I have been lead to believe that the NBN will run the cable to the veneer of your home, not run cables through your roof, walls or what have you. You will need to pay for the final few meters, unless of course you still use the bits of Telstra copper formerly used as the landline. If they exist.<br /><br />Kind of runs against Conroy's claim that all copper must be banished to get maximum use out of the NBN.Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407662088162760129.post-89395155000678362002013-04-14T18:30:24.596+10:002013-04-14T18:30:24.596+10:00Don't waste your time on the lefties,as they o...Don't waste your time on the lefties,as they obviously have been sent out in force to hose down any criticism of their "dear leader", however, the contributor here could well be one of the overblown PM's staff unit or the Pm's overblown media unit( both ways I am correct)Whichever, it is too much to hope they might learn some logic from your answer, but one can hope I'm wrong!Jazzanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407662088162760129.post-43176519997390931322013-04-10T18:14:22.111+10:002013-04-10T18:14:22.111+10:00I did listen to the Coalition’s policy launch. Per...I did listen to the Coalition’s policy launch. Perhaps you failed to notice that Julia Gillard is promoting the silly notion that her government’s national broadband—if it should ever be completed—will be connected for free—conveniently neglecting the cost of over $4000 for every single Australian, whether or not they subscribe to the NBN.<br />I’m also led to believe that, if you pay $160,000 for a new Mercedes Benz, you get free wheels and a free engine. Free wheels! Yay!<br />This post, sadly, is not concerned with the evils of the wicked Opposition (as discerning readers might tell from the post’s title); it addresses how some sycophantic true believers will believe anything—from “broadband connections will be free” to “anthropogenic global warming will doom us all!”—if shrieked by our pertinaciously mendaciloquent PM and her fawning goons.Deadmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012725254441170657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407662088162760129.post-69151244255463000932013-04-10T18:07:36.772+10:002013-04-10T18:07:36.772+10:00While I agree that it is somewhat misleading - it ...While I agree that it is somewhat misleading - it sounds like it is going to be a free service, it is technically correct. If you want -real- high speed fibre -connection-, you will have to pay for it. Otherwise you get their sub-par fraudband. <br /><br />Their argument was that people that really need it can probably pay through the nose for it.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785008740134552723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407662088162760129.post-48473617397175912062013-04-10T17:00:42.871+10:002013-04-10T17:00:42.871+10:00Did you listen to the Coalition policy launch?
