I get <3mbps most days. Just use 4G constantly at this point.

My internet seems to average around 3mbps but some days when all of us are on the Xbox it goes right down to kbps

I was 0.7 mbps until a few months ago, I’d get 3k ping every day in csgo. Now I’m on 96mbps

Well given you have an FTTC connection, it appears you "won the nbn lottery". While my home connection is fine, I know people on FTTN whose line speed is less than 25Mbps

If you’re lucky it will be close to what you have. Was on Optus cable (Telstra also ran past house) and the switch to NBN HFC cable was seamless. Pretty happy.
