The LNP NBN (no broadband network) is a lemon.

https://www.itnews.com.au/news/nbn-co-reveals-fttn-premises-that-never-hit-25mbps-peak-speeds-516849?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=editors_picks

1.5 % of fttn premises wont hit 25mbs (15k+), 58% of the hfc network is unsuable and some premises which don't have copper lead ins (my own) cannot be serviced by fttn/fttdp at all.

The ALP needs to hold a royal commission into this and then sort out the mess.....

You would think Malcolm would've done it properly considering he invented the internet

You keep saying that when you lot did nothing except make things infinitely worse. I hope your 2nd generation dial-up internet can handle the bandwidth from your own keystrokes of posting here. If we all posted at once I reckon it would just bomb out  LOL

Yep, same here Grap. A whole day out and only come back tonight. Poor old Codsy spends all her time trying to defend this pack of incompetent a---holes and is like the government, whatever happens blame Bill.

Nonsense AP, what we are getting now is not what labour decided on after consulting with experts and what is being built elsewhere in the world while retiring the tech the Libs are still rolling out, we still don't have NBN here. It was an all fibre network that was to be built with wireless for remote locations. Along came the libs and their bullshit of cheaper, sooner, finished by 2016, to destroy what should have been.

Who built Telecom? Private enterprise?

Anyway, I'm still waiting for 2016 to roll around here in Lismore almost 3 years late. To be honest I hope they don't get here until after this govt is shown the door, perhaps fibre will be rolled out instead. If they roll out FTTN here I won't be able to use the net during the next flood like I was in the last, the node will need replacing.

With GST (grab, snatch and take) tax, Australia pays some of the highest taxes in the world.
75% of our petrol is tax
There are a plethora of sneaky fees and charges introduced by grubberment agencies in every single transaction.
Like ghouls they steal from the dead with new taxes on already taxed super when the person dies and tries to pass it on to their children.

And for all this we have......
Third world or worse public transport systems
              But our politicians are the highest paid in the world
Pathetic and inadequate heath care and hospitals
             But our politicians and senior public servants retire on the most generous
              super scheme in the world
Pathetic and worse than third world internet
             But we have more politicians per capita than virtually any other country.
Tens possibly hundreds of thousands of homeless people and children
             But our politicians and senior public servants rort the system and steal
             from the taxpayers without punishment every day
Laws that take away basic rights such as privacy, the presumption of innocence until proven guilty and the right to silence.
             But our politicians and judges want to censor the corrupt dealings of
             themselves and their criminal mates

IT'S TIME FOR A REVOLUTION

IT'S TIME FOR A REVOLUTION NOW

Sorry - Labor created the NBN network, and fooked it up from day one. Should've followed the NZ model, where government had no role in building it.
