When They Tell You The Science Is In, It Never Is

[POWERZONE]

The whole business purpose of the NBN fibre was to roll it out across the country and then privatise it and pay off some government debt... just like last time with Telstra 1/2/3.

 

Underlying the NBN network with bits of fibre and bits of copper seems self defeatist to me.

 

Lighting fast copper sounds great at 8Gbps over 30m or even 5Gbps over 70m but how much does it cost to operate at those speeds over longer lines? The article doesn't say so the argument's inconclusive.

 

Suffice to say fibre has less loss than copper regardless of the originating speed and it's more reliable for me.

 

Personally I don't care how fast my internet is but I do care about its reliability.

 

I've had far more dropouts with copper than with fibre over the years.
