The download and upload speeds are the same for SDSL, and the download speed is faster with ADSL, but the upload speeds are slower. My cable connection for data, for instance, is 20mbps down,.

1. Upload Speed Faster Than Download Plusnet
2. Why Is Upload Speed Faster Than Download

• Broadband & Telephony(50,405)
• TV & Entertainment(24,702)
• NBN(16,300)
• National Geographic Discussion(118)

• The DOCSIS 3.0 Cable modem you installed is able to get a great upload speed because there is not that much demand uploading compared to downloading. Our Comcast is advertised as 36 meg download and about 6 upload. I only see 36 meg download after 11pm to 6am. During the busy times we are lucky to see 4-6 meg download speed.
• In the past, I received download speeds upwards of 30Mbps, and the upload speed was above 10Mbps; but again, the download speed was always faster than the upload. Finally, I am always wireless.
• Why is my upload speed higher than download speed? Most people use more download than upload. Speed tests only measure unused speed thus when you speed test while.
• In speed test i found my download speed around 380 kbps and upload speed around 340 kbps. But while downloading a torrent file mostly I get a download speed of 40kb/s with a upload speed of arounf 5-20 kb/s.
• Jun 04, 2017  bad cable would explain why speed to the modem is showing faster than speed at the router. Would say to update drivers but since both wired and wireless are both doing it probably wouldnt help. Fine Download Speed and Upload Speed but unstable latency.

• Sometimes slow upload speeds are the fault of your Internet Service Provider. We recommend a high speed internet connection with high upload speeds. Often with Cable and DSL, the upload speed is significantly slower than the download speed. This will result in fast loading times for most websites and file downloads, but slow uploads.

I got th 100/40 NBN package connected today. Felt very slow from the get go so I tried a speed test, and to my shock my downloads were slower than my old Telstra ADSL2+! Calling in to Optus and all customer service could tell me was that 100% of the network capacity in my area was being used. I fail to see how this yields a download rate of 2Mbps as compared to the 100Mbps I'm paying for. I was told that this was a peak issue, and I don't see how that is any excuse. I work all day to come home and relax and use the service I'm paying for, and yet I can't, because apparently when I get home is peak hour!!
I've had a look at some other threads, and what is weird about my case is that others seem to have their uploads throttled back as well, wheareas I'm basically getting the full upload speed. Very disappointed right now.

Hey Miggy, If you can PM your account details and DOB for privacy we can look into this for you.

@Miggy you are not alone here. i have been facing the same issue for over a month. upload remains stable 24/7 download goes down to 4 -8 Mb during peak hours. Optus say this is attributed to congestion, just a standard excuse. Have a look at the below link

Wow. I feel so ripped off.. and I can't believe they're getting away with such a wide spread problem.
'How dare those plebs ask for full bandwidth during peak hours. We'll just keep charging every single one of our customers full price for 2% of the service.'

Thanks for that. I don't know how to feel now. I think it'd be best of taking this to the media so that more of the general population are aware. This is modern day thievery

Casey,
I've been in touch with a customer service representative on Facebook who confirmed that my CSA (Tullamarine) is overloaded, that your network technicians know about it, and that nothing is going to be done about it in the near future.

I grow more and more disgusted by the minute when I read some of these posts. Knowing hard working Australians are headed home after a long day at work to be slapped in the face with a service that isn't even remotely close to what you are charging them for.

Heya @Miggy - definitely understand how frustrating having slow Internet can be If our tech support team have advised there may be some peak time slows in your area at the moment but they don't have a time frame for an upgrade, this doesn't mean it's not happening, it just means it's not booked in for the next week or so. We are unable to confirm when future dated upgrades are scheduled as sometimes these time frames can change due to circumstances out side of our control. More than happy to have a look and confirm this with you though if you can PM me through your Internet username, full name and DOB.

Everyone should go to Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman and make an online complain.

Hey Reza_SYD, have our tech support team confirmed that you're impacted by peak time slows? Do your speeds improve during the day? You're within your rights to get a third-party opinion on the situation though we'd recommend speaking with our faults team first and our Retentions team on 1300555241 to discuss further options.

Hey @Nghi

have our tech support team confirmed that you're impacted by peak time slows?Yes, even a case manager has confirmed that the current allocated bandwidth in the area is fully consumed during the peak hour and there is no solution for near term.

Do your speeds improve during the day?The speed is not better than ~25-30Mbps during weekdays (off-peak) but terrible at weekend and the peak hours.

You're within your rights to get a third-party opinion on the situation though we'd recommend speaking with our faults team first and our Retentions team on 1300555241 to discuss further options. (I beleive that your network team should be fully aware of the congestion in the area and could have advised the higher depertment for putting a PO to purchase more bandwidth from NBN Co. It is not fair to charge the customer for the NBN service (nearly $100) which is worse than ADSL at peak hours.
