Really, do you think its worth THAT much over other priorities
Are you happy to pay that much?.

You sound surprised...the cost of NBN was all over the media and was the basis for the argument against it.
We will have super fast internet, maybe, but sub-standard hospitals and schools. Governments never get their priorities correct.

I really should respond to that one, if they offered me fibre for that much, I would stump up the cash and ask when I could expect to see the trencher in my drive. But it would not be that much and I am realistic enough to know that at 4KM form the nearest fibre I am totally uneconomic to service with fibre unless perhaps at some point there is a transit network installed across the frontage which might be able to be used to deliver it. We would cost a couple of hundred K to service with fibre.
