Radio amateurs fret over G.fast interference

Good Riddens

Personally think this kind of technology is hear to stay, and going by the quite frankly disgraceful response, from "Ham People" not on here but from other sites, mind, I will be glad to see them go. See most have a superiority complex in that they believe that there hobby is more important than the majority.

Average response is why don't you have Cat5/6? well guess what not everyone can afford a few thousand to have there house routed (and doing it urself looks rubbish unless inside the walls).

Also wireless is crap if ur concern is latency which is pretty much everyone but the most modest of users. So sometimes even wireless doesn't provide a solution (e.g. thick walls long distances).

Finally asking technology to slow down (and leave a space) for a quite frankly ancient technology is absurd. Yes you might have a "new" ham radio, but guess what that technology is ancient and dead and always will be.

More importantly than anything else by wanting these types of product dead, your effectively saying even though i live on a street of 20 houses my house is the important one and i should take priority (even though there may be 5 of those houses using the technology).

Put it simply if your using a Ham Radio you need to head back to the 1970's.
