I'm sorry I don't understand? I haven't heard of Rhodes before.


Ah, sorry, poor guess on my part.

Rhodes is a new super-high-density suburb in Sydney. There is zero new telco infrastructure and 45,000 residents. The nearest exchange is in Concord, about 5km away. So one or two buildings have NBN, a few buildings have (overpriced) internal fibre, but the vast majority have sub-2Mbps DSL.

There were a few companies putting in fixed 4G links cos, y'know, 2Mbps barely qualifies for email and web browsing these days.

I lived there a few years ago; perhaps the situation is better now.
