Reply With QuoteThanks guys,
I have been checking out the Optus plan too this morning, this is unlimited, but it might be better anyway especially as I call the UK a lot and this is totally free with the optus plan, but there is a connection fee with Telstra.

In November 2014 we got a letter stating that we would be connected to the internet by April 2015. We then had the guys lay the fibre from the street to an outside wall circa Jan 2015. Then the Government did the FTTN pivot which had one of the trial deployments a few suburbs away. That resulted in all of the local contractors being moved to do the deployment there rather than finish the area that had already been cabled... Fast forward to April 2016 and they finally came back to do the inside box on my house.. Cabled it up.. connected it up.. but get this.. The block I live at borders two roads.. The road that was cabled up in 2015 (the front/main road) and the road that is a back street up the hill behind us... They re-cabled the house via the rear road. To make matters more interesting they have left both connections and both external boxes on the walls... YAY for the NBN contractors wasting tax payers money. I am now connected at 100Mbps and am _VERY_ happy having come off 4G/LTE. And before we moved into this area we had ADSL that was more like dialup... The latency improvements give me a smile every day when I work from home....

For some it is not really an upgrade, but for me I am going from an 8 gig plan so slow it was hard to use 5 gig to unlimited and watching movies online. I am still getting used to the fact I can actually watch youtube links.

FTTH or FTTN?

pretty much all of them...
the problem is the infrastructure and the available bandwidth.
lots of problems with nbn service guys never showing up or saying no one was home when they were, sorts of issues.
lots of lies being told about how long it takes till it's up and running... sometimes people are without phones etc for 14+ days..
fun fun fun
