And once the NBN comes into an apartment’s area, the OC will have little choice but to connected it because all the existing phone and internet services will be switched off 18 months later.
The rate a which mobile phones / broardband is increaseing it might be the time to dump your phone line entirely when this happens. I agree in new building it can be installed efficiently cost wise but for older building it could cost a fortune to be benefit of very few. I do have a phone line (at the mo) but I use mobile broardband for internet access and it is more than adequate for my needs.
I wonder how many people actually need this super fast home internet. The gov seems very reluctant to inform us of how many have actually taken it up after it has been installed in their area (I suspect very few).
