Malcolm Turnbull advertised that FTTN could handle speeds up to 100Mb down. I thought that sounded alright -- cheaper, faster rollout, and same speeds as FTTP anyway (with faster FTTP speeds than 100Mb allegedly being absurdly expensive anyway).

Of course, that requires keeping distances from nodes to a minimum, and in the end that wasn't done. I can't get higher than about 50Mb down due to distances from the exchange. I recall them saying that their 50Mb plan is most popular -- but I'm only on it because my connection is unstable at faster speeds. So yeah, it sucks.
