just turned the tv on now and it's saying 'no internet connection' 
(wired) but it is connected. so I switched to wifi but I'm only getting 
10mbps on wifi :( I think I'll change to myrepublic. hopefully it's 
better than TPG. I never had any probs when I was on Telstra cable. this 
issue has only arisen since I got NBN

That’s because of the steaming turd of a modem that TPG supplys.

Paul Edwards had exactly the same problem, that steaming
turd of a modem that TPG supply couldn’t come even close
to delivering the 100/40 service he was paying for. So he
originally switched to a 12/1 service instead.

He has just recently switched to myrepublic and the modem
they supply for $1 does deliver the full 100/40 his is paying
even less than he was paying for the TPG 12/1 service.

> I think I'll change to myrepublic. hopefully it's better than TPG.

The modem certainly is.

BUT some are seeing the thruput sag down to 5MB in the peak time in the 
evening.

Yeah, it’s the steaming turd of a modem that TPG supplys.

ethernet

Nope, its vastly better than TPG on wifi except
for some during peak times. Paul doesn’t see
any slowdown at all so its vastly better for him.

TPG also sees congestion in peak times and has a
'support' operation that doesn’t have a fucking clue.

Expect weeks of delay getting your phone number
ported from TPG, they are notorious for that.

God knows where you are getting that shit from.

I never ever said that everyone who uses MR gets that, fuckwit.

And when you can't even manage to comprehend something
as simple as that, that’s the completely superfluous proof of
why its completely pointless listing what you should try with
the other problem.

if you even know. anyway, I have signed with MR, so hopefully/possibly 
their modem won't have the problem, because I never has the problem with 
bigpong. or maybe it's an NBN thing

No its not, the NBN doesn’t do anything different in that regard.

MR does tho on the standard plan, they use CGNAT, hardly anyone
else does. Unlikely to be relevant to the problem you are seeing tho.

Just as true of TPG because that is due to congestion.

And with TPG its absolutely certain that the modem they
supply is a steaming turd that can't do anything like the
100/40 you are getting with MR if you are FTTP and not
FTTN.

well I have high hopes for MR, so fingers crossed. I'll post what my 
connection speed is when it's up and running. the wifi speed will 
improve too I guess? they said I had to tell TPG to put my phone number 
into CDNO mode (whatever that means) or else I would lose it. the person 
I spoke to was rather ordinary as sales ppl go, and I strongly suspect

I don’t have any regrets and would still use them
if I knew at the time all the detail I now know.

I don’t even care about a slow down in
peak times since I've gone to bed by then.

Yes it will if you end up with better than a 25/5 result at the hardware 
level.

Its much more complicated than that. The simplest approach
is to continue to pay TPG for the phone service until the number
has been successfully ported to MR. You'll find that hardly anyone
actually knows what CDNO means, even Telstra Wholesale.

It’s a mode set using Telstra's LOLO system but I spent most of the
day trying to find someone in Telstra who even recognised the terms,
even at local supervisor level. One local supervisor did run the line that
they had new people and that that was the problem, and its certainly
true that almost all of that level of Telstra has been offshored now.

But even that local supervisor couldn’t work out which dept in Telstra
can use LOLO and do a CDNO. She connected me to NBN Billing in
Telstra and although they did recognise the terms, couldn’t actually
use LOLO and so couldn’t do a CDNO. He initially decided that the
best approach was to give me a whole new phone line on the spare
copper pair to my house, at no cost to me and was setting up a
personal visit by an NBN tech to do that until I pointed out how
inappropriate that was. And I'm not convinced that it would have
happened either because once an area goes RFS, Ready For Service,
with FTTN, you cant have any new POTS or adsl services provisioned.

He then decided that a number reservation in the physical exchange
which is done by a person in the exchange would be just as good,
and that got done on Thursday. It remains to be seen if MR can now
to a port request that will succeed.

And the other problem with Telstra is that if it doesn’t, there is no
way to get in contact with that person in Telstra again. I find it hard
to believe that if I ask for John in NBN Billing I will be able to get him
again. He did send me an SMS when the number reservation had been
done, but you can't even reply to that SMS, it’s a general SMS number
that Telstra uses for immense numbers of outgoing SMSs.

I must have been thru at least 10 different depts in Telstra that
day with just NBN billing even recognising the terms CDNO
and LOLO and even supervisors don’t appear to be able to put
those terms into their system and see what dept can do them.

Corse they do and he just fobbed you off on that.

That’s one real downside with MR, there still isnt any status page
where you can change that stuff yourself. They have only just got
billing working this year, so that’s not very surprising.

I'm a night owl, and I watch a lot of movies, so I do care, but

I hate that we have to deal with these foreign call centers with their 
lack of knowledge and inability to solve issues. and you cant understand 
what they saying half the time because of the accents. and when you ask 
them to repeat themselves they think you're stupid and don't understand 
what they're telling you, when it's really just the accent

yes. however telstra has told me that the copper line still works but 
only for 000

I was tempted to just get a new number but I have just finished 
informing all and sundry of the one TPG gave me I didn't want to have to 
do it all again

so you think they did record my CC details? it's a worry because anyone 
who listens to the recording has all the info they need for identity 
theft (name, address, DOB, etc.,) and especially since this stuff goes 
overseas these days and who knows where it ends up and could be hacked 
into. even without the CC info it's still a risk of ID theft with all 
the info you give them. btw, the Foxtel call centre is in Africa and 
they are by far the worst for all the reasons I've mentioned here and 
above about call centres

yes, I see that there is no login/account page. the website it slow 
loading too. i hope that's just a case of it being overload like belong 
experienced when they first started up, and not indicative of the speed 
of their service :)
