Why did Australia NBN fail
>>109096244Unironically boomer politicians took massive payouts to make sure the internet was slower lolAustralia is Africa tier
>>109096244Every single person who works for a major corporation is a failure.Losing together as a collective is an embarrassment.Even with a hundred thousand times the workforce and power of hobby project developers who run solo, the corporation still loses. Their disgusting monopolistic theft of money has destroyed what used to be a beautiful world. As it is only through theft of free content that disgusting corporations proliferate themselves, that free content has dried up.Unfortunately the evil of Google lives on in it's endless swarm of imported workers who know no morality.If I was working for Google I would retire out of moral princible but now I have another reason and that is embarrassment. I would not be able to stand the embarrassment of existing inside a corporation that gates fantastic hobby projects in favor of it's corporate sponsors.The punishment for this theft of original content has long gone unpunished.
>>109096244it didn't fail in the end, but it was massively overpriced because of the liberal government fucking up the rollout
>>109096495no its still failing right nowthe fiber they laid out is a joke too
>>109096244abbott fucked it up by switching it to FTTN since every liberal government fucks up EVERYTHINGand before some lnp zog bot comes in and calls me a leftoid it's the LNP's fault guns are banned, same sex marriage is legalised, and why we're becoming a nation of third world immigrants
>>109096244because of the conservatives and lobbying from private interests. That's it, that's the tweet
>>109096244NBN happened because the old telco monopoly that morphed into privatised Telstra painted the Rudd Government into a corner with their attempts to stifle competition. Hence the NBN was born to bypass the monopolists at Telstra. It was high risk though with 5G on its way and LEO satellite replacing Geostationary..New technology like 5G has killed NBN before it could even pay for itself
>>109097729>New technology like 5G has killed NBNwdym? nbn and 5g are complimentary, and nbn is essential for anything that needs low latency
because the infrastructure (pits and conduit) they tried to replace was secretly made of asbestos, and dealing with it properly is expensive.also, it was meant to turn a profit, and not be written off as an infrastructure investment, so was more expensive than a little bit of extra data on 5g. this meant it didn't get critical mass
>>109097777wasn't the plan to sell the nbn off as well?
>>109096627my favourite was when some of the copper lines were bad they replaced them with new copper instead of just fibre
The NBN was originally modeled on the US ISP Verizon FiOS's GPON fiber rollout.When they killed the FTTN requirment they abandonded the Verizon layout.So today Verizon has NGPON2 and 2500mbps service, while the NBN is lucky to see more than 300mbps on a friday evening no matter what speed you pay for.
>>109097775Yes, but the 5g towers have uncontested backhaul that plebs don't have access to.
I had fttp at a rental I was staying in for a few months and I would get like 5ms ping to sydney game servers from queensland while using wifi it was crazy. now im back on hfc and its so bad
>>109097841>uncontested backhauli don't know what this means
>>109098164Because you're a pleb. Thanks for outing yourself.:^)
>>109097815That's fucking funny if true, the company who owns the majority of the copper lines over here would have ripped them all out by now if it wasn't illegal to do so.
lots of stuff couldve happened, outdated software, broken towers, or bankruptcy
>>109096244Nigger-tier corps and politicians. That's it. Labor was on-track to rocket us into the 20th century of internet speeds (wow guys more than 10Mbps!) and the Libs fought back hard because of corporate infrasturcture backlash and budget concerns. So they got it stalled long enough to end up back in power and decimated the actual rollout so that what we ended up with was 10% of the payoff for 80% of the investment.First-wave fibre was exclusively Fibre To The Node (FTTN) which basically ran backbone fibre through neighbourhoods then used the existing copper from the node (normally in the street) to your house. So throughput to the area network was better but houses were still capped at copper speeds. Liberals claimed running fibre to every house was too expensive.If you were lucky enough to be too far from a node, you were offered FTT Premises, which is what the whole FUCKING POINT was in the first place, except they expected you to foot the bill which was anywhere from $5000-$20000 depending on how far from the node you were. Even if you paid it, they were so fucking slow in actually getting the work done that you were normally waiting months anyway.So, a decade on, the current government is finally trying to establish more consistent FTTP availablity, which means we MIGHT get what we were originally promised. But we still have the FUCKING ISSUE of our speeds being soft-capped around 300-500Mbps in most cases because our backbone infrastuctre is still shit.
>>109096244>failI'm on gigabit right now, seems fine to me.
