    Hi mate,
    I have upgraded my network to NBN100/20, which can provide 100mbp/s downloading speed, and 20mbp/s uploading speed.
    https://www.tpg.com.au/nbn
    In australia, NBN100 is the fastest plan I can choose at the moment, will consider to upgrade to 100mbp/s when they are available.

    I have ordered a new dell G5 gaming machine to run xx node.

    10th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-10700F processor(8-Core, 16M Cache, 2.9GHz to 4.8GHz)
    NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3070 8GB GDDR6
    16GB, 2x8GB, DDR4, 2933Mhz
    1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive
