<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>From the local meetings I’ve seen in the past 6 month Turnbull has a pretty good idea how crap many local areas are, Roweville has areas lucky to get 56k speeds. His words were “if the copper in the ground is too bad we’ll run fibre to the house on a case by case basis”.<BR>
<BR>
Before we say the sky is falling, let’s see what happens as the NBN pre-Saturday wasn’t perfect.<BR>
<BR>
</SPAN></FONT><OL><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>If Telstra had put fibre in an area NBN wouldn’t touch the area, so zero choice.
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Contracts will have to be renegotiated – always interesting.
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Talk to your new/old local member you just never know, whinging on whingepool won’t change anything but maybe talking to your politician MIGHT make a difference. Arm him her with some facts then can understand to argue in Canberra.
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Telstra offered several years ago to build a fibre network but the Government turned them down, hence why they’ve raced the NBN to be first into some areas. And no I don’t trust the 800kg gorilla.<BR>

Now back to the BBQ and sport finals.<BR>

I live in Collingwood (only a couple of kilometers from the CBD) and the copper is woeful (plus I lose dial tone regularly, although I am more inclined to blame fat-fingering by techs or crap records).<BR>

Don't assume that this is a semi-rural area issue (and I really don't think Turnbull realises yet just how bad the copper network is).<BR>

Nevermind the internet access, fibre would have solved the primitive <BR>
land-line phone call quality problems that plague my area and it's <BR>
surrounds in WA.<BR>
