It appears the Libs are going to win the election.

The leader of the Liberal party has been quite vocal with his attempt to put forward a viable alternative to the NBN despite some of the NBN infrastructure being already in place. Where are we headed with the NBN? Will Tony Abbott stick to his guns on this issue and implement something else entirely?

APF - a place where serious people don't take themselves too seriously. There's nothing else like it.

It'd be good if he didn't and stuck with the good NBN.

Doubt it though.

I hope you enjoy the box outside your house, some of you.

It is amazing though isn't it, that we have to try and gauge what they'll do, like a detective. We certainly can't take their word for shit. Like cops in one of those rooms with nothing but a steel table and chairs, surrounding the criminal and interrogating them.

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!

A more cost effective system will be introduced.
Common sense is a curse - those who have it need to suffer dealing with those who don't have it.

The real question is whether and when there will be a judicial enquiry concerning the costing and conduct of the initial NBN deployment...

Yep, I'm on ADSL2+ - Or whatever it's called? - 'N where's the problem? ('Course I was on dialup until maybe 14 or 16 months ago - And found that perfectly OK too - Until this other thingie got cheaper.) - So what the fuck ... Maybe I'm just not that fussy?

Option 4's a bit harsh - IMO? ... :re:

It's not fast enough (especially the upload speed) and I'm within 10% of getting the full speed of ADSL2+.
We need full LAN speeds to ensure people can work from home reliably in the near future.
Think of the advantages having a large percentage of workforce not having to travel to an office or the cbd.

Of course the Liberal party will win. Just look at the tv coverage, it's all anti-rudd and pro lib. Does anyone still think these elections are not fixed like a horse race is fixed.

I think that the mistake made is looking at this from an individual users level. People say I have cable and I am fine - but what about the corporations, hospitals and medical facilities. and universities who have a need for large capacity to bring their education, medical procedures, and allow staff at large corporations to work from anywhere. The large employers, the researchers, the drivers of commerce tomorrow.

Now that we have an NBN rollout to so many areas of the country, I think that it will be a mistake to not link the cities to allow the major users to gain the benefits and capacity that other countries provide their major users. Australia is a wealthy country, but we need to get out of the habit of just accepting any old second rate system if we want to push ahead in the 21st century. We have to strive for the best, I certainly don't want second best anymore.

Working from home using adsl is not a barrier. It is Senior Management and CEO's who dont trust staff to do the right thing.

Of course they don't mind you remotely connecting to do unpaid overtime from home, that is how they view it.

I have tried for over 3 years now to get approval for a work from home roster , but the CEO wont approve it.

The current technology is certainly not a barrier here.

Its Management psychology and the Law which will hold this up for at least another decade and a half for the majority of people.

Abbott will slow down the roll out of the NBN for sure.

I'm pretty sure the mainstream media in the US backed Romney, I know the Murdoch press did, but Obummer won.

I just saw Milne on TV, she was talking about reffos, sure it's sad for them, but people are sick and tired of the PC thought police, and the whole idea that the world's problems should be ours too. People are sick to the back teeth of it and want to punish the "left". Yeah, "left", as long as you're some union type mother fucker with 50 ips.

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.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis.
