Turnbull NBN a absolute winner!!!!
Nice to see Longy all excited to finally have what half the third world has had for a decade. There is another topic talking about 4 year terms and future planning. Here we have a claim that we should be pleased to have spent billions to catch up to the bottom of the pack.
We are finally only 15 years behind with our internet technology, That is correct we lag the world by around 15 years and our country is not going to be competitive in the technical market place .
please point me to the list of THIRD WORLD countries that had 100/40 internet in 2006.
And the basic failure of your argument is the notion that economic output is dependent on RESIDENTIAL internet. How much economic activity is generated int he family home? PRECIOUS LITTLE. And if you think medium to large business has been operating on ADSL for the past ten years then you are delusional. They have had fibre connections for a very long time. They paid for them.
And now actually having superfast internet it is 'fun', but getting my android apps in 5 seconds instead of 2 minutes means what exactly? My emails are no faster - since they were already fast. Sites like this are still relatively slow. piratebay is much faster and presumably, porn is faster too. And if I used netflix that would probably be faster as well. so what?
The irony is that FTTN is delivering virtually the exact same speed that FTTH was and yet you criticse the former and laud the latter.
your political persuasions are overwhelming your ability to think.
10% of what you say is correct in a narrow minded sort of short sighted way.
I know a bit about fibre as do you so I know you business comments are founded but you fail to consider future business models. For example I currently support 200 plus employees working from home. There business related home internet speed requirements are genuine. This may well be the way of the future for many people and that is just one example.
and if you are working from home, why should the government provide the infrastructure to support that? As someone who has worked from home for most of my career, it is pretty easy to manage things. Imagine what it was like before internet? Yep, we all did it quite fine.
if you 200 employees want to work from home then either they or their employer is responsible for the infrastructure - just as they would be in the office. If the inernet is not fast enough then either pay to get it faster or... WORK IN THE OFFICE.
and why is there this pretence that working from home is an economic boom compared to working the the office?
And there is the other IT phenomenon that 'work increases to fill the current capacity'. Hard drives increase by an order magnitude and suddenly software sizes increase by... an order of magnitude. when I had dial-up internet, websites still loaded and printer drivers were 2Mb tops. Now, they can be 200-300Mb.
Tell me why FTTN wont serve your stay-at-home workers while FTTH would. the increase in speed id negligible to non-existent.
