NBNco will have you by the short and    curlys.    NBNco will dictate what you can have, there will be no other option.   You won't be able to have adsl because the copper won't be available

I would also suggest that quiet a lot of people that think they are going to get fibre may be disappointed and in some cases may end up with a 12MB service of sat or maybe wireless.   Mostly in regional areas or city fringe areas.
