The average Australian internet speed is only 4.7Mbps. My parents house can only get 1-2mbps and when it rains it disconnects.
Most people aren't as lucky as your friend.
In a side note, did everyone see recently how Turnbulls NBN price of 29 Billion is assuming Telstra give him the copper for free? What a laugh that was. They are going to bend him over for that copper.
Also 44 Billion is not a huge amount of money for something that is going to last us 50 years and beyond. Its the equivalent of about 4-5 months of healthcare for our country.
so, why don't we spend the money improving instances such as your parents. it's be a fucking whole lot cheaper and quicker to implement.
there's no case for 44 billion on faster internet. hell i only get 3.5mbit and i don't know what i'd do with faster internet?

you missed the point as usual. BP said a PREMIUM service is not the governments responsibility.
the existing telecomms infrastructure is perfectly fine. they are duplicating it at HUGE cost to the tax payer with no business case for it.
i'd support them expanding and doing something about area's where adsl speeds are low or non existent. that doesn't cost 40 billion fucking dollars.
a mate of mine is getting the NBN here in perth, he already gets adsl at 18mbit. why the fuck does he need the nbn?????
It's not a huge cost, and people like you are being subsidised with negative gearing, at a HUGE cost to the taxpayer.
stinkbug omosessuale Frank Castle is a liar and a criminal. He will often deliberately take people out of context and use straw man arguments. Frank finally and unintentionally gives it up and admits he got where he is, primarily via dumb luck! See here Property will be 50-70% off by 2016.
if we are already in it a significant amount of $$$ i think it's important to weigh up how much it would cost to finish vs any other alternative. I might have a different opinion if we weren't years into the project and were starting from scratch though.
APF - a place where serious people don't take themselves too seriously. There's nothing else like it.

I honestly believed Rudd might scrape through for the simple reason he appeared to be the better salesman - i can't believe sportsbet have already paid out millions in favor of the coalition though

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
