\nApril 11, 2013<\/p>\n

With all the claims and counter claims going back and forth via Twitter or Facebook I\u2019ve been getting frustrated,because there\u2019s lots of incorrect facts and sometimes outright lies being perpetrated. People on both sides of the political debate have been guilty of this.<\/p>\n

My goal is to collate the articles I\u2019ve read about the NBN Co\u2019s FTTH or the LNP\u2019s FTTN alternative in one place. I’ll regularly update this list.<\/p>\n

FTTH is Fibre to the Home (sometimes referred to as FTTP or Fibre to the Premise)<\/p>\n

FTTN is Fibre to the Node (the Telstra junction box at the end of the street)<\/p>\n

I hope people find this useful.\u00a0 I include articles from both sides of the debate – please post comments or suggestions for extra articles to include.\u00a0 I won\u2019t accept anything from the ALP or Liberal party websites or from politicians for obvious reasons.<\/p>\n

Please post your comments or suggestions for extra articles to include<\/strong>.New links added 18\/4\/13 – they’re highlighted in yellow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Disclaimer<\/strong> : I’m personally in favour of the ALP’s NBN. I think it’s the best option.<\/p>\n

Note re Comments <\/strong>: Any comments with swearing or personal abuse of me (or anyone else) will not be approved. Play the ball not the person …<\/p>\n
