You assume correct that our estate has not been earmarked for immediate NBN rollout and the package is to be 'NBN ready' for when it does eventually roll around. We have gone with the package and will use the same contractors to provide network points around the house. I assume I will need some kind of a switch or router back in the cabinet. This is probably a really dumb question, but these require power right? I know I'll need one power point for the PSU when NBN comes, bit just wondering how many points I should have the sparkie but in there.

Likely to be a 4 port/WiFi My setup has a 12 port patch panel were all the home cat cables terminate http://www.4cabling.com.au/categories/Data-Products/Cat-5E-%26-Cat-6-Patch-Panels/ So need a switch (8 port) which needs power http://www.4cabling.com.au/categories/Switches-%26-Hardware/Ethernet-%26-Network-Switches/10%7B47%7D100%7B47%7D1000-Gigabit-Network-Switches/ We also have a Siemens Gigaset (PSTN/VOIP) wirelsss phone - base station & each handset also needs power. https://www.mynetfone.com.au/Residential/Home-Phone/VoIP-Online-Shop/Wireless-VoIP-Handsets Then also have my NAS located here so it also needs power. We've only got a DPP & have a powerboard for the rest. Most of this gear is only low wattage so shouldn't be a problem. Wouldn't it be great if someone could come up with a single multipurpose powerbox that eliminate all these #$%^& plug packs Got a life, just can't find it!
