I feel consumers are unfairly disadvantaged by the current MTM plan. As an example I could pay top dollar for a 100/40 FTTN plan and end up getting a linespeed of 100/40, whereas a fellow down the street could pay the exact same amount and end up with a 60/30 connection. A FTTP connection would have mostly avoided this issue. 

------------

I am a managed service provider. As I've migrated customers to the FTTN NBN network I've found that a lot of people end up having to choose between keeping their current ISP and losing their phone number with Telstra, or moving to Telstra as an ISP in order to keep their phone number.

As I understand it a FTTN service really only allows for a VOIP connection, this is fine and with the increased speeds typically works well. However an ISP must have an agreement in place with Telstra to enable a number to be ported over to an ISP's VOIP service. If the ISP doesn't have an agreement with Telstra (or presumably any other provider) the only options a household has to keep their number is as follows:
- Move their data service over to their phone provider.
- Get a second line ran to their house, have their phone service moved to the NBN with Telstra (Modem number 1).  Then have their NBN Internet service connected on the second line (Modem number 2).

I feel that this is unfair because many folks are lothe to change phone numbers and will accept a worse data deal with Telstra or their other phone provider to keep it.

I feel that since the NBN has been implemented the ISP market has contracted dramatically. There seems to be really only something like 5 actual ISPs in Australia. Various smaller groups have been purchased by larger players and at this stage it seems impossible that anyone would start a new ISP. That's bad for consumers as there is much less competition. 

-------------

Australians with poor Internet connections are likely to have issues selling their properties in the future. Whereas those with means will be able to pay the very costly fee to have Fibre to their home installed. This will end up creating two classes, the Internet haves and the have nots. 

-------------

No one is going to pay for their rental property to be upgraded to FTTH. Why would an owner bother? Renters will be permanantly disadvanted with FTTN connections.

-------------

Due to CVC Costs ISPs now have to massively oversubscribe their connections. As a result consumers get poor service with no recourse.
