The first confirmed price for a NBN connection has now been released....

Internode will charge $189.95 a month for the full 100Mbps service with a 1,000GB download quota.

Even the NBN cheaper but slower service is $59.95 pm for 12Mbps

I'll stick with ADSL2+... it's faster and cheaper...

as I don't understand a single word of that, I'll stick with leaving it up to my resident techy expert. But even to me that all seems to be another complete crock!

According to 80% of Brisbane Times, you seem to be right...

It's no surprise to see such high pricing and people are not going to want to pay for it.

I don't want it.

However the government will not allow such an expensive system to become a white elephant so will force it on the public.
I guess they will somehow try to stop copper wire internet and control wireless.

This is another major stuff up by the ALP.
The technology is advancing at much too quick a pace to commit billions of dollars on a system that may be superceded quite quickly in relative terms.
