Above all I want Australia to have a truly high quality national broadband structure and the coalitions late in the piece, vision-less, cobbled together against their will, antiquated version, based on poor insight and understanding of technology, will just not cut it. We can easily afford the current model so we should do it and do it properly! You should all stand up and support this amazing piece of infrastructure.
Vote 1 Labor! (even if only for the NBN!)

I agree Mike, however, wouldn't it be better to get fibre-to-the-node first and then it could be rolled out to houses later. After all, at some point the copper network will need to be replaced anyway. Getting to the node first would still give us increased speed anyway and then at some future point upgrade the network to increase speed to houses. I am on wireless anyway, and it is adequate for my current needs, and it would be years before I would see landline anyway, current NBN ot not.
But, I care not, either way, just as long as my service remains reliable. So far so good.
