Kiwis are switching to FTTH at a record rate! That could have been us but for the stinking Libs!

http://www.zdnet.com/article/new-zealand-fibre-uptake-rate-10-times-oecd-average/

I don’t think it is a coincidence that kiwis are returning to NZ in record numbers. Australia is a dump where only housing speculation is flourishing. How long before our creative industries leave for kiwi too?

We are paying a heavy price for howard/costello and abbott/hokey and Malodorous.

Expect growth to decline and unemployment to rise unless policies are changed.

$58Bn and counting for a mish mash of incompatible obsolete technologies is a waste of public money only exceeded by howard.

WELCOME TO THE COPPER INTERNET ELECTION WE HAD TO HAVE  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

No rightard game to comment on this? It shows we are sliding to the status of the poor white trash of Asia.

Outer Mongolia, Upper Limpopoland are laughing at us. We are an international frigging JOKE! Thanks, stupid Libs, more ons!

A brighter person than the Dumb Monk would note that the graph supplied also showed as as 4th in the OECD.

You really are a dummie, monk!

No, I think the real dummy is you, Longy.

All NBN has been doing for the last 49 months is hooking people up to the fibre rolled out under Labor.

People want fibre and will move to where it is, especially if it has some enlightened leadership in the country like NZ has.

Rolling out the MTM, for well over $100Bn, is the act of a traitor. People are leaving Aust for NZ—can’t you draw the obvious conclusion from that FFS?

Wow, one tap with a limp lettuce leaf is all the rightards can do here? Really? What powder puffs!

A) YOUR chart shows australia as 4th thereby debunking your idiot claim
B) THe MTM does not cost over $100B. that is yet another of your delusional fantaises with zero evidence
C) People are leaving NZ for Oz, not the other way. The only ones going back are being DEPORTED.

You are not up to date, Longy! The movement is the other way, Aust to NZ as Aust slowly sinks in the sh1t econmically.

More investment in infrastructure, rolling out the real NBN, cleaning up the Budget, stimulating the economy are urgently needed but we aren’t getting it from the abbott/turncoat shambles.

The cost of the MTM outdated and incompatible rubbish has already zoomed up to $56Bn. Nothing has been done bar two  trials of FTTN and you think the cost won’t increase markedly from $56Bn? Remember, NBN Co more ons still do not know the state of the Telstra copper! And they will run out new copper, the most expensive option to roll out, power and maintain, where the Telstra copper is too bloody crap to use.

In years to come $56Bn will be regarded with a snort of derision.

In science, the onus is on the person making a claim to prove it is sound and can be backed-up. You've done no such thing. All you've provided is a graph with some numbers. Without data the graph is essentially meaningless. You need to prove that it is a graph indicating either FTTH or FTTN. You made the claim, you need to back it up with proof.

The history of FTTN ==> FTTH is well known. I don’t have to prove it.

There is a brain drain from Australia especially by ICT people. This is mainly because of the mishmash of rubbish the Libs are installing instead of a National Broadband Network.

FaceBook??? You have the audacity to use facebook as proof of anything?  This is why people laugh at you!

A "visionary" investment in fibre networks in New Zealand is propelling the country to the front of the OECD pack, network company Chorus told investors today.


Chief executive Mark Ratcliffe said the rate of fibre adoption in New Zealand is "comfortably" the fastest in the OECD and more than 10-times the OECD average (see chart below).

"It is clear that 2015 was the year that fibre went mass market in New Zealand, and that change has come upon all of us in the industry remarkably rapidly," he said.
Describing fibre as "the fourth utility", chairman Patrick Strange said, in contrast with New Zealand, Australia's fibre rollout was "awash in cost over-runs and red ink".

British Telecom has been building out a fibre-to-the-cabinet network and Australia was now looking to do likewise, he said.

"We completed our fibre-to-the-cabinet network in 2011, covering around 80 percent of the population."

Fibre use was taking off "massively", Ratcliffe said, outstripping the take-up of copper broadband at the same stage of availability.

After four years of availability, copper broadband was used by about 8 percent of customers who could buy it, he said. Fibre adoption is already pushing 20 percent while availability was now "nudging ahead" of the OECD average.


Ratcliffe said he had just returned from the Broadband World Forum in Europe and concluded they were not likely to catch up for "decades at least". Therefore, New Zealand needed to benchmark itself against the progressive broadband nations of Asia, not Europe and the US.

"We are the envy of many -- they want to do what we are doing but haven't figured out how yet. I firmly believe that the fibre network we are building today will be a visionary investment that future generations will thank us for."

While Chorus is clearly pleased with progress on the fibre rollout, it continues to struggle with regulation that has seen the price it can charge for legacy copper access -- still the bulk of its revenue -- slashed.

Well, too bloody bad because we are not going to get superfast internet. FTTN over Telstra copper wouldn’t provide decent speeds even if the nods were well provided with fibre which they are not.

HFC can’t provide fast internet either, too subject to congestion—and streamed video just adds to this congestion. You will have to go to Hansard for the committee looking into the MTM to see that there is no provision for DOCSIS3.1 in the NBN Co budget.

A steaming pile of second hand crap. Watch emigration of skilled people and creative industries rush out of Australia.

That page is full of information from technical sources. It would probably hurt your little head to read it. Ignorance is bliss to Armpit.

Quote:

In 2013, then opposition communications spokesman Malcolm Turnbull pledged to ditch Labor's fibre-to-the-premises national broadband network and replace it with a mix of technologies including upgraded copper wires and pay TV cables. Now, despite a blowout in the cost of his version of the NBN from $29.5 billion to $56 billion, he insists it is better than what Labor would have delivered. 'A mixed technology model is cheaper and faster and more efficient. That is beyond question,' Turnbull, now prime minister, told parliament last week. But, according to communications consultant Paul Budde, it's not. He says many in the telecommunications industry are losing confidence in the NBN. 'If you look at the shambles which we have now, obviously he doesn't know what he is doing,' Budde says. Two years after taking office, Turnbull continues to blame the rising cost of the NBN on the previous Labor government and the previous management of the company.
