We were running out of time to switch to the NBN in our area, so I had finally done enough research to take the plunge (and hope that none of the horror stories came true).
The activation date rolled around, at 9am I was texted that our internet might be offline during the transition… and by 9:45am we were rocking 50Mbps!
I live chatted my new RSP (Aussie Broadband) and Telstra (my old provider) and within 30 minutes had finalised my old services. I think what made it so easy for me is that we have only had a landline number because no one offered naked ADSL in our area – we hadn’t had a landline plugged in for about 10 years.
