Brief background. I live in Australia, where, as many people may know, we were getting a Fibre To The Premises broadband rollout, organised by the government.

As many people are likely also aware, we in Australia had a change of government last weekend, with the incoming government dedicated to Fibre To The Node, instead (citing a faster rollout, and lower costs).

I run www.weneedthenbn.com (I'll put a clicky below), which is one of the many sites which have appeared in the last week, attempting to rescue the FTTP broadband network plan.

What I'm asking for is this: Have you had FTTN or FTTP/FTTH broadband? What can you tell us (from a user experience perspective) about stability, access, speeds, cost, etc. I would like to build up some user stories, either to use as "this is why we need FTTP", or to show me that I should stop worrying, and learn to love the node.
