" Robert Pettman, an IT technician living in the suburb of Midway Point down in Tasmania, was the lucky first customer to be connected to the Network. He summed up his first impression with the most logical response : "It's awesome"
Mr Pettman, who applied for a 50Mb/s plan at the start of June, has noticed peak speeds of 80Mb/s, but has noted that the speed range has hovered consistently around the 50Mb/s level he ordered.
While he is embracing the benefit of a super high speed connection with instantly loaded high resolution images and a seamless remote desktop-via-internet interaction, Mr Pettman is most looking forward to the benefit in the future.
"I'm really interested in what will happen with IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) services. I have a media centre that records free to air TV, so I'm quite excited to see what will happen in that space. Also, I'm planning to buy a home theatre system with an Internet connectivity setting, so I can watch YouTube movies on TV"
The fibre connection provided by the NBN will not only dramatically increase the speed of your connection, but should prove easier on the wallet with Internode's entry-level fibre price $10 less than its cheapest standalone ADSL broadband plans.
Internode is one of three retail service providers selected to deliver broadband services over the testbed fibre-optic network that NBN Tasmania is building.
------
I should point out that plans still aren't unlimited. 109.95$AUD for 200GB on 25/2 Mbps (Entry line (http://www.internode.on.net/residential/broadband/fibre_to_the_home/nbn_trial/)). I guess it's only time now? Still trying to find the $10 plan and see what the monthly quota is.
For all those who don't know, Internode and iiNet are probably the two only reasonable ISP's in Australia.
Good on Internode!!!! "
