These micronodes will further speed up the FTTH rollout and save a shitload of money. FTTN is now history, some bad dream we can now forget.

[IQS.RLOW]

Wake up Monk, you are having a bad dream and think that the ALP are still in charge.

[GeorgeH]

No, I know the worst ever govt is ruining things right now. It isn’t me goes round in a drug induced haze.

[Rorschach]

Really?
Gee are you now admitting IT Technology is fast changing and things can become obsolete overnight?


Hell Monk you probably don't even know what a node is.

Got nothin' eh Monk... cant even fess up to the truth eh.
Just revert back to your usual debating style ignore and flood ignore and flood.

That's a helluva good reason not to allow you back here.
Incapable of reasoned debate!

As I have said consistently:

1. Telstra copper is too rotten to provide fast broadband

2. Telstra copper is too thin to provide fast broadband

3. FTTH is not significantly more expensive than FTTN and the extra expense is offset by the vastly superior revenue FTTH can generate. FTTH also boosts jobs, exports and GDP.

Now Malcolm Lord of the Self Serving Reports has commissioned reports that tell him what he wants to hear, but;

4. The Strategic Review—used overseas copper to derive costs and revenues. Unwise—Telstra copper is crap compared to that used overseas.

5. The CBA (gotta love those titles, Strategic Review was shoehorned to show FTTN better but only by cheap tricks, CBA doesn’t even reflect what is happening now, said 15mbps would be OK in 2023. I don’t know what is sufficient in 2015 but I look at all the 4K TVs in the shops and look at what people are signing up to now and know that is bullshit) didn’t look at benefits and made up the costs.

[IQS.RLOW]

All wrong.

[GeorgeH]

All wrong.

As if you would know

[Lucas]

It must be scarey knowing WIFI can handle 288 Megabits

[GeorgeH]

Is it? Why?

[Lucas]

It puts a damper on all the moaning about copper.
