It only occurred to me later that you may be talking about TransACT in central Victoria (where they do have HFC). My experience is in Canberra (where the "ACT" bit of the name comes from). In the ACT, I don't think that they did any HFC it was all fibre to supernodes and nodes and copper from the nodes (and now from supernodes) to the premises. All VDSL and now VDSL2. They also did some FTTP (which has been sold to nbn). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TransACT (which is now out of date). -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
