That's normal for NBN FTTP connections, the media outrage is mostly sponsored by Telstra wanting to defend it's copper monopoly and justify Malcolm's backflip!
What the NBN is genuinely piss-weak at doing is getting the real message out!
The other stupid fact, fibre has so much potential if it isn't choked by the ISP lack of provisioning, the main problem the NBN has is that ISPs refuse to purchase enough CVC(connectivity virtual circuit). The ISP wants to pay as little as possible for bandwidth, and CVC purchase determines the ISP's capability during peak periods. It's all about minimising expenses and maximising income, buy the bare minimum acceptable and sell it for as much as possible!
Our government is gutless, most countries have rules about the minimum levels of service and provisioning an ISP can provide, but not Australia or the USA, it's all about shareholder profit here and there!
