Turnbull leaves Australia's broadband blackspots in the dark

Re: Worried about NBN not lack of it

"Fully subscribed your bandwidth will be 80Mb ". while this may seem true, if everyone on the same GPON as you choose 100MB connections and run them at max speed 100% of the time, any area that this happens to will have the 2.5G GPON removed adn a 10G GPON installed. Given this is a switch like box in the exchange upgrading is trivial.

"Cost for access?" Current NBN pricing is less than what I pay. Have you even looked at NBN prices??

"dodgy mobile phone connections" Talk to Telstra/Optus as the NBN is not supposed to fix this issue.

"How about satelite?" Not sure what you are on about here. Satalite users keep their copper connection. Not to mention most satalite users would be too far away from an exchange to have a copper connection.

"Telstra dragging its heels, scares of asbestos stopping all work, across the state" This is typical Telsra. Do you seriously think they will roll over for a FTTN build that NEEDS thier copper network in order to function. The asbestos was real as I have seen some of the pits. So long as the sheets are not broken then there is no issue. but some were broken and this was not discovered until remediation started.

"Telstra are at this point in time UNABLE to process " Telstra issue. Change providers you can do this now that Telstra dont own everything.

"satelite NBN" Using satalite phones you have this issue. This is because of the distance between yourself and the satalites up in space. The technology used in the new NBN statlites actually has a quicker road trip as the switching gear both locally and on the satalite use better algorithms.
