#2Whereas next door in Australia many people struggle to get 25mbps with their FTTN connections. NZ really got their role out right.

Unfortunately our government is very anti-technology and would like for all Australians to grow up to be coal miners instead of building a tech based economy.

I'm in an apartment with FTTP. I'm actually sitting right next to the ONT right now, it has 4x 1Gbit ethernet ports and the GPON is physically capable of delivering 2.4Gbit down, 1.2Gbit up.
However ordering anything above 100Mbit is so prohibitively expensive as to make it unavailable.

#5I just switched to gigabit. Not even my 200€ router (ubiquity ER-4) would be able to handle 10.
Though that's a nice problem to have

I have heard from my friends in AUS, and he said there were lots of interest from Old Cables, Satellite, and TV companies to not want people with faster Internet where OTT will become the norm.
Not sure if this is true.

10mbs on a good day. 5mbps is more common - inner city suburb.

I'm curious if anyone knows of a good option for symmetric 10Gbps at home. Only thing I can think of is a Mikrotik CRS305-1G-4S+IN 10Gb switch and a PC with a NIC with two 10Gb SFP+ ports to handle NAT, DHCP etc.

I’m on 100Mbit Chorus fibre, with the option to go to 1Gbit.
