Australian Politics Forum - Conroys Creative NBN Accounting

JC Denton Gold Member Offline Posts: 5471 Gender:	Re: Conroys Creative NBN Accounting Reply #15 - Dec 21^st, 2010 at 4:49pm I asked the same question. Surely if these future advances that the NBN, and only the NBN, will be able to profit from, are right around the corner, why not just wait until they actually appear before deciding whether or not they're worth 43 billion+?

Longy, surely you dont accept the slow and unreliable broadband we have here.
Its like saying we had dirt roads that were sufficient so building highways and freeways around the country was a waste of time and money.
Our broadband in this country is not up to international standards and if we continue to rely on copper wires for communication and sending of data then we are only going to get further behind and that will only cost businesses more money.
Personally I dont care if people can download porn, movies or games faster but as far as doing business in Australia, we need an NBN

it is neither slow nor unreliable. I get 10Mbs and it is reliable. It is the same for most people. The speed of our internet at home is a fundamental irrelvancy. Business yes, not home. Identify what you cant currently do because of our network?

Im not saying the network is perfect. it isnt. Im not saying it doesnt need upgrading. it does. what it DOESNT need is being thrown away and started again at enormous cost. I keep asking for the reason, the killer need for the network and no one ever gives me one. Some nebulous undefined 'future need' is not good enough - not when $43 is being spent. Can you identify an actual REAL need that couldnt be fixed by simply upgrading everyone to ADLS 2+ standard?

why? you can get 100Mbs for business now in many places. VDSL is coming out in some places and is almost as fast. You can tie multiple ADSL 2+ services together to increase broadband and you can get a variety of other services as well. But if what you say is true why not build an NBN that excludes rsidential services and save 75% of the cost?

Whilst I dont belive that is true I think a lot of people support the NBN so they can get faster pirate movies, pirate software and download porn quicker. So why shoudl we pay for it?
