It's 12 months since I asked Canberrans to start sending me their speeds. I continue to be inundated with Canberrans sending me their speeds as they continue to express their frustration with their internet services and speeds. Annabel Crabb, please take note. Greg from Gilmore has a download speed of 3.3 megabits per second and an upload speed of 0.88 megabits per second. Therese, also from Gilmore, has a download speed of 1.49 megabits per second and an upload speed of 1.49 megabits per second. Lesley from Gordon has an upload speed of 2.22 megabits per second and a download speed of 2.22 megabits per second. Lesley said that, because she was the furthest away from the exchange, she had to put up with the slow speed.

Wendy from Fadden is trying to run a small business from home with a download speed of just 1.13 megabits per second and an upload speed of 0.39 megabits per second. Eleanor from Chifley has upload and download speeds of just 0.35 megabits per second. Finally, Marguerite from Curtin has some of the worst speeds I have ever seen. She has a download speed of just 0.13 megabits per second and an upload speed of 0.04 megabits per second. This is in the nation's capital in 2017. Marguerite from Curtin is putting up with an upload speed of 0.04 megabits per second. (Time expired)
