How did it 'fail'? Are people not using it? Or do complaints = failure? In that case every government fails at everything, all the time. Merkins complain.

It has failed to deliver what was promised. Very few punters have recieved what was bargained. This is partly because of the reliance on an antiquated copper network and also IPS who are not being held accountable (to date).

The lesson is to keep government out of the providing business.

Yeah maybe we should have got the Chinese to build our nations most crucial infrastructure project this century.

Oh look, here are the staff at the Australian Signals Directorate reacting to your thought bubble.

There is bugger all signal degradation with Fibre to the Premise (best). Some lucky NBN merkins are getting Fibre to the Kerb (good). Fibre to the Node (bad). Hence why Abbott's $2 shop version of the NBN was always destined to fail. You say that fibre signal degrades ? I'd like to see a link. Below is degradation from the node using copper.

Fibre is speed of light.... They are not running a fibre from point A all the way directly too your house. It is still split at the node and then a seperate fibre is run to your house. While others will use existing cable onto the fibre at node.

The backbone fibre will have so many cores. But there wouldnt be an individual core for each house.

Example there may be perhaps 500 homes with fibre to kerb that at the node share the one fibre back to the telstra equipment.
I have no idea how many . I do know the more that share the slower it would be.

No ... I believe there should be a fibre from my house to every other computer in the world .... otherwise the government has failed me ... merkins!!!

Is this 'fibre' the same thing that is in a box of All Bran?

Except keeping government out of it would include keeping Chinese businesses out. You don’t need to consult for the ASD to know that.

I think that's fair.

Hey @Gronk how much did your VoIP phones cost? Looking on eBay I see one with two handsets is about $350. Seems a bit steep.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

If you go with Telstra you don't need a VoIP phone. The router has a built-in Analog Telephone Adapter.
