My 2c
Real world problems for us have been mostly to do with Voice services.
I don’t know why but porting numbers is worse than pulling teeth and takes 
about 400x as long, Cat-A, Cat-C doesn’t matter, it sucks eggs.

When I heard they were converting to FTTN from FTTP I initially thought beaut, 
now all our oldies that don’t have the internet but do have a PSTN service can 
just happily continue without being forced into change (very stressful for them 
you can appreciate), all our business clients that are happy with their 30year 
old PBX but need a decent speed internet service for offsite backup/ multisite 
can get just that… but then… VOIP/virtual PBX over FTTN… yuck.
We’ve had very little trouble with deploying internet services and have been 
getting good results. FTTP,FTTN both been ok with the exception of a couple for 
the war stories book.

Funny story. We have client who’s a bikie (picture the hulk with a beard) he 
was told by an NBN installer that even though we requested to put in a new line 
and not touch existing services the NBN couldn’t do that and it had to 
disconnect one of his existing phonelines… “Get out” was the response. (and he 
did)

My question is, if this NBN is all about super-fast internet why force people 
to change their phone service?

For those that didn’t watch 4Corners last night, this is very much worth 
watching. It really shows how NZ’s UFB compares to NBN.
