Is this typical?

Nothing like that up here, as the NBN is 18 months away. The thing I can't spot is the circular, upright fibro pillar.

John, they are metal and could be more than 1000M away although supposedly meant to be up to only 500M way.

Read about them here:
The Humble Pillar in the Australian Telecoms Network - Warren and Brown Telecommunications

We're up to 11.1 mbps - who hoo!

Its a funny exercise Sean,, the old pillars service 200 homes, supposedly within 500m,,
but blocks of units and single roads make this an arbitrary number [smilebigeye]
