[AusNOG] NBN Co Layer 2 vs. Layer 3 Services

[Daniel Hood]

The only problem I see with having everything coming through one cable
is if this cable was damaged or experienced an outage. The user
couldn't watch TV or anything. Have they designed some form of
redundancy? Or do they expect to be getting techs out within 24 hours
sort of thing? Or whats the go?
