So I have got a very good job offer to move to Australia, and it will quite a big positive change for me both financially and mentally.

Except when I get to researching the Internet connections. Now this is a problem that most people will not understand except perhaps my fellow datahoarding brothers and sisters. Is 1000/50 really the best speed I can get?

I guess I am so spoilt by having 1000/1000 to home here in Sweden that it’s creating a big issue in my mind. I upload quite a bit to cloud storage and seed quite a few ISOs as well, that upload speed is giving me slight anxiety! Just wanted to get some perspective from Australian datahoarders.

    Don’t get NBN it’s trash. Fellow data hoarder here. I have Optus 5g which routinely gets up to 400 down and 80-100 up. Also. Zero installation costs and if you move, unplug and replug and you’re good to go. Edit to add I am in inner city Melbourne

      Yes 5G might be good but not sure about latency, NAT, port forwarding and all. Haven’t ever used mobile networks for homelabbing.

        Latency hasn’t been an issue at all. CGNAT has been a problem but I use zerotierone to combat that and access my devices when I’m out and about. What port forwards do you anticipate needing?
