Comment on NBN sheds jobs as 'death spiral' worsens
zurohki@aussie.zone 7 months agoThey also overdid it, nobody wants to buy an NBN that’s mostly copper. The way business would run it more efficiently is by just turning off and abandoning areas that need repairs.

That’s exactly why Telstra sold their copper network to the NBN in the first place. And Foxtel selling their HFC.
Never forgive LNP and in particular Turnbull for creating a scheme to pay out for old, inferior networks.

@No1 I don't believe any such 'death spiral' exists. Starlink is a last resort due to cost and latency. It's better than a broken cabled feed. 5G suffers from limited area availability and time slice contention when more users are added, as is the case with all wireless systems.
NBN FTTH is an unbeatable value and a total performance beast. @zurohki

Sure, as long as you don’t need upload speed. That’s apparently a premium business-class feature.

@zurohki You can get 1000/400 if you really need it. Speed costs money, typically $9.00/day (Launtel). The use case for more than 50Mbps upload is limited.
