Yeah at my previous home, we had VDSL, Fibre to the Building, on a non-NBN fibre network. Was amazing, excellent performance, actually good upload bandwidth, and cheap.

I can't wait until my HFC NBN service here goes the way of the dodo.

While I have 1000mbps down, the 50mbps upload is just miserable. And the cost is painful, $130 AUD a month.

Oh, that's expensive. I pay 40 EUR/month (~60 AUD) and I find it really high (planning to look for something cheaper). It is 1000/400 FFTH (the fiber terminates at my box).

For the price I pay I should be able to have a shared 10000/1000 (in reality it will probably be 2500/1000).

All of this for the swag, I am ,ot likely to use the bandwidth anytime soon (despite serving a few things from home)

I pay it, because for my use-cases it was the only way to get more than 100mbps (which was more like 75mbps at any regular time of day) download without giving up my 50mbps upload.

Now at least I can play my video games while my partner watches 4K shows on our TV.

Interestingly, moving from 100mbps to 1000mbps has given me a 5ms lower ping: 31ms to 24-25ms with a decrease in jitter of 5ms too, in Valorant -- this is to the exact same server from the physical same PC. I'm guessing even on the same damned cable, the 1000mbps customers get some kind of routing priority or something.
