Re: A bird in the hand
Hmm reminds me of a funny saying that my father, who was a professor of medicine used to say, rarely;
A push in the bush is worth two in the hand.
Sorry…

I'm sure that my mesh network doesn't provide the same level of detail as envisioned by the author of this article but the concept of wifi as a motion sensor is available as a paid subscription ($2.99 /month) on the Linksys VELOPS mesh network. I have deployed the VELOPS mesh network in my house and it's fantanstic for seamless, fast excellent coverage of 2.4/5Ghz wifi, I have no want or need for remote monitoring of my house, besides our two cavoodles would present many false readings!
Me three, I'm on a FTTN connected 'telstra small business package' for a 50Mbps service inc phone and domain hosting for $89/month, when its working I get ~40/9Mbps but regularly due to 850m of 80+ year old copper it either suffers frequent dropouts or the speed is retarded, currently 8/6Mbps.
The fact that it's a business service means I get much faster responses on tech support and quicker nbn tech appointments but overall the end result is still crap!
Our neighbours are worse off and I'm trying to get a quote for a community build but that option with nbn has been shut down for now.
FTTP is the only way!
Simon, may I suggest that you drop your contract to a 50Mbps one which should be lower cost and the end result is the same.
