Quantum computers are the next big thing—to communicate they need an excellent waveguide. Optical fibre is an excellent waveguide. Telstra copper?

I agree that Quantum computers will be a big thing but will not be the next big thing. They are a decade or so away. When we can get it to work as dreamed, we will have computing power beyond our current understanding. Programming them will be a challenge... so we are a long way away. With AI progressing slowly, any breakthrough there combined with QC will usher in a new form of intelligence. When it can self replicate... we will have contributed a new form of life to the universe... just life not as we know it Jim.
However, quantum effects to aid communication speeds over great distances need special conditions and yes I think it would need fibre links between the nodes and they is a long way away, beyond the life of NBN in any of it's current forms. It will be restricted to datacentres and major communication nodes. It will not be used (probably could not be used) to the home. Some effects could be usde for cryptography rather than to accelerate communication speed... maybe.

Quantum computing about a decade away.

That's what I said.
Doesn't mean they will do with it what you have stated for comms. Quantum computing is different to using quantum effects to accelerate communications. Just because the word "Quantum" is in their descriptions does not mean they are using the same quantum level effects.

All I said was: to communicate QCs need a really good waveguide. Not rotten, thin Telstra copper, not interference prone wireless.
We need a C21 communication system. The only one that presents itself is Optical Fibre to the Premise. #Fraudband is a sad joke.

OK.
What you call Fraudband is not a sad joke. It is implementing something is a cost effective manner and will delivery benefits to many.
As the technological developments occur, further investments can be targeted for maximum return on investment. Using QC for comms is so far away (50 years or more) that your argument is invalid. yes it would need a wave guide but not in your lifetime.

Monk can't even say what people at home would use Gb/s downloads for.
Has he managed to find a use for quantum computers and FTTH built into the old Fisher & Paykel fridge or dishwasher?
Bwhahahahahahahaha

Short Dick showing a complete lack of understanding of broadband. Guess his claim to a B.Eng. really is bogus.

Again you show you can not debate this topic on any level.
Again....

SN, really, #Fraudband (which is what the Libs called Rudd’s idea when he was still proposing FTTN, before the tender process and the Panel of Experts handed down their finding) is going to struggle to deliver up to 25mbps. Really. The copper is rotten and getting worse and is too thin, at 0.32 and 0.4mm, to offer the low impedance higher speeds demand.

I have been trying to debate this on the actual physics, actual state of copper. If Short Dick sticks his oar in to make an insult he will get one back.
