NBN is awesome....

Got NBN HFC 2 years ago, went from ADSL with 15 down 4 up, to having 87 down 30 up. Then about 6 months went to 106 down 35 up.

Now am getting 920 down 45 up but only paying for 100G plan....Awesome or what!


HFC is the coax - fibre combo solution. It is the least future proof and the most heavily congested.

that you think that's 'great stuff' shows how brainwashed you are.

Globally, we're ranked 60th on our fixed internet broadband speeds behind countries like Chile, Russia, Bulgaria, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and Romania and thats assuming an average of 60mb/s ... which I doubt very many Aussies get in practice


You do understand sarcasm???????

My bet is that not only does Australia have
close to the most expensive internet in the world
it's also amongst the slowest.

Australia is the land of corporate thieves and rip offs.


They gave us the fish that john west reject !!

We missed out on the electric car revolution for the same reason and told us that the old commodore and ford falcon clunkers were the future Sad

These people should be taken out and guillotined in a public square for the damage they have inflicted onto us Sad



Actually, You have hit the nail o the head.

20 years ago, my first trip to Europe I noticed something that has stayed with me since.

Subsequent trips have reinforced this opinion.

The vehicles in Australia were on average
Twice the cost
With less standard features
More expensive to maintain
with more expensive replacement parts.

The fuel we get in Australia is known as some of the dirtiest in the civilized world.
So dirty in fact, that some vehicle manufacturers will not export some vehicles because they know they will fail due to the fuel.

Clothing was, on average, cheaper
Some foods were, on average, cheaper (although fruit was not as available and the quality sometimes not as good)
Housing in many places much cheaper, more often 1/2 or less than Australia and much better built with serious insulation and a basement.

In Australia we pay through the nose for sub standard products, and we shouldn't have to.

One factor not mentioned in most of the analyses about the relative cost of the NBN downunder is the sheer distances involved.  The reason why overseas countries often have cheaper fibre is because they live mainly in densely packed cubicles in large apartment blocks.  Dowunder, we tend to live in less densely packed suburbs, with the obvious problem that what ever we do, the cost of connecting our houses would proportionally greater.  Copper cabling is already in existence and would satisfy a first generation NBN.  What is required is for a second or third generation network.  Unfortunately, the Government has badly lapsed on that issue, believing that the existing copper network is adequate.  Now, either we need the option to upgrade to fibre.  Something Scotty from Marketing isn't offering.   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour.  Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe?  Tsk, tsk, tsk...   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
