All general questions and discussion related to AGL Internet
I switched to AGL’s NBN home fast plan this week which claims 100/17 Mbps typical busy period speeds (7pm-11pm), the speed is normal during day time, but the night experience is really bad, only got 1-10Mbps download speed typically, it is way below standard. Please see the speed test results from different speed test sites Within Australia just now
You do understand that NBN supplies all NBN services in Australia.
Individual companies TPG, TELSTRA, VODAPHONE and OPTUS are the ONLY SUPPLIERS of PHONE services in AUSTRALIA.
Anyone can become a INTERNET Provider, but in doing so they need to supply IP ADDRESSES via DHCP or STATIC ADDRESSING, they also need to supply DNS SERVICES etc.
AGL just supplies a FRONT END to another supplier and as far as I know you are connected to their supplier when you ring AGL for internet issues, for phones they use the OPTUS network

Have you turned off broadcasting your network name, have you made your network secure by having secure password.
