Apparently the co-contribution installation cost will not exceed $5000, but keep in mind that it's only available in areas already serviced by FttP, FttN/B, FttC and HFC. So unfortunately it isn't currently an option for those wanting to get away from the pains of Fixed Wireless.
NBN give discounts to the RSP for 3 year terms, which RSPs should pass on to the end customer. But the zone of the premises also has a significant impact on the per month price. We have to run a quote through the NBN EE portal to confirm pricing every time due to the variables that impact the final cost. I can't give pricing information on here, but if anyone wants an indication of price for a specific address, send me the address, speed and contract term privately and I'll get something to you. My apologies if this is a grey area in terms of list charter, but I suspect this will be a case of people asking out of curiosity rather than with an intention to purchase a product, and I don't think anyone is likely to publish much information publicly due to the complexity.

Good to know there is another option there, even if it's unlikely most people can/will utilise it.

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. -- # TRS-80 trs80(a)ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au #/ "Otherwise Bub here will do \ # UCC Wheel Member http://trs80.ucc.asn.au/ #| what squirrels do best | [ "There's nobody getting rich writing ]| -- Collect and hide your | [ software that I know of" -- Bill Gates, 1980 ]\ nuts." -- Acid Reflux #231 / _______________________________________________ AusNOG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ausnog.net/mailman/listinfo/ausnog
