[AusNOG] FTTC

[Philip Loenneker]

Enterprise Ethernet is certainly a better product, but the costs aren't necessarily suitable for a residential customer, regardless of the possibility of a free build (which is not always the case).

$5100 https://whrl.pl/Rfme7I which is ridiculous although these posts from
2016 https://whrl.pl/ReLT5w and https://whrl.pl/ReLVZj claim why it's expected.

Really if you want fibre you may as well take advantage of the free builds on nbn enterprise ethernet at the moment than do a tech change.
