Do Australians really?

>>109296689
As was explained in your other yuropoor rent free thread, A) we have backyards bigger than your countries, and B) we have to subsidise the millions of square kilometres that aren't in the middle of cities.
Your yuropoor mind can't understand this, so you'll spam out these "mummy why can't we have 1 million storey skyscrapers?" threads until you go extinct from heatstroke.

You're paying for more bandwidth
>>
>>109296689
When I had ADSL-2 in Sydney I was getting a whopping 20/10Mbps. I think we were paying like $40/m.
Moved to a place that had FTTP and could theoretically get 1000/500, but we were paying $110/m for 100/20.
Funny, now I'm on FTTB/HFC and it's $80/m for 250/100.

You basically end up paying for the infrastructure costs because we have the population of Florda but spread across a landmass as big as the U.S.
Yes it fucking sucks.
>>
>>109297639

If you're living in fucking Alice Springs maybe, but for those of us who don't drink petrol for breakfast we're actually afforded proper fibre backbone.

>>109296705
should be a model with a separate install cost then.
i should be able to dig my own ducting out to whatever bus point and then pay a normal amount to for the fibre draw (fibre costs nothing), termination, and the connection as usual.
as a person who lives out in bumfuck nowhere i would much rather city slickers who cant trench some ducting in by themselves to fuck off back to and stay in the city where you belong and can survive in your natural habitat. thank you very much
subsidising is bullshit argument aussies pay so much because its the second leading country in the world for authoritarian censorship after china. you can't even take a razz mag on a plane border force take it off you. thats what the cost is for, checking you aren't looking at stuff you shouldn't be.
>>
>>109297765
Anon do you have the slightest fucking idea how much inital equipment outlay for running fibre last-mile costs?
>I'll just dig it myself
Good luck getting council approval for that, champ. You're also not going to splice into an existing network infrastructure just because you brought bolt cutters to the FTTN box by the servo.
>>
>>109297817
yes it costs very little.
i have done it all before quite easily for token amount of money for permits, the government have set targets for fibre rollout and the national infrastructure holder is happy to let retards do their work for them as well as they are legally obligated to allow 3rd parties to do work for them where they have no short term plans set.
looking at the cost i can safely say trenching a few miles and then having the network operator pull in and terminate costs significantly less than the overhead that seems to be included for at least a year of service charge in the OP.
i'm sorry your council seems so backwards. everything in aus seems to be that way from what i have seen in this thread so..

more europoors die to heat related deaths than Americans do to gun related. It's actually comical when they speak about anyone.

>>109299297
It's not just "more", but "comically more".
For every one American killed by gunshot, there's five Europeans dead by lack of A/C.
And this is before you consider the fact that the vast majority of death-by-gunshots in America are suicides, even allowing for the never-ending massacre of old farm equipment trying to genocide themselves.

Excellent guess, Kreshkin. Wrong, but excellent.
I avoided it like plague. It was probably an acceptable investment if you already had Foxtel or Optus Vision cable running by your house. In reality though, I knew exactly one person who had Telstra Cable, and I recall that Telstra specifically barred you from running servers of any kind on it (foreshadowing). Everybody else - including me - just used a $40/month ADSL plan.
So, I'm afraid your Liebor propaganda/revisionist history isn't working on me.

If they had just stuck with the original NBN all-fiber buildout they would be able to actually provide the backhaul bandwidth needed for modern speeds.

The NBN was originally modeled on the Verizon FiOS east coast US rollout in the mid 2000s.
>>
>>109310907
Except all of the backhaul is fibre. That isn't the problem.
The problem is that it costs billions of dollars to blanket a country in fibre, and that has to be paid for.
So what happens when you do it in a country with only two taxpayers per square kilometre? You get the NBN, along with its coverage, performance and prices.

You guys have lost touch with reality
The nbn was a reaction to the privatised phone service of the 90s and 2000s where you’d pay 150 a month for 5gb of data

>>
>>109303277

It's because everyone buys the cheapest option since it is good enough, so they have to increase the prices of the lower tiers to help finance the cost of infrastructure.

If the backhaul fiber is actually not a problem, then why the fuck are people on HFC and similar FTTN/C connections getting turbo fucked on speeds during primetime evening hours?

If the backhaul links are all fiber, just upgrade to a higher throughput connection.

NGPON2 is what Verizon (the company the NBN based its GPON network on) has moved to. Others are using XGS-PON, or 25/50GPON, all of which are backwards compatible with existing GPON connections.

Yes it costs money, but the most expensive part is laying the fiber, not upgrading the end nodes.

>australians always end up waxing lyrical about these sorts of acronyms
Anon, I'm american, and all of those acronyms are in use by american ISPs.

XGS-PON is 10gbps PON (passive optical network) for 10/10gbps
GPON is Gigabit PON for 2.4/1.2gbps

NGPON2 is 4 to 8 wavelengths of 10/10gbps each allowing for basic consumer ONTs connecting at up to 10gbps, or more advanced enterprise ONTs connecting at up to 80gbps.

25GPON and 50GPON are 25Gbps PON and 50Gbps PON and are the newest and most likely successor fiber optic networks to the current XGS-PON and GPON networks that primarily exist in the world.


Tldr; stop being retarded.

True, the NBN rollout was a multi-billion dollar circus. But comparing a single Arctic mining town of 2,500 people packed into a 2-mile radius to a massive island continent is peak autism.
