O.P.

Just a heads up for those with Telstra Velocity FTTP, after speaking with NBNCo and Telstra independently Telstra have told me that the network is now owned by NBN and that (at least in my area) as part of the transferral my connection will need to be transferred to FTTN.

As such if I currently want to switch to NBN I need to get a Telstra technician out to rip out my fibre, and a NBN technician to install the "superior" copper and do whatever switching is required out on the street.

At least in my area there is an 18 month handover period where the process needs to be completed, I recently signed up wtih iinet to try my luck to get NBN but after hearing this has cancelled and will just try and wait out the switch over as long as I can.

The Telstra representative I spoke to also advised that after switching over my 100mb/5mb connection to NBN I would only be able to get the first tier of NBN which I think is up to 20mbit, they could not offer any speed boosts until the infrastructure in the area is upgraded! I would also need to sign up for another 24 month contract!!!
