<div dir="ltr">In theory, 100Mbps/40Mbps service (and even 1Gbps/400Mbps) services are possible over the nbn HFC service. Data charges to cover 400GB a month shouldn't be an issue.<div><br></div><div>Of course, that's just last mile. There's a lot more to a service than the last mile. You will get "best efforts" SLA for support of a consumer-grade service, and likely won't get a static IP. Upgrading to business-grade will resolve some of the issues - but then, when the HFC cable itself is down (let's say a garbage truck cuts it, and resolution is 8 hours), what do you do for redundancy (and you're not thinking redundancy as a service consumer here, but rather as a service provider for your email)?</div><div><br></div><div>Personally, I don't think there's actually a valid reason to run a mail server in an office these days except under extreme edge-cases - hosted or cloud mail (or full collaboration, such as Exchange Online via O365) services are so cheap on a monthly basis that the real cost of procuring, building, running and maintaining a reliable service in an office is just insane these days.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 12 September 2017 at 11:31, Burt Mascareigne <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Burt@stormnetwork.com.au" target="_blank">Burt@stormnetwork.com.au</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
