For reference my Telstra cable gets about 30-35 down and 1 up Leeroy has a special situation where he has reasons for the shitty-er cable speed I'm sure Edit: Basically what Simon said Well I have one of those Motorola Surfboard modems they supplied us with 6+ years ago, but they refuse to even chip in money to upgrade it now even though the service is not what we're paying for. They want $200+ for the modem plus an installation fee to upgrade. This was after two phone calls and a bit of a raised voice.

emts Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 When I got the speed pack they sent me a new modem to replace the one above as it only maxed out around 20-30?? new one is a netcomm POS as well.

Rekin Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 ISP's can't just be gifting out modems with no cause. Either sign up to a new contract (which may only be applicable to new customers) or there is a connection/speed fault caused by the modem.

Well they can because phone companies give rewards based on staying with the company for a period of time, usually by waving different costs or adding in extra value to their existing plans.

If there isn't a valid reason, be it a new contract deal or a fault replacement, the operator on the phone can't do much.

UNR33L Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) meh any of them can do that, and can port phone numbers across if you need it. just call optus and tell them your speed is shit and not 30mbps and to fix your shit Edited October 11, 2016 by UNR33L Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458531-vic-wasteland-thread-150/page/554/#findComment-7782907 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekin Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 So they stand to lose 3 times as much shit if you leave........... No one is going to cancel their internet contract because they want a new modem. A new modem serves no purpose if there is no fault with the old. Hence why they will only replace if there is a fault.

If the speed is shit because of your modem, they will provide a new one.

Rekin Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Isn't that exactly wot I'm getting at tho lad.. Unfortunately the isp can do tests on their end to see if it's a congestion/network fault or a modem fault. That's where the arguments happen Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458531-vic-wasteland-thread-150/page/554/#findComment-7782918 Share on other sites More sharing options...
