Here’s An Honest NBN Coverage Checker

When will you get the NBN? That’s the question on the hearts and minds of every geek in the country suffering under a lacklustre copper network that slows to a snail’s pace every time it rains.

This new coverage checker is a sad state of the world we live in now.

This friendly-looking website tells you when you’re going to get the NBN. At least that’s what you’re led to believe.

I’m excited about the NBN coming to my area. What happens now?
Nothing.

Here’s hoping we get some fibre in our internet diet soon.
