Re: Chance would be a fine thing

Fraud was Labor promising 1Gbps FTTP just prior to the 2010 election without mentioning that they expected less than 1% to be connected at that speed in 2026. Labor's predictions in the NBNCo Corporate Plan on take-up of the speeds tiers has proven to be optimistic with the exception of 25Mbps plan. If Telstra had offered at 12Mbps plan, then it is likely that for all speeds except 12Mbps take-up would have been lower than forecast by Labor.

The IT community should share significant culpibility for not calling Labor out on the inevitable result of building an NBN with speed tiers. Instead most were blinded by the shiny fibre, like a 2 year old can be distracted by a lolly.
