No we’re still getting scalped.
Unless another government chooses to nationalise fibre installations on a permanent and on-going basis (outside metro areas) we’ll continue being scalped in perpetuity.
The private sector in Australia has repeatedly failed to deliver even somewhat competitive prices in a number of key sectors. With a population <10% that of the USA, we do not have enough people for the private sector to not end up in a monopoly or duopoly.
Markets work really well when they incentivise competition but Australia has unique geographical and demographic factors which do not facilitate that incentivisation to sustain itself.
