    Many big internet service providers have thrown their support behind Labor's plan.

    The Coalition has indicated it will do a cost-benefit analysis of both systems if it wins government.

    iiNet says it is confident it would show Labor's FttP system to be superior.


    The company's chief regulatory officer Steve Dalby told AM last week the rollout should continue unimpeded irrespective of whether the Coalition wins.

    "That cost-benefit analysis ought to look at what the benefits are not just in terms of say simple performance but on the outcomes, improved outcomes for education, improved outcomes for health," Mr Dalby said.

    "It seems to me that common sense will prevail and we could see a... continuation with a change of shareholder in effect but with the plan continuing as it is."
