It was the hysteria from 2010-2013 that got us in this mess, go and read the start of the thread and you'll see the storm in the tea cup you refer to.
Like I've said, people need to get over the hysteria, it usually ends up being storm in a tea cup.

I'm not sure but it's nice of you to recognise his efforts to calm the hysteria we were seeing from other members of the forum.Yes, I remember it well, good old NBNMyths I wonder what happened to him?

Last week, San Francisco became the first major city in America to pledge to connect all of its homes and businesses to a fiber optic network.
I urge you to read that sentence again. It’s a ray of light. In an era of short-term, deeply partisan do-nothing-ism, the city's straightforward, deeply practical determination shines. Americans, it turns out, are capable of great things—even if only at the city level these days....................................
NBN Wholesale Market Indicators to Sept 30 has been published by the ACCC.When you look ad data as to the level of service being ordered, ~80% with an FTTP connection are ordering either a 12 or 25Mbps service.
https://www.accc.gov.au/system/files/NBN Wholesale Market Indicators Report 30 June 2017.pdf
When compared to the table at the 7-minute mark of the first of the two video links above, this hasn't materially changed over the past two years.
What this illustrates is that the vast majority of those connecting don't wish to pay for the difference between an FTTN and FTTP service. Of interest with the rest is that ~4% are ordering 50Mbps and ~16% 100Mbps. It would be interesting to know more about the demographics of the 16% to understand where the best economic case lies for FTTP (or other techs that have the potential to offer 100Mbps+).
ACCC Chair Rod Sims latched onto the report showing the average National Broadband Network (NBN) CVC bought by retailers per users increasing from 1.09Mbps to 1.11Mbps.
Doesn't look like there's much hope for consumers. A refund isn't a solution - what's the alternative?

Legacy copper services such as ADSL will be switched off after an 18-month migration window. This is covered in a link you posted back in August.There is talk that the NBN will start a retro rollout of light pipes to the curb where premises neighbourhoods are unable to get fast speeds because the copper can't handle the higher frequencies of the VDSL network versus adsl. Time frame = who knows

I didn't bother connecting to the NBN when the ADSL was turned off a few months ago.
Simply tethering my existing mobile phone to the PC is providing a faster service than I ever had with ADSL, faster than others seem to be getting with the NBN too, and it has added just $30 a month to the cost of the mobile data. Make that $10 once I change the plan shortly.

But that isn't meant to happen, you're supposed to be gagging for 100mb/s, like everyone else.Apparently. lol
It is the biggest waste of taxpayers money, in living memory.IMO
Just to be clear, are you talking about where FTTN has already been rolled out or where FTTN has been planned but will be FTTC instead?It's not initial rollout, but going back to install fibre to the curb instead of to the node.
FTTN is presently being rolled out where I am. The node box that I expect to be connected to was installed last week. The service is expected to go live early next year.I didn't bother connecting to the NBN when the ADSL was turned off a few months ago.

The tech I was talking to said, FTTC requires a 12v supply from the house, he thinks it will be doubtful it will be taken up.
If it does require a 12v supply and the copper pair can't be used, they may as well run fibre to the house.IMO
