  1. hi #FediFrens 👋 today I’m looking for your #recs for decent #AUSTRALIAN broadband providers for #FTTP plans…

    I don’t need high speeds – something like a 50/20 or 100/whatever is fine – but will need an “unlimited” (🙄) plan, data-wise

    who are y’all using? 👀

    pls #boost4reach, thx! 🙏

  6. Oh dear. As a #Brsk customer I've been migrated to #YouFibre, but now I'm getting marketing emails for the latter saying they'll buy me out of my current contract (with them) if I switch to them.

    Nice to know that they offer 200Mbit for the same price I'm currently paying for 150 though, that's probably worth looking into. Only a 12 month contract so I should be able to escape before #VirginMedia, the new owners of YouFibre, screw everything up.

    For those of you who have been following along on Mastodon for a while you may have noticed the saga of getting FTTP installed at home. What follows is the full story in detail, this is mainly a Cathartic out poring to help me get some closure.

  16. Finally getting around to upgrading my home server from Debian bookworm (12/oldstable) to trixie (13/stable).

    `apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs` went smoothly enough, just a few config files with local tweaks.

    Currently wishing I had FTTP for the `apt full-upgrade` downloads. I'm "languishing on only 80Mbps FTTC".

    I expect to have some issues to sort out once this bit is done, and I still need to re-activate/update my third-party repositories....

  20. Virgin's left hand doesn't know what Virgin's right hand is doing... and what it is doing is sticking sharp objects up Virgin's own bum.

    They had a rep at our door every other week to sell us their FTTP.

    We did decide it looked like it made sense for us in the end, and in our last place we were trouble free Virgin customers for over 6 years.

    Yesterday I got a call to tell me they would be at our place to do the install 13:00-18:00 this Saturday.

    Then today I got this text.

    I put the order in on December 17th... install now rescheduled to 17th of fucking March.

    (This is must be about the 4th, maybe 5th, reschedule.)

    Finally ,it seems we will have competition on pricing for #FTTP service in our area 😉🖖

  36. 5G Broadband Fail Over

    blog.hardill.me.uk/2025/11/28/

    Due to an unfortunate set of circumstances I have been left in limbo between FTTC and a FTTP install.

    My FTTP install failed due to a collapsed duct and my FTTC line was ceased a few days later (an oversight led to this not being cancelled). This was then compounded by being informed it would not be possible to reconstitute the FTTC line (which later turned out not to be the case, but not […]

  41. Full-fibre FTTP telegraph poles finally arriving in our village. Don’t know why they couldn’t just use the existing poles, and of course they’re ugly compared to underground ducting, but it’s high time the local Virgin Media monopoly was broken.
