Internode customers get NBN uplink win

 

Huge boost in line with proposed national standards.

ISP Internode has brought uplink speeds on broadband services delivered over Tasmania's NBN network up to the minimum national standards proposed in the NBN Co business case last month.

The ISP said it would boost the uplink on its 25 Mbps service from 2 Mbps to 5 Mbps.

The big winners, however, were customers that had opted for higher-speed broadband plans.

Customers on the old 50/4 Mbps plans would now get uplink speeds of 20 Mbps – and those on the 100 Mbps plan would see their upload speeds go from 8 Mbps to a superfast 40 Mbps.

"The upgrades will commence from Saturday, January 8, and should be complete within two weeks," an Internode spokesman said.

"Internode will provide this upload speed increase at no extra cost, as an automatic upgrade for its NBN customers in Tasmania."

perhaps I am misreading this. Internode is gloating because they don't actually provide minimum standards. and they hope to get there soon? If they were already on mimimum and were moving to maximum then maybe its worth a positive word or two. but otherwise?

You might be misreading it. Until the NBN Co business plan and a briefing in December, no one was really sure what speed options NBN Co was going to offer. And to my mind there wasn't guidance that these were set minimums in the trial areas e.g. Tasmania.
