I know that.
Internode would be happy to supply your services for ever.
I know that too, and intend to keep using Internode when the BFH subsidy
ends. However, when that happens, I will downgrade our plan with
Internode to the slowest cheapest one available, because the relatively
fast (for Australia) and expensive one that BFH pays for is much more
than we actually need.
Oliver,
Absolutely correct.
There was never any realistic scopng about what GPs would need or use
when B4H was set-up. Lots of mumbo-jumbo about telemedicine and high-end
stuff no one is doing, the need for business grade connections and
carrier-level firewalls, with subsequent admissions that you should
always rely on your own security anyway.
A few GPs have made use of the static IP address for VPNs and remote
access, but the majority would be served by the 512/128 $40 a month plan
I've recommended to a number of practices, and that I use myself.
