May 2016 Update – Technology Choice Program – Gleneagles Estate
|- The committee has had progress in negotiations with NBN, benefits of which will be made available to residents who register with the project. They are fully supportive of the project, and have been of great assistance.
- A costing estimate tool for registered residents has been endorsed by NBN as giving a rough estimate of costs.
- A community meeting will be held post July 2 Election to give an update to residents. It is anticipated a representative from NBN will attend to explain the Technology Choice Program. Our Federally elected residents will be invited to attend.
Please engage your neighbours – the sharing of expenses across the community has already demonstrated a significant impact on estimates.
Fibre To The Premises (FTTP) will provide significant benefits to our community as a whole, but also have an direct impact on:
- The value of your home;
- The quality and reliability of your internet service; and
- Our capability to meet the rapidly growing demands by our internet.

Excellent work Steve and team.
Thanks for the feedback Bruce. It’s been a long road, but more to go yet however we will get there. In meantime, working on a possible interim option for the estate until then. Will publicize if it happens.
Hey Steve
Great news. Given the announcement of the election result, hopefully this will now progress.
In the interim – I have tried to get an estimate, but not had any luck with the tool… Have you had any luck generating an estimate either of the estate or for yourself? I assume it also depends on the number of people signing up?
Thanks.
Hi Mike,
can you have another go please? Its working for our other users. As more users come on, it dynamically calculates costs based on the NBN Technology Choice Policy methodology (http://www.gleneaglesestate.net/NBN/blog/2016/02/02/individual-premises-switch-summary-of-what-is-involved/) – which appears the fairest way of sharing costs in the community.
Cheers
