Um, if fiber is that bad why is it used for major internet backbones between continents.
Then theres Telstras maga expensive Whoelsale rates. I got very luck with my ISP Internode. Telstra began making available ADSL2+ ports at my exchange available wholesale to other ISPs. Internode then began offering a ADSL2+ plan for those of us on Telstra ports, for $59/month/50gb up and down. They then had to withdraw it after finding out Telstras new wholesale rates are more expensive then first planned. Thus Internode no longer offer that plan, but those of us already on it can stay (whew!).
People just a few kms away cannot get ADSL of any kind, due to telstras slackness and the "i dont care" attitude to its customers.
The sooner the NBN rolls over telstra and consigns it to history the better. I will dance on its corporate grave!
By the way my ISP also said it will easily handle the extra bandwidth of the NBN, saying that ADSL2+ doesnt even stretch it to full capacity
Anyway thanks for posting that email, I dont think it came from telstra, but rather a Liberal party supporter. No surprise considering the Liberal Party still accepts donations from tobacco companies. Labor stopped that years ago!
