Damn, sh!!tty NBN for me until at least 2025.

The Luddite Abbott government shackled us with this 100th rate mess which now has to be fixed at great expense, what a mess.

I've never paid much attention to this. Checking it out I currently have HFC and suburb I'm in doesn't even appear on the list.

So it uses the foxtel connection cable. (I don't have foxtel). I'd imagine prioritizing HFC near the bottom to upgrade to FTTP since apparently it performs similarly to FTTP anyways but is dependent on how many people using the HFC.

But to David's point yeah it seems we penny pinched on NBN infrastructure so all the other "grant" programs could be funded.

Yeah, not sure about that. HFC maxes out at 1gb/s and that's in near perfect conditions. You'd be lucky to get near 500mb/s on HFC in a residential environment.

My FTTP is currently running at 2gb/s. I can upgrade to 10gb/s but it would mean replacing my home hardware which doesn't make too much sense at the moment.

Sure I guess for private use not an issue. For a business can see how its an issue.

We have HFC, it drops out and it is not quick at all.

HFC is basically coax from the node to the premises.

Hmm, coax, coaxial cable, that would be . . . 19th century technology.

Pathetic really.

We have HFC too, not really all that flash. But it is better than all copper.

To be fair, copper was simply amazing. The telephone network in this country, built by us when it was publicly owned, was set up before the internet had been thought of. Yet we managed to squeeze out internet connections for years on a network not built for it. The copper network was a great piece of infrastructure building and it served us well for such a long time.

It was clear, however, that the copper network could not handle anywhere near the sort of traffic which was about to hit it.

The solution was to replace it with a similarly far sighted piece of infrastructure, a network which would serve us into the future and which we could build on as needed. Unfortunately the narrow minded, tech ignorant neo-cons in the Liberal and National parties decided we didn't need a decent network. So, now we are all going to have to pay for the mess they created.

And pay big time for it.

So my nbn went out yesterday morning. Still have no idea when it’s coming back.

So I’ve cracked out the 2017 GF. Halfway through the third.

We are looking a good chance. All over them.

10gb price where I am keeps dropping. I think I need to sign up.

That's the beauty of proper FTTH, what the Aussie NBN was meant to be. The transmission speeds are dependant on the equipment at either end of the fibre and as technology progresses, the bandwidth available on the fibre will get bigger. No need to touch the cables for a long long time.

But the Abbot Turnbull Butchered NBN will need continuous infra upgrades until they finally rollout FTTH. All because Murdoch wanted to protect his cable network.
