tenth of that was a bit of a shock for me. Have a read around over at whirpool.net.au Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not just NBN that provide fibre. NBN have not gone live anywhere in WA as of yet. Have a quick google of Telstra Velocity, and all shall be revealed. Even if you cant get FTTP Telstra provide ADSL2 under the top hat project which is also very widely available. In a nutshell, I would say the internet speeds are far superior to pretty much anywhere in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tony4052 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Be aware that in some areas the exchange is full and you can not get Internet. We live in Tapping on a big estate and can only get slow And very expensive mobile Internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
