I use a landline within 2 km from a phone exchange, no need to worry about NBN
that I do not have one in my street yet. Don't know much about NBN from Malcolm
Turnbull, Minister for Communications in the Abbott government. This is for
your information. peter
Wondering where the NBN will arrive next?

The map showing where the NBN will arrive next has changed. Click here to find
out more.
NBN Co's interactive map
http://www.nbnco.com.au/when-do-i-get-it/rollout-map.html has been available
for some time so people can see whether their premises are or soon will be
served by the NBN, and whether they will get a fixed line or fixed wireless
connection.
A new update to the map identifies areas where 'build preparation' work is
taking place ahead of the rollout of fixed connections. These activities
include making Telstra's pits and pipes ready to receive NBN cables.
Green areas on the map indicate where build preparation is underway, while
brown denotes that construction contracts have been issued, and purple that
service is available.
So residents of Taree NSW can, for example, see that the build has commenced in
areas to the southwest and northeast, preparatory work is under way to the
northwest, but there is no indication of any activity in the town centre.
And that's the downside of the change - the map previously showed areas where
work was scheduled to commence within the next three years.
The map now provides no information about the rollout until some sort of work
begins on the ground, so you have less time to think about what you might do
with an NBN connection. It also makes life more difficult for people thinking
of moving house during the next few years.
