John AllsoppAustralian folks love any advice–moving to a new place, NBN internet or 5G internet?
Stephen Collins@johnallsopp is the property already provisioned (I assume so)? FTTC or FTTP? If it's already there, I'd definitely say go wired.
@trib thanks! There appears to be a box there, will have to check vintage etc
@trib hmm Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) (had a good experience last place around 5 years ago with that so…)
@johnallsopp I’d have thought HFC would have been updated. Interesting. Still, should be okay. Maybe @jpm or @NewtonMark can comment with far greater expertise?
I love this, so I@trib @johnallsopp @NewtonMark I haven’t been subjected to HFC since 2017 when I moved to a place with FTTP.
Generally, it will come down to usage - will you use more data than a mobile connection will allow at the price point? Both connection types have issues with shared bandwidth, and anecdotally HFC connections have more outages than mobile.
Frank’s Ting@jpm @trib @johnallsopp @NewtonMark my HFC NBN has been mostly good for the past few years. Aussie BB.
@franksting @jpm @trib @NewtonMark I had aussie, but FTTP from memory a few years back-rock solid and great up/down (we live streamed our 2020 online conferences over it from Chippendale to the world! In hindsight braver than I realised!)
