    "...he said nbn™ has collected statistics that tell it which are problem children."

    My guess is a 2 syllable name starting with either 'O' or 'T'.

    Morrow, what a clown.

    Morrow said this happens each time nbn™ adopts a new technology and that with hybrid fibre-coax (HFC) and fibre-to-the-curb (FTTC) builds now accelerating he hopes to learn from the glitch period on other builds to smooth things out this time around.

    If they had stayed with FTTP then there would have been no need to keep changing technologies.

    I am not surprised there are fewer signing up for the top tier because under FTTN most are unable to attain 100mbps. Don't blame people for not subscribing to something that is not attainable due to their and the liberals incompetence.

    Top shot of the "buffering". It say it all really.

      I find 12 Mb/s on FW unattainable and it has nothing whatsoever to do with the Liberals.

      It's actually slightly faster than usual today.

        You're doing better than I (http://beta.speedtest.net/result/6544417274).

        All of Albury shares a single FW tower for everyone who can't get FTTN. So over subscribed and underprovisioned for NBN backhaul that no matter the ISP your connection sucks.

        This is nothing like the next-gen broadband service we were promised by a long shot. Heads need to roll.

          If you think of a way we can implement that without suffering dire consequences, let me know. I'd like to help!

      And in today's Canberra Times the news of more jobs for the boys:

      Malcolm Turnbull's former chief of staff Drew Clarke named to NBN Co board

    What a self serving arrogant clown. He reflects those who appointed him. The business model is as faulty as the preponderance of not fit for purpose technologies. NBN gets guaranteed revenue and the RSPs take all the risk while the customers just suck it up. Does it ever get better even in a ponzi scheme?
