[AusNOG] Discussion point: Why aren't the NBNCo tails symmetric in peed?

Wed Apr 9 20:47:28 EST 2014

Actually, I just noticed that a symmetrical 10, 20, 40 and 100Mbps AVC on Fibre is actually listed as a planned TC3 service in the latest roadmap.  Currently, it's planned for H2-2015.

If TC3 AVC pricing doesn't change from the initial Dec 2011 pricing overview (http://www.nbnco.com.au/content/dam/nbnco/documents/product-and-pricing-overview-dec-11.pdf) - they will be as follows:

10Mbps - $48.00
20Mbps - $96.00
40Mbps - $192.00
100Mbps - $480.00
