[AusNOG] HFC

[Mark Currie]

In  the case of Internode for NBN HFC = TPG Backhaul/Provisioning/Bucket/CVC so ok during non-peak, but crap in evening peak.

Most RSP's cannot do fixed IP or a business grade service on HFC, but it is in the NBN roadmap as being available *soon* and apparently will be a separate class of service. (Check the Public NBN roadmap document, was posted here a while back)

Cheers,
Mark Currie

Hi,

Researching that for myself now, as I am being converted shortly.

Surprisingly better providers like Internode can't provide a fixed IP yet Telstra and a handful of others can.

Using your own router might come at the expense of your voice service, at least in my case from what I can see.
