NBN Rollout Scrapped

[Tisme]

Takes a bit of time for their site to build (must have had Telstra build it on an IBM platform), but now you can check your address to find out when you can access the NBN.

They had to employ an american accent @ $3m/annum wage to tow the LNP's line.

Quigs didn't do too bad bearing in mind he rolled out naff all.

CEO Mike Quigley, who last year donated his mega wage to charity, saw his salary package jump by more than $100,000 to $1.96 million.

Well I was stoked to find out my beach house will get NBN by years end. That was until I read the whole story that told me I get FTTN. Jebus Christ what the hell are we paying, what will no doubt be $100bn for?

"MTM" should stand for Malcolm Turnbull Mess. I lose because the LNP canned a fibre system to garner votes from an electorate with NFI. I get pinged because lazy Australians can't be fagged questioning their blind faith in politicians. It's all about me and I'm not happy Jan.

Why bother killing ADSL if it isn't giving any real benefit?

On what information do you base that figure ?

 

[Tisme]

Not yours for sure.

It's already at $56bn from the original mid 20's, so my crystal ball says $100bn to finish.

Of course I blame Noco for the blow out...he voted for Malcolm

I tried the NBN's new website. Apparently I can get Sky Muster only but my neighbor 100 metres away can get fixed wireless. I'm actually closer to the place where they put all those aerials. I think I may wait a bit.

You may not have a choice.

I heard something about having your home phone cut off if you don't NBN by a certain date. Is that right ?

You might have to put that up to the topic umpire to see if your statement is agreeable to him.

Prima facie I would think you correct

I'm just interested in the basis of your cost claim.

Well I posted years ago when discussing with Sydboy, that the nbn was available at my place in Mandurah, also at the two places next door, they weren't connected.
I also said my two sons and two daughters, didn't have the nbn and were completely wireless.
Well it must be three years on, and nothing has changed, biggest white elephant ever.

Indefensible is the word I've been using when saturating the webs with my groundless "opinions".

I can understand how dried up crusty people, who pine for the old days of gramophone records, Billy Hughes and lard sandwiches would be happy with third world connections, but for the rest of us who look forward to change with quality product ......... well I think it will be luutzu who gets to see that at this rate,

"Never change horses in midstream" is one of those truisms that is particularly relevant in the construction and engineering industries. Most of us know how changing even minor things on a home construction results in extensions of time and a disproportionate increase in final price.

We all know the twofold spite behind Abbott's revised NBN plan: 1) to win govt 2) to keep rival Malcolm closer.

The leadership teams have been revolving doors of industry oracles who leave once they realise what a pup and hotchpotch the network is to be and potential wrecker of their individual reputations.

The uptake says heaps about the product: "Today nbn services are available through retail service providers to 4.2 million homes and businesses with 1.8 million already connected around the country."

Meanwhile the site is crowing about FttDP which apparently means Netcomm will drop fibre to copper multiplexing switches in the telstra pits. I wonder if they will use the same empty fruit juice bottles and duct tape to keep the moisture and water out Telstra techs do now with PSTN.

“We are delighted to be leading the world in the deployment of FTTC technology. This demonstrates that nbn is on the cutting edge of technological advancement in the global telecoms market.

“Our goal is to deliver broadband in the most cost and time efficient manner possible and FTTC will help us do this in many parts of the nbn™ network.”

Just found a video that reminds me of .....

 

[Tisme]

NBN Corporate plan $56bn with $20bn loan/equity topped up from Mathius in Nov 2016

in the words of Ziggy in 12th Dec 2013: "It would reduce costs and bring forward revenues, reducing peak funding from an estimated $73bn to $41bn under the revised outlook."

That what you pay the big bucks for, expert costings that are blowout by 1.37 times in less time than two years later.
