  @WaveTheoryUK @robb_j_m Hopefully your area will be enabled for the free fibre upgrade and you'll actually get the proper nbn rather than the crap LNP rolled out.

  To my Aussie friends: Wasn't the idea behind the NBN (National Broadband Network) to ensure that everyone had access to free (or at the very least inexpensive) internet? What happened? How much are you paying for internet access?

  @eevblog @Hobbie4C Perhaps there's been a huge surge in demand for bandwidth from those cellsites since the NBN outage? Everyone has the same idea as you and bandwidth is finite. The more concurrent users, the lower the throughput.

  @robb_j_m What type of connection do you have? Anything with the copper in it such as fttn, fttc and HFC are allowed to drop out about 5 times per day and nbn don't consider it a fault. Fttp is much more reliable and only drops if there's network maintenance

  @BamBam0667 @EnergyWrapAU No, nbn has cost far more due to LNP. LNP original costing: Promised $29.5B (2013 election); revised to $41B in Strategic Review. The evidence is that in the caucus , as detailed in Turnbull’s book, Abbott simply wanted LNP to be contrarian about nbn. They stopped the fibre rollout and replaced it with copper. At the time, LNPs message that nbn would go over budget was favoured due to a complicit media. For instance, when the ABC science editor did a comprehensive comparison between labour’s FTTP and LNP copper, the report was spiked until after the election, due to ABC management wanting to appease LNP. Then, under LNP, ABC did not have a science editor. Consider the subsequent dearth of reporting by ABC in following years about the biggest infrastructure project ever. Consider that Turnbull appointed a former business associate to be chair of ABC whilst a Director of NBN snd whilst a ceo of a supplier to NBN with a $100m contract for design and fabrication of copper based distribution boxes, which have subsequently been removed. So there is no surprise that the public were force fed the line that all that glitters is copper. The reality set in when the deterioration of the copper network became apparent to punters. The cost of NBN is now at approx $50B with $54B to 2030 to due to the replacement costs of LNPs copper systems with fibre. So Abbott and Turnbull cost the country many billions not to mention the years of misery and lost productivity by prolonging the copper network.
