The NBN’s huge fixed costs require that nearly every Australian household subscribe to the network in order for it to be financially viable. However, as more homes abandon the NBN in favour of wireless options, including 5G mobile and Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet system, the NBN’s fixed expenses are shared across a diminishing subscriber

    It was about 18 months for me from seeing the fiber in the street to being able to get connected.

    It will happen, just keep bugging your ISP for updates.

      I’m on HFC … It’s all I had before NBN, it’s all that’s available now.

      I’m in inner-eastern melbourne… I hope everyone that had a part in screwwing us all over steps on a Lego taking the bins out and gets garbage water in their mouth.

        Jack shit, they have no power over that, but you can be made aware of an available upgrade as soon as they are possible.

        I’m with ABB, and when FTTH upgrades were available in my street I had my appointment booked the day after they were given the green light by NBNCo. I was up and running on gigabit fiber (upgraded from FTTN VDSL) within 2 weeks total.
