Hi
I am looking at the western suburbs of Melbourne including Point Cook and Caroline Springs.
I had read up about Broadband (ADSL) availability and it appears that it is either not available or very limited.
Personally when I rented a house a while back broadband was the number 1 requirement I had of the house.
I am concerned that by investing in an area with either limited or no broadband service, I am limiting the tenancy potential now and for the future.
I would appear that any required cabling infrastructure could be years away (if at all), in these areas and with broadband as a requirement set to grow in the future, not only for adults but for children and their educational needs, I am worried that this could seriously affect my investment.
Yes you can use dial up and even get wireless broadband, but in reality these options are not viable due to the limited speeds a dial up offers and the extreme cost of wireless.
All I know is, if I was looking to rent a property, I would not even consider any where which did not have wired broadband. Not only for me as a business professional but because my kids need it now and will need it more in the future.
Any views......????
