So does this mean they'll finally have the $$'s to fix the [non-maintained] 
HFC networks, and/or just re-do the rollout as FTTP for everybody? :)

There are also whole areas where NBN techs can't access existing HFC
termination boxes. Because they were installed on the side of the building
on a second floor, and require you to get on the roof to access them (which
NBN OHS rules don't allow).

Even the techs coming out to deal with my intermittent dropout issues have
said "just wait a few years, it will all need to be re-run anyhow".
