Distance from the node: HOW RELEVANT will it be?

You cant upgrade if you are too far from the node.

That's an interesting point: so, when do people find out their distance from the node?

Will the interweb chat sites eventually piece together who is where from what node and house prices will eventually come to reflect that because everyone is on top of the scam perpetrated by tony abbott for short term political gain?

Clear as mud.

There are four tiers (speeds).

12 - slow, best for just phone and minimal internet use.

25 - good enough for most people using internet and watching Netflix.

50 - good for larger families, with lots of TVs and internet devices being used at once.

100 - very fast, good for small businesses.

I've been using '25' for about three years, and have no problems.

Everyone I know uses '25', and it seems to be adequate.

However, as files get larger, and movies get even better in picture and sound quality, I'm sure we'll all need to upgrade to '50'.

It's just a matter of ringing your provider, and then paying an extra $10 (rough guess) a month.

Funny that this topic comes up today, last weekend I was away with some people who had just sold their home and they tell me that having a fibre to the home service does in fact add value to the home.

The people that they sold to brought their three kids for a look and they went mental when they seen the fibre connection.

Didn't find anything at that link that either confirms or denies that. Just some poor explanations about how it should work.

Aussie the best advice I can give is find your area on Whirlpool Forums and ask questions.
Watch the ABC 4Corners show this coming Monday which is titled ' Whats wrong with the NBN'
