Upgrade from ADSL2 to FTTN NBN (National Broadband Network) in Australia My Journey

January 18, 2018 by Simon

Here is a brief log of my current upgrade from ADSL2 Plus to NBN in Australia (TPG Internet).  This is not a paid endorsement and is posted as FYI.

ADSL2 Speed

Below is my current ADSL2 Plus Plan/Speed on TPG ADSL2.

Showing NBN speeds of 6.515 down and 0.4 up

On past occasions, I could get 12 megabits down but for the last 12 months, I have never synced faster than 10 megabits down.

ADSL2 Performance

Slow SFTP

Slow SFTP

Slow uploads in general (to servers in Sydney) 🙁

Upload

Downloading a 1.6GB Raspian Raspberry Pi image takes 4 hours.

File downloads on ADSL 2 are slow 🙁

Latest ADSL2 Speed (8:55pm, 18th Jan 2018).

Upload of a small 9,551,485 byte file (Latest WordPress) to www.fearby.com on ADSL 2 via SCP.

100% 9328KB  82.4KB/s   01:53

Benchmark time: 1:39 to 1:53 to upload 6.5mb, it tales about 10 seconds to verify the upload.

Note: The biggest problem is ADSL offers a static IP and I have whitelisted the scp port above, the NBN plan I am switching to is dynamic so I will have a hard time securing my remote servers.

Current ADSL2 Setup

1x TP-Link TD-W8961N 300 Mbps ADSL2 Router (9v 0.8A5mp Router, Firmware: Build 141023 Rel.24, 1483 Bridged IP LLC. VPI: 1, VCI: 35).

Current Wifi LAN Setup

Beacon Interval: 100ms, Transmit Power High, RTS/CTS Threshold: 2347, Fragmentation Threshold(bytes): 2346, Channel Bandwidth: 20/40Mhz, Channel 13 (only AP within 5 channels, WPA2-PSK, TKIP/AES, WDS: Off, Wireless B/G/N)

Existing Wifi Syncs at 57Mbps and range is good all across the residence.  No neighbour WiFi impacts our WiFi.  I can get WiFi signal at the mailbox 80m away with no troubles.
