Weird, my LAN is working at all but my wi-fi is, they even sent me a credit and then a new modem but still the same, can't use my personal laptop at home but can use my restricted work one.

Ours has been horrible for about 6 weeks. Actually its ever since they put an electronic power meter reader on. It's very annoying. Hopefully when we move out of the rental and back into the new build it'll work better there.

No more drop outs and the service that was running at 35/11 Mbps is now running at 54/19..

Sounds like you are on FTTN, changing a pair is generally only a stopgap measure. Treats the symptom not the cause, it is likely that you or perhaps your neighbours will experience more issues in the future. Still, good that you are back up to speed. Sad that the NBN turned into such a mishmash of technologies.

I had the same issue and after some diagnosis and rooting around the technician swapped pairs and said you’re fine now but your neighbour now has the issue…………

It had been fine when I first moved in and I started having trouble after the upgrading of an adjacent major road on the outskirts of the area, during which we had several losses of power when they were digging near the entrance to this semi-rural development.

That would make me suspicious that a cable got hit. Often other authorities/contractors nick the sheath on the cable, think it is ok to tape it up and not let Telstra (in my day) or NBN know. Down the track trouble comes with water ingress and insulation breakdown. I understand what you say about the provisioning for future expansion but the spare pair you were given will still be in the same cable as the original and at risk of future failure.
