Brunswick in Melbourne is a pretty solid medium-density suburb, and the area within it that got the NBN is the most dense of the lot - and was one of the first rollouts. It's also one of the politically safest seats in the country, held by a no-name MP, Kelvin Thompson. Maybe he has a lot of behind-the-scenes power? I've certainly never seen his name outside of local papers. Or maybe someone high up in the NBN planning committee lives there? I never could figure out 'why there?', and simply assumed that the rollout areas were political.

The NBN rollout area missed my house by about two streets...
