Les, pray to high heavens Telstra contract out the whole NBN project and that it is managed by an experienced team from a private company whose KPIs are tied to the outcome. Otherwise it will be a shambles.
And really, with all that is going on in the world do we really need faster downloads? This whole NBN debate has been a red herring. It ranks about 15th on the list of essential services that are lacking in this country, I don't care what they say about opening up business to eCommerce etc etc. It's a massive waste of money and resources. Better to spend the money fitting rainwater tanks and plumbing gray water in metropolitan homes, rather than building coal burning desal plants and laying pipelines that draw water from the Murray Darling.
