Re: 38% @ 12Mbps and 38% at 25Mbps
Only? :D Your grasp of reality is seriously lacking, if you think 50% is "only" when it took 6 years to get 28% of aussies onto ADSL. 50% is incredibly high, in fact.
"76% of Australians (a figure likely to go higher) has willingly opted for speeds slower than that provided by FTTN, HFC & 4G."
Why shouldn't they have that choice?
You are plainly incorrect, FTTN doesn't guarantee the speeds, it is like ADSL, it is only 'up to' 25 and 50 Mbps. The current HFC network also is not as fast, due to contention it is barely faster than ADSL at prime time. 4G is irrelevant, as that is an expensive and unreliable connection. The figure is also not at all 'likely to go higher', internet usage continues to grow quickly and shows now sign of slowing down
"Heck the average for ADSL2+ is 11Mbps." No, it's more like 5 or 6. No idea where you getting this 11 Mbps idea, I think you might be living in fantasy land. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Internet_connection_speeds
You're just like Turnbull, you argue that because people are on slow speeds now that they will never use faster speeds, despite every piece of advice from digital distribution networks and all historical evidence showing that demand for speed is consistently growing.
