Imagine how many windows of live-streaming HD porn you could have open at once!

93% of Australian households will get speeds of 1gb per second.

I gather I'd be one of those 93%. How does that translate into the download of a LU page? Sounds like almost instantaneous.

Where do you even find it on the net anyway? I've tried, but can't find anything.

I have no idea how fast that is.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I think I only get 50gb per month. So that means I could use it all up in less than 1 minute. That'd be no good.

 

[mickdo]

No but they provided (what was then) high speed ISDN cabling. Kinda like what they are doing now with the NBN. :crazy:

What a dumb idea that was. Who needed a telephone any way, right?

 

[Gronk]

You'll find that most of the (NBN connected) population will be on unlimited bandwidth by 2015.

Like Foxtel, it will be outside your house and there to connnect if you want it.

I heard you only take a minute anyway...

No you wont.

You will find that those who have existing plans will use the internet as they do now. Those on the NBN will pay a hell of a lot more or they will become very aware of their capacity limits and moderate their use accordingly. The NBN plans/limits are prohibitively expensive in comparison to what people have today. Anyone who suggests otherwise is bullshitting.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

So how much will it cost per month to use the nbn?

:lol::lol:

That's where eating McDonalds every day like True Eel will come in very handy.

Maybe True Eel is ahead of his time.

Shut up and eat your porridge.

Oh what utter rubbish. 10 seconds on Google shows that the basic Internode NBN plan is $50/month, which is $10 less than their basic ADSL bundle plan. For the 300G plan it's $30 cheaper a month than the same ADSL plan.

You're the one who's bullshitting. Goes with the territory for NBN haters. You'd probably have us back using tin cans and a f**king piece of string.

sorry - i heard they decided to leave dural out of the nbn ... but its ok you can just drive down to macca's and pennat hills and sit in the car with a laptop :thumn

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I pay $29.95 for 50gb with tpg. It is fast.
I won't need to pay $50 for nbn.

 

[Gronk]

Abbott said on Sky tonight hat he won't allow his party to make individual conscience votes on the gay marriage bill in the new year, notwithstanding the liberal party's tradition of alllowing members to make conscience votes.

And how much does your line rental cost with that plan? No need for line rental with the NBN...

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

Like Foxtel, it will be outside your house and there to connnect if you want it.

I may be wrong but I thought every house would get connected (as in, cabling right down to the house) which is part of the reason why it is so expensive?

What a dumb idea that was. Who needed a telephone any way, right?

Well, we really want mobile technology for our phones, right? Not landlines?

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Yes good point.

I'm considering doing away with the landline.
