FTTN/B max speed is 100/40 at least in its current iteration at least 
that's the highest speed I've seen. I also haven't looked at the nbnco 
doc's for that product so I could be very wrong lol. There is also talk 
about the nodes already being congested though I don't know how true 
that is vs the POI's being the source of the trouble.

FTTN is delivered to a RSP supplied modem, not to an NBN owned NTD. So 
you are going to get all the lovely circular, "its your modem" "its your 
line" "restart your computer" crap going on when things go wrong yay.
