NBN switched half of my town to fixed wireless at a higher cost than FTTN just to get 'bums on seats' to make coalition pollies look good/less bad.

Let me put that another way.

I got a worse service, at a higher cost to the government, AND a higher cost to me, just so it could happen 6 months earlier.

I would have been happy to wait, and now FTTP is off the table for me.

Fuck 'em.

I moved to an area in 2017 that was slated for Fixed Wireless by mid-2020. At the time, 'interim NBN satellite service' was available.

The rollout date changed to 2019 - then 2018. Then we were deleted off the rollout plan. No explanation, nothing. If you sign up for NBN in our area, you get offered SkyMuster (which, from personal experience using it for two years, is trash).
