Australia has many advantages - from the most beautiful nature and unique animals to pure ecology and high standard of living. On a background, all the flaws seem very insignificant, but they still have and light about them already. This article is entirely devoted to one of them - home Internet.
Common speed
Internet in Australia slow. We often communicate with our parents and friends from Russia and Ukraine on Skype. And if the quality of the audio video is usually at an acceptable level, then here is the transfer, for example, photographs during the conversation always causes surprise at the interlocutors - why is it so slow? A file with a size of 3 MB can be transmitted minutes 2-3.
The difference in speed is especially brightly felt in the first month after arrival. Then still fresh feelings from ultra-speed ukrainian Internetwhen the movie is excellent quality You could download from the network for 1-2 minutes. The contrast with Australian speed at first can plunge active Internet users into a deep depression.
Of course, such a quick Internet in Ukraine was not always. My first log in took place in 1998 using a telephone line and modem U.S. Robotics Courier 14.400 BPS. Several people were added to conventional ways to communicate. Old-timers of the Internet remember Fidonet - predecessor of modern thematic forums, IRC - instant messaging service, where it was possible to communicate with people from around the world. And it was unusually new and great!
Over time, providers developed, U.S. Robotics changed to a more advanced ZyXEL 33600 BPS, and after some time on GVC R21 56Kbps with the vector firmware - it was a velocity top! The file in the size of 1mb was shot by about 3-4 minutes. Already then I hung on the network for hours, which caused a completely understandable displeasure of my mom. The phone was constantly busy. Our telephone exchanges have not been able to work with DSL technology, had to spend another telephone line, especially for a modem.
And then there was a dedication, providers began to switch to satellites and fiber, the Internet began to accelerate and cheaper from year to year. When we left Ukraine to Australia in 2011, we had the Internet at home at a speed of 100 Mbit / s at the reception and the same on the transfer. Moreover, the limits on download simply did not exist, it was possible to pump all the Internet. It cost this pleasure of only 150 UAH per month ($ 15). And this is in Nikolaev, according to Ukrainian standards - an average provincial city.
Now, after a couple of years, while in the second largest megalopolis of Australia, we pay for the opportunity to go online $ 93 per month. This amount is included subscription fee For the phone (conversations are paid separately) and 200 gigabytes of Internet traffic. By the way, this whole monthly limit in Nikolaev I could download for 4.5 hours 🙂
The speed perfectly illustrates the SpeedTest service:
Speed \u200b\u200bwhen connecting to the server in Australia. Download Rate with American or European servers 1.5-2 times lower.
Note, according to SpeedTest, our network connection is faster than 71% of other Australian compounds. And this is the largest provider telecommunication services. Sad, isn't it? But over time you get used to. There are no alternatives.
More precisely, alternative options exist, but they are not available in all areas. For example, in the apartment where we lived before was the so-called Naked DSL - i.e. Internet via a telephone line without a subscription phone. In our monthly plan for $ 60, 100 gigabytes of traffic and the Internet telephone with a conventional Melbourne number and unlimited conversations throughout Australia were included. But the speed still left much to be desired.
A little encouraging the fact that the Internet in Australia is still under development. A couple of years ago, the government launched an ambitious and long-term project National Broadband Network, whose purpose can be expressed by the slogan " Fast Internet In every house. " The method is the provision of telecommunication services using a combination of fiber optic, wireless and satellite technologies. Simply put, a fiber optic channel will be held to most homes, and where they will not be able to reach - stick the antenna. The cost of the project is more than $ 37mld. By 2021, we promise to cover only 22% of the population.
This case develops quite slowly, you can monitor the installation on a special site - http://www.nbnco.com.au/.
Quality of compound
For 2 more than a year, we were with three providers and no complaints on the quality of the connection never happened. The Internet suddenly did not disappear and did not fall off. Although from familiar living in older areas, such as Bentleigh, I heard that they sometimes happen. But it happens most likely due to the old infrastructure, which providers are not too rushing to change. Everyone is waiting for NBN.
Tariffs
Tariffs on the Internet in Australia vary significantly from the provider to the provider. The price depends on the region, availability physical line, set of desired services, speed and volume of monthly traffic. The most popular plans are service kits (Bundles). In the long run, this allows you to save a rather good money if you compare with the payment of the same services separately.
The simplest bundle: Internet + phone. In Bundle, you can also connect television, mobile phone And even electricity with gas. Well, of course, you can vary them in terms of services.
For comparison, several proposals from different providers:
Connection
You can connect to the Internet application on the provider's website, or by phone or personally in their store / office. First you need to make sure that the Internet is available in your home / apartment and check which type of connection can provide the selected provider. To do this, you need to enter your address in the form on the provider's website and rely on luck.
If you live in the area already covered with NBN, then you are bigly lucky and the Internet you will be really fast, up to 100 Mbps. And if progress has not yet reached you, you will have to be content with ADSL1 or ADSL2. In the worst version, you may simply do not connect, because The area is exhausted by the limit of connections. This happens in rapidly developing areas.
If the ADSL is only available to the connections in your home, it means that you will have to pay for the lease of the telephone line, even if you don't need home phone. This automatically increases the cost of accessing online dollars for 30 per month.
Of the features it should be noted that from the time of registration of the application until the connection can pass up to 10 business days. Yes, yes, it is so much that takes the local technicians to click on the right buttons. Sometimes it may be necessary to leave for place and connection. additional equipment. But 2 weeks!?
As a rule, the contract with the provider is to a certain period - 1 or 2 years. Exit from the contract before its expiration can do in a penny. If you want a contract without a fixed period, the provider may set a one-time account when connected. For example, Telstra takes $ 120 for a non-fixed contract. At the same time, the exit from the fixed can cost times 2 more expensive.
It is also worth being very attentive to the services you order. It may happen that you will be connected to another package or send the equipment that you did not order. Money for it from your account, naturally, will be removed.
It happened to my connection to Telstra. As I said, this is a communication giant Australia. Most channels on the continent, physical and wireless belongs to this company. They are prohibitively proud of this fact and expose maximum prices for their services.
So, for lack of better option In our area, they had to connect to them. ADSL Modem phone-router In one bottle, we left from the past Iinet provider, so in the order, I only pointed to me the service package. The connection itself cost 59 dollars + 120 for a non-fixed contract. A few days later, the package comes - a modem, although it was not in the order. $ 72 for him also included in the account.
It turned out to return it back. At first they tried to give it a telestra employee when connected. Did not take, not supposed. Transfer from hand to hand in the nearest office Telstra is also impossible. It turned out, you need to communicate with the support service and ask them to pick up this modem. They wondered there serial number Modem and promised for 5 days to send a special package to which this modem will be supposed to put and send by mail to their specialized warehouse. Upon arrival, the modem will check and return money to the bill.
Passed a month. Modem still have our money, respectively, they have. Contact supported by the service again, I expressed everything that I thought about their client service and demanded to solve this issue immediately. The result exceeded my expectations - right during the conversation they returned money for the modem to the account and as compensation was resettled by the subscription for the current month. But after another 10 minutes expectations on the line, I learned that a failure was failed in their "mode of returning mode", they will not be able to send me a package and, in connection with this, I can leave this modem completely free of charge.
Thank you, Telstra! 🙂
Yes, and also - when concluding a contract with a provider, you can bargain. Not the fact that they will make a discount on the subscription, but at least can remove the cost of the connection itself. Trifle, but nice!
Topic O. telephone communication In Australia, it is also quite extensive, but this is already in another article.
