I recently read some comments from residents of Willunga South, South Australia. Mr Stephen Nye, the owner of Clippers Hair Designs, believes that the NBN is:

… a fantastic idea. This will go down in history as one of the most intelligent decisions any Australian government has made ... this is very much needed for the area. Willunga residents have suffered long and hard with very very poor or no reception ... there is a very positive vibe around town about this, almost a buzz.

Liz Milford, a Flinders University project manager, said:

My husband works from home ... and I also do a lot of work and multi-tasking at home. Both the kids are very much into everything internet related at the moment, so as they get older there’s going to be more and more pressure from the home-work side of things. All these things our current internet connection can’t cope with.
