Actually the implementation plan assumed 93% takeup of fibre in ADSL
zones. The business plan assumed a more conservative 70% takeup.

No matter, Tasmania (which has had NBN since the ALP monkeys started
destroying our treasury) has takeup of less than 20%, which is less than
one third of plan. IOW, the Capex invested per customer has blown out by
over 200%!

The immediately discounts the 'value' of the NBN by 2/3. Not that the
*lying* ALP ever intended to float it anyway.

"In Tasmania, for instance, the NBN added only 100 customers during the
past year and take-up rate is still only 18 per cent"
http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/428673/parliamentary_report_nbn_co_should_prioritise_funding_models/

100 customers in a year!!!

You really are a twat, what are you?

"Like other phone companies, AT&T is having a hard time competing with
cable broadband in much of its service area, because regular "DSL"
broadband is now much slower than what cable companies offer."

Yet here in sunny Oz the idiotic Tories want to keep the 50 year old
copper, and pay through the nose for it!

So you still reckon the copper's a going concern, and that we should
dump thousands of big, expensive fucken boxes on footpaths all over the
country, leave them there for 10 or 15 years then scrap them and pay a
fortune to finally get rid of the copper.
Sounds like a good plan, from a brain dead Tory point of view anyway.

I did, and you ignored it and went off on a tangent about HFC.
You do realise that the vast majority of fixed line internet connections
in Australia are copper?
So you reckon the big fucken boxes that can't be upgraded and paying
Telstra for the copper is a good idea?
Just a yes or no will do.

Really?

"The finding comes on the back of an announcement from Telstra that it
will upgrade its mobile network to include support for much faster and
more sophisticated 4G networks.

Telco experts say while the take-up rate of wireless networks will grow
as mobile devices become more popular and replace PCs for some users the
take-up of internet-based home entertainment services will rely on fixed
broadband connections".

Got it - the NBN is useful for downloading porn and video games.
