Last I heard, it's<br>
<br>
93% fibre,<br>
4% wireless,<br>
3% satellite.<br>
<br>
And if you live in a large apartment building, you will likely be on
VDSL under the current NBN plan.<br>
<br>
For the OP: national uniform pricing by the NBN is the same as doing
a massive subsidy in the bush anyway -- but they have backed away
from doing it across different technologies. So, if you are at
remote location and can get a fibre tail, you will get the same
price as any metro urban household. Once you are off the fibre
network, you'll get less bandwidth for the same money on wireless or
satellite, or NBN wants to charge more because some very new
unforeseen technology now allows you to get full NBN speed over a
non-fibre service. (A prime example, that wireless footprint could
get LTE...)<br>
<br>
Always keep in mind: the NBN will look like and act like what the
politicians perceive as the public need, (or a relatively good
resemblance thereof,) and will happily ignore the technical press,
the RSP's and the postings in the list. They have a mantra, "it's
all about the end user experience", and applying the old Roman
paradign: bread and circuses will keep them happy. (Note on the
"technical press": they are displaying an alarming lack of clue.
And much of the mainstream press is displaying an alarming bias.
That adds up to the NBN people and the pollies ignoring them.
Hooray.)<br>

Anyway, I call the next backflip will be when the cost of labour
blows out, the 97% Fibre foot print will be wound back and
supplemented with VDSL style technologies while deployment is
stretched out until labour pressures reduce.<br>

Ya, I agree... I'm starting to sense preparation for .nz
backflipping with this article...<br>
