[AusNOG] Corporate Fibre type plans on NBN

The other thing to understand is that at this stage NBN is a consumer grade service only with no real service levels for fault restoration of last mile services OR largely no guarantee of congestion at the OLT or POI.

You could be paying for a 200Mbit service and have a faulty NTD or broken fibre lead in and you could be looking at anywhere between 2 days to 45 days for service restoration or congestion at the GPON splitter with no recourse for your end user.

Paying those prices I'm sure they would be filthy.

The only downside to SkyMesh from a nogger perspective is that they
don't offer any "business" features such as BGP or routing of your own
network and so on. Though they do do ipv6! As you say, they may match
plans on a pricing basis, but not on a feature basis.

To be fair they are quite explicit about being a retail-only provider
so I'm not criticizing, they simply choose not to target the
"business" or prosumer market. More's the pity.
