Great article, I knew it was bad under the incompetence of the Neanderthals running the show but I didn't know they had laid 50,000KMs of copper cable. That's even worse than the pathetic late-19th century coax we have.
What a complete and utter waste of funds, holding back all of us those jokers perpetrated when they knew full well that the so-called mixed technology NBN was a complete lemon.
They should have been sacked on the spot for such short sighted idiocy. The media should be strung up for not exposing it for the farce it was because we still have to live with this.
Words are truly inadequate to convey just how shockingly bad and incompetent the NBN decision was.
By the way, IanG, that link don't work as there is the F word in the link, which gets changed, now, I wonder if this will work (slowly as I;m on the NBN):
NBN Mess.

PS: nope, that didn't work, I'm sure people can find it during those rare moments the NBN is actually functioning, just don't hold your breath while trying to download anything.
