The only advice on date I would be taking note of is from the actual NBN website. TPG and various other providers letter box drop for no particular reason, I can remember seeing their crap in my letter box nearly 2 years before NBN came here.
How do you know they are not offering anything above 60 MBS if it isn't connected ? The only service around that speed is fixed wireless which is 50Mbps or Satellite at 25Mbps. I presume neither would be what you are connecting to given you have old Telstra cable in your street. If its HFC, which is very possible given the Telstra cable in the street, speed is up to 100/40.I see they aren't even offering anything above 60 MBS. I had 100MBS and got well into the '90s with my cable connection 8 years ago. Still run in the street here but you are not allowed to connect to it now.
Have to use this Bullshit far slower NBN which costs more as well. So much for technological Progress and what's more, I wonder how much longer this NBN crap will prevent faster and better technologies being made available? It's already well out of date and holding back better, faster and far more reliable services.
And with any NBN connection, you would be amazed at how much more you get out of your connection with a bit of tweaking. I started a thread on FTTN when I got connected, and am now getting 90Mbps down despite being 350 meters from the node.
If you think its holding back faster and better technologies (love to know which ones, other than FTTB (thats Fibre To The Bathroom at a cost of 1,0000000,0000000,0000000,0000000 dollars to supply the entire country including every remote hut that someone lives in but demands the best) I doubt you are ever going to be happy. Current NBN prices are possibly higher than an old cable connection from 2011. Having said that, 12/25/50/100 have a lot of different price points so maybe not. Given you have said 200 gb would be plenty for your household, I cant really see you having a problem. I dont think anyone needs a sub 3.0 second super car with 200 milliliter fuel tank.
If we stuck to Labor's roll out, we would be up to about 5% connected at a cost of 450 Billion dollars. Regardless, 5G will in the future start being used by a lot more people when there is more coverage and price drops with bigger allowances.
