The NBN Rollout map shows for around Clayton Bay itself that the "NBN is coming",
but not started yet.
However, 27km away in Victor Harbour construction of the fibre network has already
commenced and 9.5km away, fibre construction will begin in a year.
I can see that there is a road called the Strathhalbyn-Goolwa Rd which is part of the
area that is scheduled to start construction in a year and that that road which passes
through nearby Currency Creek and around the bay to Clayton Bay might be
a natural path for it to take.
To put your situation in some perspective, I had no idea where Clayton Bay
was until I Googled it. I am sure it is a really nice corner of Australia,
but I had never heard of it.
I live 22km from the Sydney Harbour Bridge in
a city with a population of 4.6 million people and I have identical rollout status
as you do, as do millions of others on the upper north shore of Sydney, but like
you, there are rollouts taking place not too far away across vast sways of Sydney.
I can walk to the top of my street and around the block and see the skyline
of Sydney, including clearly making out landmarks such as Sydney Tower.
I can see the fireworks over Sydney Harbour from the top of the street at New Year's.
But despite us being only 35 minutes drive to the CBD of one of the largest cities
in the southern hemisphere, we don't even have reliable NextG coverage in our street.
Like you, we are equally anxious to get the NBN because we have suffered for many
years with a deteriorating copper network in our area that will often see our phones and
internet connection offline for several weeks a year.
So take heart, the good folk of Clayton Bay share a common interest in
getting connected as we do here in our corner of Sydney.
