Here it is - FTTP is now dead under Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull and the Coalition Liberal and National Parties. Enjoy your slow, hot, power-hungry, vandalism prone ugly boxes Australia. This is what you get when you vote in conservative, nay backward-thinking politicians. ---------------------- Australian homes and businesses not on the schedule to get fibre to the premises (FttP) on the National Broadband Network (NBN) today will likely not get FttP under the new plan from NBN Co. Since the change of government in September 2013, NBN Co has moved from a 93 percent fibre-to-the-premises rollout to be agnostic in its technology choice for the NBN, opting for a multi-technology mix where the most cost-effective technology for each area to meet the governments minimum 25 megabits-per-second download speed guarantee. However, NBN Co appears to have abandoned plans to continue the fibre-to-the-premises rollout in a statement on Thursday, suggesting that it is unlikely any customers not currently in NBN Cos fibre-to-the-premises rollout plans would get FttP under the new rollout principles. Where the NBN fibre-to-the-premises network has been deployed or is in advanced stages of being built, will remain part of the FttP rollout, and where the NBN fixed-wireless or satellite networks are earmarked for deployment, will remain part of the fixed-wireless or satellite rollout, NBN Co said in a statement on Thursday.
