84% on 25Mbps or slower
> Labor started building what would have been a world class NBN
A 1Gbps GPON network is close to world class. Direct fibre is one step better and offers symmetric connections. However Labor expected (see NBNCo Corporate Plan) that <1% would have 1Gbps in 2026, which is definitely not world class. Currently speed tier take up is well below Labor's expectations (FTTP, FTTN, & HFC are all similar).
> so his media mates in Foxtel would not have competition
Netflix recommends 5Mbps for HD streaming and 25Mbps for 4HD streaming. HD is easily serviced over FTTN and 65% of FTTN can sync at 50Mbps or faster (average is 68Mbps)
> Experts tried hard and long to educate Turnbulland have him reverse his 3rd world NBN, and warned anyone who would listen, to no avail.
That would be the experts hoping to be in the 14% with 100Mbps who might actually be impacted by FTTN. Labor's decision to implement speed tiers on the NBN means that 84% don't care because they are choosing 25Mbps or slower and FTTN easily supports that.
Where were the experts when Labor published the NBNCo Corporate Plan with the glaring digital divide that speed tiers would create? Silent because they were to afraid to critique the plan and see the issues exposed. The consequence of this selfishness is FTTN.
