You wont know yourself when NBN network is connected. Still waiting here, the fibre optics are in, outer Portland has been connected for a few months now (they only had satellite connection before)
It has been promised that town central will be connected here by the end of this year.
Currently I get around 2.2 Meg/second dload speed, (only because I am a hundred metres or so from Telstra exchange) mate at the other end of town is on the same deal as I am, and is lucky if he gets a quarter of my speed. He is around 5 Km from the exchange.
Nearest node to his house will be just 3 doors away.
Dodgy Malcolms Idea of NBN ... will raise tobacco tax to pay for it.
