[AusNOG] Typical NBN Takeup speeds

[Nick Stallman]

Remember they get paid per install, not per hour or based on difficulty.

I got 100mbit unlimited (TPG - I know it's a dirty word around here) 
simply because I could and it was cheap.
Not based on any actual need. If price was more of a factor (like with 
other ISPs) then you can see why the slower speeds are popular.

My personal install wasn't too bad. Just a bunch of 3M sticky fibre 
around the edges of the garage.
They used existing Telstra conduit outside, however between the old 
Telstra gray box and the new NBN one there is about 3cm of exposed fibre.
