My copper from the house to the street is faulty and needs replacing. I am wondering wheather it is worth waiting till the NBN comes here to complain (again), and then they will fit cable all the way to the house rather than replacing the copper wires.

Hi Doppler, it all depends on what the planners have finally decided for your area. The majority of new installs will now be FTTN/FTTB (fibre to the node/fibre to the building.
). If your area was already under construction when the Abbott government came into power, you might get lucky and it will continue as FTTH (fibre to the home). I hear Malcolm has no intention of returning to the original model. I suspect he and his communications minister will push even harder to cut costs and instruct the NBN to utilise any and all pre-existing infrastructure. The one saving grace is that your service has to meet minimum standards which means faulty wiring/cabling will be replaced.
