Peoples lived experience, is it any good, likes and dislikes.
NBN FW much to not like about it.
Installation is very prescriptive and success is very dependant on the installer.
Speeds are usually good initially until your tower is congested. When that happens its very bad
If your signal is worse than -99dbm they
WILL flick you over to Satellite.
DO NOT ACCEPT A POOR SIGNAL, DO NOT SIGN TO SAY YOU AGREE. ASK FOR ANOTHER MEASUREMENT FROM ANOTHER TECH. DO NOT SIGN IF YOUR SIGNAL IS BAD.
The contention on the FW towers is very often worse than FTTN
NBN construction documents suggest that each tower can have up to 330 end user connections. Your tower may actually microwave backhaul to several others towers before the signal hits a tower with fibre backhaul. Up to 8 towers may actually microwave backhaul to the fibre tower. No amount of CVC provisioning can fix this. Many NBN FW customers have found that when the tower of fully subscribed the speeds can be less than 1Mbps.

You can search for your tower here:
ACMA Site Location Map
To use this site - search for your address then find nearby NBNCo towers which may be just NBNCo or colocated with other towers. Select the elevation profile in the popup of the NBNCo tower and it will give you the line of sight back to your place. Make sure you select your property with this icon
or type in the address first
Hopefully your line of sight is not blocked by hills.
If you look upthread in this thread you will see a couple of the elevation profiles for my place.
Click on the NBNCo tower then click on the assignments you will see this

the backhaul links may be 10,11,18,19 Ghz. A bandwidth of 27.5 Mhz (emission 27M5) is approximately 150Mbps. So this means all the NBN endusers may be backhauling to another tower at 150Mbps. So much for fast broadband.
