It has been
reported in local media that NBN Co
will be commencing the Yamba rollout
of its allegedly high speed broadband in June 2018, with Maclean and Grafton rollouts
to commence in January 2019.
This news is
quite frankly underwhelming.
Whatever
information NBN Co was giving out obviously didn’t include the type of
connection that was on offer, as this important point was not mentioned by
journalists and there is contradictory information on the company's website.
These three urban
areas in the Clarence Valley are yet to hear if households and businesses are
being offered fibre-to-the-curb, fibre-to-the-node or fixed wireless.
Because it is
certain that the best option fibre-to-the-premises isn’t on offer to regional second cousins of the big metropolitan areas.
Personally I
will carefully refuse to look at any construction works taking place in Yamba
come June, July and August.
The sight of
all those water-filled trenches will be too depressing.
Who starts extensive
in-ground construction in winter at the low-lying, high water table mouth of a floodplain, I ask you?
