NBN and live footy a good match 

COLLINGWOOD football star Dale Thomas demonstrated live AFL coverage available via the internet to Bacchus Marsh youngsters Zac and Alex. 

Thomas teamed up with Telstra at Bacchus Marsh Football Club to show off high-speed internet TV and phone services ahead of the club’s connection to the National Broadband Network. 

Bacchus Marsh is one of Australia’s first places to be hooked up to the NBN, with about 2000 premises expected to go live in the coming months.
