how fast is the nbn?, page-48

RamPage01, good luck trying to load some of today's webpages on a 56k modem, let alone trying to do more than a single task at a time.

RamPage01, did you bother to look at any of the videos I posted that showed how people are currently working from home?


Here is a snap of how the old BBS looked.

prosperman, so the difference between the cost of the two versions of NBN according to your figures will be around $60b.

So the last 300 odd metres being the only difference (FTTN and FTTH) of the two versions of NBN, yet you claim it will be a $60b difference in costs.

I read the Coalitions NBN papers they released with that claim, they didn't include any substance to support their claim. (Links below)

"...lol seriously Glug, have you ever spoken to publishers to ask if this is currently an issue?...makattack"

Hmmm.. the fact that I have been unable to send print jobs to the printers due to the size and the poor upload speeds on our ADSL2+ connection, thus I needed to put the work on a stick and drive to the printers location to get the printing done, my personal experience.

An ABC interview with the head of a printing company discussed their experience with bottle necks of our communications network stopping them from expanding their business.

I have also had issues with trying to uploading design work, drafting work and promotional work, etc., and ultimately the current communications network was incapable of facilitating this, and the work had to be physically delivered.

makattack, try getting out of you bubble. May be start by looking at some of the videos I previously posted and check out what companies around the world are currently doing.


"...Costs have already blown out...makattack"

Maybe this will peg some of the costs back. The Coalition claimed connection cost to be $3,600, yet the actual cost has come in at $2,200 to $2,500 to connect each home.


"...Labor's business plan success is based on a ridiculously high participation rate...makattack"

Yet the Coalitions plan is based on charging $24 less than Labor and reducing their market size. With only saving $7.5b without considering any of the additional costs associated with maintenance or upgrades.

Not a lesser evil at all, more like a greater evil.
