If nbn™ can't say when it will arrive in your street, you're getting a Telstra HFC connection

This non-NBN is hurting Australian exports

Like many people in Australia I have established a "small business" which pays wages if I am lucky (but removes risk from corporate)... I export knowledge and services to Europe (UTC --> UTC+01:00) and Caribbean (UTC -04:00 --> UTC-05:00) meaning conference calls, video calls, etc must be in the middle of our night (when I am at home) to meet with client business hours.

I am lucky if I can sustain a voice Skype call, much less video call... I pay Telstra for ADSL2+ (performance is consistently and always way down on advertised performance of ADSL 2+)... NBN not scheduled for your address, check back soon messages are all I have received for years...

I live about 5km radius from Melbourne CBD in a medium-high density suburb postcode 3142 (density = lots of potential NBN customers with less rollout)...

The inability to effectively communicate hurts small export businesses - the very businesses government purports to support.

my windows 7 won't upgrade

i have upgraded 2 devices, but have a Windows 7 machine that refuses to take the upgrade... so it's one thing to threaten but without support, what's the point?
