yeah, I remember before the election they were making a big deal about how FttN was the way to go because it can be rolled out "quicker" than FttP. Turns out they were either misleading us or just incompetent...I think you'll find it's the Tony and Mal show that don't have a policy.... After promising 25Mbps to 100% by 2016, their review has just found it's impossible... Like we said all along.
Also those in HFC areas get shafted. It'll be interesting to see how this part turns out for Turnbull and GimpCo. I got my 3 years supply of popcorn too- Their promised coverage by end 2016 has dropped by 57%
- The cost has increased by 33%
- It has been revealed that zero testing has been done on the copper network.
- It has been revealed that they have received zero data on the condition of the copper network.
- It has been revealed that even the 33% blown-out costs doesn't include any money to buy the copper network.
I'm afraid so Mac... and you are :topic

Just to humour me, does the information in the below diagram worry you as to how much can potentially go wrong with the current LN+P plans for broadband?
GimpCo just shows the level of bias you have /sarcasm
It is now the MTM(N) - Malcolm Turnbull Mess Network
Anything to humour you sydboy...no I couldn't give a stuff.

Then could you just refrain from posting in this thread? You add no value to the discussion except to present a biased point of view that has no understanding of the relevant technologies or implementation plans, and seems to have no interesting in gaining any understanding?
You criticise Labor for what you believe was a plan thought up on a plane flight, yet have complete faith in the current LN+P policy that was only launched in April and has seen cost blowouts, broken election commitments and a seemingly naive belief that Telstra and Optus will handover over assets of high economic value for free.
You can't even grasp that the SME market is currently faced with accessing fast broadband based on rates similar to what TPG are charging, where as the NBN is allowing them to gain access to similar high speed services for a 70% discount in line with what iiNet are offering. Funny a Government supposedly firmly out to support the SME sector is happy to consign them to either 3rd rate infrastructure, or forces them pay exorbitant rates to gain access to world class infrastructure.
I get it you don't care about the topic. I do. If we're truly heading towards being a post industrial economy then probably the only way we'll manage to compete in a world full of poor and far hungrier workers is by having some of the best communications infrastructure in the world that encourages companies to set up in Australia to take advantage of that economic advantage. Singapore and Korea are practically there, China will most likely be there in 10 years, and we'll be stuck on the infrastructure they moved on from or bypassed all together.
So if you don't give a stuff then don't waste our time with your posts that add no value to the discussion.
It is about the failure of NBN Co.
Good point. So far under the new management they've failed to roll out any brownfield nodes in streets and that 25mbps promise for "every household and business" in Australia has been downgraded to 43%. Discuss
It would appear from this link from the Australian that neither side of politices have a firm grip of this "WHITE ELEPHANT" called the NBN.
Conroy had no idea what it was going to finally cost and Malcom Turbull has also underestimated the final cost of the revamp NBN by many billions of dollars.

False. That would only be true if NBNco was going ahead with the plan as they intended. Since there has been a change of government the responsibility for the current direction of the "new" look GimpCo lies with Abbott and Turnbull thus they must shoulder the blame for the eventual failure and any waste associated with it. Surely the promises they made before the election must mean something...Conroy and Rudd have much to answer for.
