[AusNOG] NBN Commsday Presentation

[Damian Ivereigh]

Mark,

Actually it's not only about the price - it is also that the aggregator 
often doesn't provide the products that NBN provides (such as traffic 
classes other than 4), or that the aggregator's provisioning and fault 
resolution systems are often poor ("swivel chair provisioning").

As a customer of the aggregator you also have no control over the 
contention on the network (before it gets to you), they tend to allocate 
a fixed amount of bandwidth to each connection and that's it. No 
opportunity to increase it, no opportunity to prioritise traffic, offer 
low latency products etc.
