What have you been hiding?”

The question comes following the announcement from NBN HFC rollout has been “paused” – effective immediately – while work is carried out on existing connections.”]

To do so, new connections have been halted, effective immediately.

If you are in an area set to get HFC, and haven’t already – this means you’re going to be waiting at least six months longer for your NBN.”]
