Default Re: NBN Fibre to the Node (FTTN) - What does it mean to us?

I have FTTP.
How? Well I built in a new private estate that was allocated FTTP before any changes were made to the NBN and their archaic FTTN.

However even with FTTP the fastest possible connection speeds are 100mb down and 40mb up compared to ADSL2's 25mb (which is impossible to get anyway unless you live in the exchange)
Again though, FTTP is faultless, and it'll maintain those speeds as the cabling is infinitely superior to Telstra's disgusting infrastructure.

There is also the future in which FTTP will eventually have its speed increased even further. But no idea of when that will ever happen.

It'll be hard to stream Netflix with adsl2 in HD. So many variables to consider.
With Fibre, you have nothing to worry, other than the fact Netflix Australia has a terrible catalogue.
