Mind you they mentioned that this service was up and running about 30 mins after the reporter contacted NBN for a comment.
FTTN connected to my area. Many many letters and brochures received in the mail. Telstra even sent a promo/information truck to the area to 'answer questions' recently. I am in no rush to transfer off ADSL as there is still near 12 months before disconnection. I work from home and rely on the connectivity.

The problems Doug has experienced are not uncommon from what I hear around the traps. I am surprised that it was possible to "raise an enquiry" with NBNCo... they normally don't deal with the public, and that is one of the fundamental problems. There is too much passing the buck leading to exactly the situation described. All the different players blame each other! But stick with it and try to make sure the cabling side of your installation is adequate if you want good speeds and minimal RFI.
If there is one thing I would recommend, it would be: Keep a fully charged mobile phone with you at all times... communicating with your provider about a dead NBN connection isn't possible without one!

it from my UPS, I will have service.
But, if I get FTTN ( a box on the street corner servicing 100 subs) with no power backup, we will
lose services even if the local telephone exchange building is OK.
