Well, looking back to reflect on the Governments decision, and it was the right one.

l'm glad that they banned Huawei parts from the NBN. They should be kicked out of the country - all products, including NRL sponsorship too.
One hopes 5G pricing plans can come down to NBN levels. I pay $60/m including the phone.
OT NBN - but to show the complexity of thisWell, looking back to reflect on the Governments decision, and it was the right one.

As was said, when it was first announced, $50billion dollars is a lot of money. Just to enable high speed pr0n to be downloaded and play internet games.
It wouldn't be so bad if the ISP providers had to fund it, I'm sure Australian taxpayers would have been better served, if their money had been spent on high speed rail, gas pipeline from W.A to Cooper Basin, Snowy 2 battery.
They still would have had $30billion dollars left over, what a scam, what a bloody disgraceful waste of taxpayers money. IMO
What do you reckon little Johnny’s war on terror and invasion of Iraq cost us?
The NBN is going through my area now and seems to be fairly labour intensive with traffic management,cable pull and pitting and piping which is great for the local economy and us plebs.
All the wireless talk is great but it still relies on towers which I guess are still hard wired?
So is the problem the fibre to the kerb and node?
not seen the article..but 20 down from govt value (sell value) or 20 down from a previous S&P figure?S&P evaluate NBN as over valued. Suggestion of $20bn writedown
The problem, IMO, is two fold.
Firstly it should have been started at the CBD, so high volume data users i.e business could use it and give it a solid financial return.
Secondly, IMO, it should have at least been part funded by the telecommunication sector and if it was rolled out on a financial rather than social model, it would at least be giving a reasonable return on capital.
So 12 months on from connecting the FTTN and I'm now having constant drop outs. Over the last 2 months the drop outs have made the internet connection somewhat unusable some days. It can have constant disconnections for a couple of days and then go several days with very few. Rang the ISP some time ago, over the stage of several days we went over the elimination process, new router, phone lead, they put me on a stability profile which essentially drops performance in the hope of a stable connection. None of this worked so they lodged a fault with NBN co.
A subbie for NBN co come over this week, even though my ISP did extensive testing and logs the subbie was not passed on any information from NBN co about the fault. After explaining it to him he ran a bunch of tests from both my wall socket and the box on the side of the house which essentially told him the copper is in good condition. The first two tests my upload failed the NBN minimum speed but the next one passed. He rang NBN co to ask for advice, they could see the constant drop outs and low upload speed looking over the logs but as the last test passed they advised him the job was a "fault not found". I told him that the issue isn't fixed, the drop outs aren't going to fix themselves, so he told me to just lodge a fault again through the ISP the next time it happens. Said next time he might change the pairs, inside the house.
Hours after he left the dropouts occurred again, contacted ISP who have now lodged another fault. Reading up and this isn't an uncommon problem with FTTN however the problem seems to be a nightmare to fix with people reporting NBN Co making over 5 visits to fix the problem which by all accounts seems to be a fault with the port at the node but this is the last thing NBN co look at.
I guess I'm an example of what the experts advised was a failure of a NBN policy this coalition government implemented.
FTTN is a classic case of running a square peg in a round hole. It's akin to expecting CD quality audio from a cassette tape. I've had FTTP for two years and no dropouts yet.
