What concerns me more is What rural Australia will have instead of ADSL. Fiber-optic will only run to county towns that are on train lines. I'd hate to use wireless whenever I visit my parents that live 20 mins drive away from fibre-optic cables. D:

They just need to use the old fashion carrier pigeons to get the information to the cable. That or they might do what they say they will ... NBN FAQ/how much coverage

information about "wireless" NBN access
For those of you too lazy to click the link. Fixed wireless is not like normal wireless. The idea of fixed wireless is kind of like TV you have something to receive (and send) a signal on your house. Then from there everything is cabled like normal. So its only the outside of house that is "wired" differently to normal NBN connections. Its so close to the carrier pigeon idea only they worked out how to make the pigeons quicker.

Paroxysm dont feel too bad I live 5 min from the heart of Adelaide and I am not mentioned in the 3 year part of the roll out.
