Malcolm Turbull said Verizon are not rolling out Fibre to the premises any more. It seems he is wrong about that.
Ignoring the fact that the video is a Verizon ad, it is a good explanation of why FTTP is the way our NBN should continue in its current form.

Same here. Go home, everything connects to home wifi. Go to work, everything connects to work wifi.
My wifi connects to the NBN. Wifi needs a fixed connection to connect to.

Mine doesn't have to be fixed. I have no landline connection at all.

Don't you have fixed wireless?
Do you plug into your fixed wireless device or does your fixed wireless device have it's own wifi?

Don't get to technical on me lol
It's a combined device? Can plug into the computer and it also allows other devices in the house to get wifi. But the computer is not in anyway attached to a landline, be it cable, fibre or otherwise.

No landline phone either.

I know. I remember when you moved.
You have a fixed wireless connection (gateway) with wifi
The fixed wireless connects to the network (probably 3G) and your computers/phones etc connect to the wifi.

Mobile phone only. So no need for any street connection as the signal is via towers

Didn't you get the wireless gateway you talked about?
After you moved I remember you talking about the cost of getting a phone line and saying you were going to get a wireless gateway.
What sort of data limit/quota do you have?
