Just moved from Singapore, where like NZ fibre to the unit/house is standard, to the hinterland of Cairns where ADSL is the only option - till next week when the NBN arrives at the node.
Currently I'm getting 1-3 mbs, it can't be any slower than that.

Yesterday I went out motorbiking with my brother whose out from Brisbane. He was saying the same thing, plus his "unlimited Plan" is throttled back if they go over a certain limit.
For us that's a distant memory, thankfully

Coming back to Oz from Singapore is like stepping back 20 years. I guess it is not fair comparing the 2, SG is the size of Sydney

And you decided to move to Far North Queensland. In a few weeks you will be an hour and 50 years behind the rest of the East Coast.

Sadly I'm still in Singapore,
sure I get 1 GB fibre connection, but away from the internet would much prefer Aus (Qld) or even NZ.

I assume you are writing about your private home Connection....
I suggest, take the slow Connection as it is. In the meantime when not everybody can suck the max from the Internet... take a glass of wine, cook together and slow down at least at home  Start living again....
[Edit]
Just recognized, I will make a patent for this... "take our slow Internet Connection to come back to your real live"
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

The gas company is doing some maintenance on lines in the area, and had called in the utility location services Monday.
Yesterday morning, I walked out of my house to find 4 construction guys standing staring into a hole they had just dug in my yard. Curious as to why they where all standing there scratching their chin, I wandered over. Seems that the backhoe had found an underground telco line. Shredding it in the process. LOL
Good thing I have cable Internet (over head), and not DSL.
I know across the street there are fiber lines, I wonder if they did the same thing.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

I only get 5MBPS, but at least I'm only paying for 16, not 100.

Are you telling us that you went to the university to learn? I was under the impression that university is to collect positive experiences for the later, when you will have no time (family, work and other things)...

And beer. Lots of beer.
Don`t forget the beer, it`s important.

Nah - I went to college in Brum.
The beer was (and probably still is) dreadful.

Was it Nuget that inspired this questioning of your entire dev life?
Because they say nuget fixes everything (dll hell, etc...and it does) except when it doesn't. And when it doesn't then you are really stuck.
Also, I remember when software devs wrote software but now we just pull down nuget (or NPM ) packages, bind them together and build, build, build. It's all about the build now.
And it's boring. I guess the robots will come and take our jobs soon.
All they will do is pull packages and build, build, build.

Two short weeks ago:
- Update NuGet packages;
- Deploy new version of application using Squirrel[^];
- Application updates, and all is good;
Next day:
- Add a new feature to the application;
- Deploy new version;
- Notice that application doesn't update to the new version - notice a
MissingMethodException in the event log; - Notice that application now won't start after closing - the update created an empty folder for the new version before crashing, which prevents the launcher from starting the application;
- Discover that Squirrel is not compatible with latest
Mono.Cecil and SharpCompress NuGet packages, but hasn't declared that in the requirements; - Discover that this bug was first reported back in February[^], and still hasn't been fixed;
 - Roll-back
Mono.Cecil and SharpCompress packages, recompile, re-deploy; - Spend next couple of days explaining to customers that they need to manually install the latest version of the application, since the auto-update is borked;
Add to notes:
When updating NuGet packages, build and release at least two new versions of the application to the test site before rolling out to the live sites, to ensure that the updated updater actually updates.

I went to university for Fortran, Pascal and Turbo C... none of which I use today.
Should have focused on beer and the ladies.

I went to college (I'm American instead of British) to learn how to think rather than learning tools: guidelines for how to solve a problem when you have no clue how to start. I think my school did a good job: I can generally find a solution to ANY problem my work (or life) throws at me. I frequently don't find the optimum solution first, but I discover a solution.
I compare it to being a carpenter. The apprenticeship is not to learn how specific tools work; it is to learn what to do WITH the tools. A good college education is the same.
