Reply With QuoteWhy don't you ask them how much to run fibre rather than copper from the node to the home? My work had it done. It is possible. Do it right first time.

Yep definitely the right thing to do. The more cat6 run the better - getting as many of your fixed devices (TVs, PCs, Prnters etc) off wifi and on to ethernet the better. Leave wifi for laptops, tablets and mobile phone etc. It will give a more reliable and better performing network over all.Originally Posted by weeds

Fibre, although the cable is cheaper than copper, requires extra equipment on the wall in a home to convert the fibre to copper.
For me, FTTN would be better because I wouldn't have to have the power supply and fibre router bolted on my wall like some piece of bad abstract art.

I would assume that most people like me have it all mounted behind/in the tv cabinet where you can't see it. They don't have to sit next to the Picasso.

SubscriberI'm waiting on these guys. Not in my area yet, but most likely will be before the NBN, which will be FTTN.

SubscriberI pay the same as their 12/5 plan for 1000 gig, but I'm on 100/30. Seems expensive to me.

SubscriberTry living in the Dandenongs. 35km from the CBD line of sight, and yet we are deemed "regional" by the ISPs, or, more likely, Telstra. We pay far more than that here, for, in my case, really shaky ADSL and 300Gb. NBN up here will be no better in the real world.

SubscriberShouldn't matter where you live when the NBN gets there - I'm further out than that from the CBD. When is it planned for rollout there? Or is it just the pre NBN ADSL that's expensive?

Subscriber18 months minimum. It's geographical. Up here we have trees, Gav. You'll see some at Wombat......
Seriously though, that is the fact of it. Put any ISP you like into, say, the Ferny Creek exchange for comparison.. Many still don't offer ADSL2+. I sure can't get naked DSL, although why I'd want that when I can't get mobile service half the time is beyond me. Now, it's probably fair to say that they can't see the point now the NBN is coming, but it was an issue B4 the NBN was mooted.
Up here, with the frequent brown outs, a fixed line is essential. NBN ain't going to give me that. Not sure the wireless mob is either.
