NBN Co says it may not overbuild all FTTN

Unfortunately, if you were hoping that a government may come in and rescue you from FTTN, it appears that this is unlikely.

IT Wire reports that NBN has stated that “…NBN Co has indicated it might not pursue a complete overbuild of its fibre-to-the-node network in future, and may instead limit any deployment of fibre deeper into its network to areas of latent demand…”.  It goes on to say “…However, the strategy means heavy internet users hoping for better access technology without directly paying for it under NBN Co’s technology choice program could be waiting a while, particularly if their neighbours are not big internet users…”

Negotiations are still ongoing with NBN, and we appreciate your patience.  Note there are still apx 10 premises who still cannot get FTTN, and have to wait until the Kambah Exchange rollout is complete in October.

Thanks & Cheers
