Concerns over state of wiring for the NBN
Malcolm Turnbull was all smiles at the Faceboat campaign launch for Sailors with disABILITIES at Darling Point on Sunday.
The condition of millions of copper wires the Coalition will rely on to deliver its broadband policy is unknown, and it will take months to uncover how many are functional and how many are beyond use.
Telstra has never revealed how much it spends maintaining the network each year and its own descriptions of the life span range from three to 100 years.
The state of the customer access network, as it is known, directly affects the cost and speed of implementing the proposed fibre-to-the-node network because unusable sections of copper must be repaired or replaced with fibre.
Fault rates have increased in the past seven years from about 13 per cent in 2006-07 to 18 per cent, or 1 million faults, in 2011-12, according to figures published by the communications regulator.
However, a spokesman for the expected incoming communications minister, Malcolm Turnbull, said copper maintenance costs were not cited by any telco in the world as a reason to replace wires with a full fibre network, and the most common cause of faults was accidental digging through phone lines.
''In areas where the [network] is deployed using fibre to the node, the most error-prone parts of the copper - the large bundles running between nodes and exchanges - will be replaced by fibre,'' he said.

Turncoat is either lying or sadly mistaken. The large cable running between nodes and exchanges, practically armored as they are, is the bit that
doesn’t cause much problems. So this largely error–free part of the wiring will be replaced by fibre. The error prone stuff, the copper running from the mythical nodes, with much less protection form mosture, rats etc, the stuff you see in pits flooded after rain, will be left in place. Fucking backwards and retarded or what?
To establish the state of repair of that wiring is going to cost big time. Just ditch the fucking copper, it is rotting and too thin for what Turncoat has been talking about, FTTH is the cheapest by capex and far cheaper by opex!
Note this article fully supports the much more detailed and technical blogs by SteveJ and Sortius, who have real life, first hand experience of Telstra and the copper!

Woo boy, repairing/remediating the copper is going to cost a motza! Will cost a mozza just to correct the database and test the copper.
More trouble with the copper:

Having read his article it is obvious he has neglected the NFI and overly relied on the TLA so subsequently the ratio of NFI to BFD is essentially 1:1.

“We will issue a revised statement of expectations directing NBN Co to provide broadband services with a minimum download data rate of 25 megabits per second by the end of 2016 in all areas of Australia, and 50 megabits per second by the end of 2019 in 90 per cent of the fixed line footprint.”
At best, Fraudband will be UP TO 25mbps. Turncoat still has to negotiate with ACCC and Telstra—nothing will be done till after 2016 I would say. Turncoat also crapped on about mininodes bwahahahaha. Of course, Libs want to clamp down austerity so nothing will be done about broadband at all.
At the best 1.1m premises in the fixed line area will miss out on the “at least” (bwahahaha) 25mbps
When is a guarantee not a guarantee? When it's a Political statement.
The "minimum" guaranteed speed excludes one in seven (13%) premises covered by the Coalition's DSL-FTTN: or 1.1M premises will be "NOT happy, Mal!"

If you can't understand the technical aspects then you shouldn't comment.

I suspected you may have escaped.
No competent psychiatrist would have released you into the community.
