Al,
I looked at all the Satellite providers,in the list from the NBN company,and they where nearly all the same except for changing the "Bonus" (what a load of s***) times.
Some companies didn't even have an Address only a Mobile phone number
So am stuck with a company I didn't want to be with in the first place.
I joined originally with one company, and they sold out to the company I am with now which irked me no end
Cheers

Al, one of my mates has a property in FNQ. Rather than get switched to a new satellite when NBN felt like doing it, they bit the bullet and paid to be upgraded as soon as a satellite with the right footprint was available so they would not get a service interruption.

For someone in the internet and publishing game I am a little surprised at this response Chris . The amount of info out there about the NBN and how it is already working and will work into the future is pretty large

It's pretty exciting really
