In April last year lobby group Internet Australia called for Fibre to the Node (FTTN) to be abandoned in favour of FTTdp after the revelation of new, lower cost, optical fibre used in FTTdp trials – and survey results that showed 80 per cent of Internet Australia members were dissatisfied with the mixed-technology method (MTM).

Nestled in between FTTN and Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) in speed, cost and complexity, it promises to be cheaper than FTTP, faster than FTTN and equally quick to roll out.
