Comment on NBN sheds jobs as 'death spiral' worsens
No1@aussie.zone 7 months agoThat’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.

With cloud services pushing their online file storage, remote workers loading and saving files to company systems and video conferencing, the use cases for upload speed are more common than they’ve ever been. NBN Co have decided to class it as a business feature and price it accordingly.
