Meanwhile, back at the coalface, demand keeps rising and the campaign continues. Try to avoid getting distracted by details. The fact that we might not know what the bandwidth is being used for doesn't stop the demand from rising.
It's been picked up by the
Australian Financial Review, Sydney Morning Herald, Channel 7 News and many, many other news outlets --
Tuesday's NBN national day of action has blown us away.
Hundreds of you helped to deliver the petition to 120 MPs right across the country, we put our case for fibre-to-the-home directly to NBN Co's CEO Ziggy Switkowski -- and it's forcing politicians within Tony Abbott's own government to start openly discussing the huge support for fair, affordable broadband.
We've just finished putting together this quick video about Tuesday's national day of action and our campaign so far to save the NBN.
It's amazing to see what 270,000 people can achieve when we're in something together -- click here to check out the video, and be sure to share it with friends and family.
As Malcolm Turnbull and NBN Co start making decisions on the future of Australia's broadband over the coming days, know that you're voice is in the mix.
We're being heard. Thanks so much for being a part of this campaign for fair, affordable access to broadband.
Let's keep it up.
Nick, Alex and Save the NBN campaign
P.S. There's ongoing updates about how you can help on our
Facebook page -- and you can grab t-shirts and online NBN defender kits on the website
here.
"Demand" is only seemingly increasing because "new" customers of telcos are being forced onto the NBN even where the plug is still on the wall...they do however get the option not to have a phone/ data line at all.
