Hi Sfern,
Our house has reached the fixup stage. My blog does not reflect it as i haven't had the time to update it. But everything going well.

Hi Wateman, did you get connected to the broadband and how are the speeds? Re: EdenBrook Pakenham 120Nov 22, 2012 11:43 am Swedil Hi Wateman, did you get connected to the broadband and how are the speeds? Hi Swedil, We have internet through Aftel currently (not on a plan, just paying month to month) on a 50MBps plan. To be honest with you, the speeds have been perfectly fine! I checked them regularly, especially early on, and really couldn't complain. There have been the odd times when it has been a little slow, but honestly after coming from another house in Pakenham on standard ADSL internet, this internet has not been an issue at all. I am a reasonably heavy user too, with downloads and such (*Computer Nerd) and as much as I would like the 100MBps speeds if available, the speed I have received has been fine so far. I think most of the issue that article is referring to comes from the early days when Multinet were the only provider available, and the early residents could sign up for the 100MBps speeds, we moved in not long after Multinet were no longer allowed to sign new customers, so in the end we might have just missed out on all this mess! I honestly wouldn't worry about the problems mentioned in that article. I think CNT have learnt their lesson, they aren't offering speeds they can't provide now, and they will be watched closely by the ACCC and all the residents too. Just keep an eye on the speeds you get, and complain if they seem less that what you have paid for. |
