SubjectOptus NBN - good deal?
Message-ID<otje75$6s9$1@gioia.aioe.org>
I'm currently on Optus NBN unlimited data for $80 per month, which 
includes Fetch TV and Optus Sport.

Currently it is FTTB but in a few weeks it will be FTTP.

Is this a good deal in comparison to what else is on the market?

If there is fibre to the premises then that is going to be faster than 
if you have copper from the basement to the apartment.

How could it not be?  Fibre is quicker than copper.

Just because it is capable does not mean that you will get it

Not when the fastest service you can buy for sensible amounts
of money is slower than over a short copper service like with fttb.

obviously on the 100 Mbps plan. how much does it cost and why do you 
need the speed? I get close to 50Mbps with Aussiebroadband on the 50Mbps 
plan for $74 with no contract and no upfront fees

Not necessarily with the fiber currently only doing 100/40

I actually get 114/44 with my fttn and the street cable distance
is much further than you would get in a normal block of flats.

Sure, fttp can do better in future, but currently doesn’t in that situation.

Bug advantage with fttp instead of fttb is that you can have more
than one service, but that obviously costs twice as much and it
would normally only be small businesses operating from home
in that bother with more than one, hoping that one will mostly
be available to use unless the fttp service itself falls over.
