Telstra always have and always will have over priced internet with ridiculous download limits. Most internet 'newbies' go with Telstra because they see the ads on TV and don't know any different. They may have more users than any other ISP but my question to Telstra is "How many users renew their contract?" It is high time Australia had decent internet connection speeds without having to take a loan out to pay for it.

Nice write up, there's a lot of speculation floating around on what the NBN will actually consist of so it's good to have a lot of the detail spelled out in plain english.
It still cracks me up that Telstra haven't officially submitted a tender, just a glorified press release. I work for a medical company who deals with government tenders all the time, essentially if you don't submit your tender you're disqualified straight up, tough shit, next please. You watch that damn Senator Conroy pander to Telstra on this one. Pathetic governance for sure.

It wasn't a tender process - it was a Request for proposal. I wish people would get over their hatred of telstra and at least understand the process.
