I have a 100m long straight driveway, and due to issues, it took the workers about two and a half to three working days over a week long period to get the fibre-optic cable connected to the house.
Then a guy from the NBN came out and took pictures. Then a guy from Telstra connected us up.Then several months later, another guy came out and said he was there to install the fibre-optic cable ("Too late - it's already done").
Meanwhile, my neighbour has a 200m driveway, which parallels mine for a 100m, then does a 90 degree turn, then another 90 degree turn, then into a curve. It took the contractors nearly three weeks to finally get the fibre optic cable to his house, including cutting through concrete in his drive way, and repairing it.
It must have cost a fortune installing the fibre-optic cable in our area, assuming my and my neighbour's experience were fairly typical.
Glad it was free.
Regards,
Renato
