I'm still wondering when I'll be able to order my telstra fiber 
connection at home
NBNco says they will be activating in January for my area in penrith, 
what website should i go to for telstras offering?.
I've looked and looked but I cant seem to find telstra rolling FTTP 
outside of the South Brisbane Exchange area.
