Option #5, Phoneline. Who still has phonelines? Isn't this last-century technology.

Pretty much everyone still has phone lines. I can't think of anyone I know who doesn't have a home phone
on copper lines.

I read somewhere in the context of Telstra's financial
results, that a large percentage of Australians (early
adopters) had *no* *fixed* *line* phone service - they had
gone completely mobile.

And probably an even larger percentage does have a fixed line.

Early adopters set the trend. Early adopters are going fully wireless.

There will still be plenty of people who don't want wireless, regardless of trends.

ROTFL. They already have fixed line. Copper.

ROTFL. Much of the copper is crap,

Thats a lie, hardly any of the copper is crap.

Not a lie, an opinion.

Its a lie because you dont have a shred of evidence to substantiate that opinion.

It's not a lie because I believe it to be true,

That doesnt stop it being a lie, particularly when the lie is spewed
by someone else and you are stupid enough to buy that lie.

Your lack of understanding of the meaning of "lie" is beyond belief.

We'll see...

I wasn't even aware of the claim being spewed by someone else,

Another lie.
Another unsubstantiated statement.

so I couldn't have bought it.

Another lie.
Another unsubstantiated statement.

and you haven't provided any evidence to the contrary.

Another lie. The evidence to the contrary is the huge numbers who have a viable adsl service.

And what about those who haven't?

Doesnt qualify as MUCH OF THE COPPER, liar.
And of course you snipped my comment where I changed my opinion from
"much of the copper" to "some of the copper", moron.

I didn't say anything about huge numbers.

You clearly did say MUCH OF THE COPPER, liar.
And I changed it later, idiot.

OK, some of the copper connections are crap, and copper won't last forever.

Nothing lasts forever. The copper will last well enough.

and it won't support high enough speeds for many people.

And that is a bare faced lie. Most dont even pay for the highest speed available on the copper.

Again not a lie.

Corse its a lie.

Of course it's not.

Wota stunning line in rational argument you have there, child.

Where's the rationality in your arguments?

The evidence that huge numbers have a viable adsl service proves that much of the copper is not crap, liar.
And again, you're ignoring my update.

Many people DO want more than 24 Mbps.

You dont have a shred of evidence to substantiate that claim either.

And you haven't supplied any to the contrary.

Dont need to.

YOU ran that stupid claim.

YOU get to substantiate that stupid claim.

THATS how it works.

Nope.

Yep.

You called me a liar. You get to substantiate that claim.

You never ever could bullshit and lie your way out of a wet paper bag.

That's how it should work.

Only in your pathetic little pathological liar fantasyland.

Certainly some do, most obviously those who are stupid enough to want to download DVDs and blue rays in seconds,
but what matters is whether it makes any sense what so ever to be spending $50B to get that capability.

Yes, but that's not what I was arguing.

You werent 'arguing' a damned thing, just lying.

There you go again. Calling me a liar without backing it up,

The crap you spewed is the evidence that you are a liar.

and apparently not recognizing what an argument is.

You're so stupid you cant even work out the difference between an argument and a claim.
No point in trying to argue further with an idiot like you who quotes
selectively.

That's all I said. Your statement ("most...) doesn't contradict mine.

Another lie.
No point in trying to argue further with an idiot like you who doesn't
understand logic.

Apparently you don't understand English and/or logic.

You never ever could bullshit and lie your way out of a wet paper bag.

Our two statements:

"it won't support high enough speeds for many people"

and

"Most dont even pay for the highest speed available on the copper"

are not contradictory.

Another lie.
Again, No point in trying to argue further with an idiot like you who
doesn't understand logic.

Your lack of understanding is amazing.

Your pathetic exuse for bullshit and lies is nothing like that, just pathetic.

Please explain how those statements are contradictory.

It would be more profitable to try to explain it to a stone, liar.
You or a stone. Not much difference.

"Many" doesn't mean "most", you know.

No one ever said it did, liar.

Both can be true.

Another lie.
Another idiotic statement.

Please provide some evidence for that claim.

Everyone can see for themselves that its another lie.
You don't get to speak for everyone. That's how it works.

Higher speeds than that have been available on the cable system for quite
a while now and fuck all have actually been stupid enough to sign up for that.

That proves that sweet fuck all want those higher speeds, you silly little pathological liar.

And those who cant get a viable adsl service are almost entirely NOT due to CRAPPY COPPER, they are just too far from
the exchange, you silly little pathological liar.

Many people DO want more than 24 Mbps.

You dont have a shred of evidence to substantiate that claim either.

And you haven't supplied any to the contrary.

Dont need to.

YOU ran that stupid claim.

YOU get to substantiate that stupid claim.

THATS how it works.

Nope.

Yep.

You called me a liar. You get to substantiate that claim.

You never ever could bullshit and lie your way out of a wet paper bag.

That's how it should work.

Only in your pathetic little pathological liar fantasyland.

Certainly some do, most obviously those who are stupid enough
to want to download DVDs and blue rays in seconds, but what
matters is whether it makes any sense what so ever to be
spending $50B to get that capability.

Yes, but that's not what I was arguing.

You werent 'arguing' a damned thing, just lying.

There you go again. Calling me a liar without backing it up,

The crap you spewed is the evidence that you are a liar.

and apparently not recognizing what an argument is.

You're so stupid you cant even work out the difference between an argument and a claim.

No point in trying to argue further with an idiot like you who quotes selectively.

EVERYTHING you have said has been quoted in its entirety, you silly little pathological liar.

Yes, even you quoted it in your earlier posts, then it miraculously disappeared from your later posts.

Everyone can see for themselves that you are lying, as always.

That's all I said. Your statement ("most...) doesn't contradict mine.

Another lie.

No point in trying to argue further with an idiot like you who doesn't understand logic.

You never ever could bullshit and lie your way out of a wet paper bag.

Apparently you don't understand English and/or logic.

You never ever could bullshit and lie your way out of a wet paper bag.

Our two statements:

"it won't support high enough speeds for many people"

and

"Most dont even pay for the highest speed available on the copper"

are not contradictory.

Another lie.

Again, No point in trying to argue further with an idiot like you who doesn't understand logic.

Again, you never ever could bullshit and lie your way out of a wet paper bag.

Your lack of understanding is amazing.

Your pathetic exuse for bullshit and lies is nothing like that, just pathetic.

Please explain how those statements are contradictory.

It would be more profitable to try to explain it to a stone, liar.

You or a stone. Not much difference.

You never ever could bullshit and lie your way out of a wet paper bag.

You certainly can't.

Any 2 year old could leave that for dead, you silly little pathological liar.

"Many" doesn't mean "most", you know.

No one ever said it did, liar.

Both can be true.

Another lie.

Another idiotic statement.

You never ever could bullshit and lie your way out of a wet paper bag.

Please provide some evidence for that claim.

Everyone can see for themselves that its another lie.

You don't get to speak for everyone.

Never ever said anything even remotely resembling anything like that, you silly little pathological liar.

LOL.

Village eejut immitations cut no mustard around here, you silly little pathological liar.

So what does you previous statement mean?

Its a statement of fact, you silly little pathological liar.


Prove it. Have you asked everyone, to substantiate that claim?

Agree.

The download (and some times even uploads are included in the quota)
limits and the steep rise in prices per GB
to get more reasonable limts make a lot of the higher speed plans a
joke in GB / $ value.

You end up with an analogy like this


You can have the choice of the use of a used Commodore that you can
drive as much and as fast (within legal limits) as you like
You can have the choice of the use of a Ferrari with a limit of 100km
distance a month after which its 40km/ hr speed limited.


Unless you only drive to the shops once a week, (and maybe to church
on Sunday) and never aspire to going any further afield
than you are going to go with the Commodore deal.

This is my view on the broadband situation in this country.

Finally, dumping the huge $ amounts quoted into this NBN plan can only
make this
situation worse, and drive costs higher and value for money lower. If
Telstra is involved except as one of many competitive players on an
even field - you can guarantee it.

Nothing wrong with copper lines.

Wrong, not down the streets they dont with fibre.

Even Coax or Cat5/6 uses copper conductors.

And fibre doesnt.


ADSL 2 can go more than fast enough for the majority of people

Depends on whether you want to get DVDs and blue rays in seconds or not.

Depends on whether people actually need that compared to the huge cost
involved to the nation that will probably take forever to pay back
with interest.
(and ultimately paid by everyone via higher taxes / massive access
fees / reduced gov. services in other areas or a bit of both.).

No need to download DVD video any faster than you can watch it. They
probably will use crap "streaming" methods anyway.
You couldn't even save the data size (4.3GB) of a typical DVD to a
hard drive in less than a few minutes regardless.
I don't know how long it would even take to buffer it to RAM on a
typical home PC - assuming you had enough spare.


If they want more speed than that they can pay for a second or
3rd line & ADSL connection to double/triple their speed as needed.

Not practical compared with fibre.

The savings by using something that is already there would be enormous.

Yes, but the speed is much lower than with fibre.
True, but the cost would be massive for existing customers if they
didn't need it.
For new installations and developments - I think that then it is
practical to go with
fibre from the start. Existing copper services can be upgraded as
maintenance and renewal
/ replacement of unserviceable existing architecture / when there is
sufficient demand in the area in question.


For areas that are too far from an exchange to
get ADSL, why not run a fibre link (or similar)
from exchange to the cable pits in question to provide
a local ADSL hub that is close enough to the subscribers

Thats what RIMs and CMUXes do.

or maybe use repeaters if there are not enough
lines in an area (rural) in question to justify fibre.

Its very arguable that that is viable.

Remote areas can use satellite or wireless

Even suburban areas use wireless right now.

- wireless shouldn't be a problem in remote areas as there isn't
much radio traffic to congest the band compared to the city.

The problem is that that approach doesnt work for the longer distances.
Satellite ? Or if there isn't an existing connection - use fibre.

Would cost a hell of a lot less than some of the silliness being talked about.

Yes, the NBN is certainly by far the most expensive approach.
At the end of the day, we don't have a choice. We will simply be stuck
with the bill

Depends on whether you want to get DVDs and bluerays in seconds or not.

Depends on whether people actually need that
Corse they dont, they can always drive to the rental operation.

Or realise that there is no point in getting what will take an hour or more to watch
in seconds, you might as well just start watching it while its still downloading instead.

compared to the huge cost involved to the nation that
will probably take forever to pay back with interest.
(and ultimately paid by everyone via higher taxes / massive access
fees / reduced gov. services in other areas or a bit of both.).
That wouldnt be the case if part of what was obtained by flogging off Telstra was used to build it.

No need to download DVD video any faster than you can watch it.
Correct.

They probably will use crap "streaming" methods anyway.
It wont be crap and they already dont.

You couldn't even save the data size (4.3GB) of a typical
DVD to a hard drive in less than a few minutes regardless.
Correct.

I don't know how long it would even take to buffer it to RAM
on a typical home PC - assuming you had enough spare.
The short story is that there isnt any need for 1Gb for that.

The 8Mb that ADSL1 can do is fine to0, even 1.5Mb
is fine for downloading and watching simultaneously
tho not for blueray content.

Does it really make any sense to be spending anything like
$50B just to avoid driving to the rental operation for bluerays ?

If they want more speed than that they can pay for a second or
3rd line & ADSL connection to double/triple their speed as needed.

It isnt really with so much development happening in the existing suburbs with
individual houses being demolished and replaced with blocks of units etc.

Existing copper services can be upgraded as maintenance
and renewal / replacement of unserviceable existing architecture
/ when there is sufficient demand in the area in question.
It isnt really practical compared with replacing the copper with fibre suburb by suburb etc.

Corse doing that costs an immense amount of money and
its very arguable indeed if that makes any sense at all
compared with say spending that money on hospitals etc.

For areas that are too far from an exchange to

Its never going to be economic to do long runs of fibre to individual propertys etc.

Would cost a hell of a lot less than some of the silliness being talked about.

Yes, the NBN is certainly by far the most expensive approach.

At the end of the day, we don't have a choice.
Corse we have a choice, most obviously with spending

We will simply be stuck with the bill once more while ignorant/corrupted public
servants make a typically poor decision on our behalf and at our expense.
Its not public servants that get to decide a damned thing, it was some stupid
politician called Rudd that was stupid enough to go the NBN route when he
discovered that he couldnt monster Telstra into building the FTTN system.

Same with the carbon pollution bullshit
That hasnt got a damned thing to do with public servants either.

And now that Labor has got the bums rush at the ballot box, we wont be seeing any tax on carbon, you watch.

who have a viable adsl service.

I didnt snip a damned thing, you silly little pathological liar.

Well then, my comments must have accidentally disappeared from your
quoted material,

Everyone can see for themselves that none of your comments have

Oh can they?
Yep.

This link provides the evidence to back up my claim:
Everyone can see that that proves what I said, you silly little pathological liar.

despite the fact that you previously replied twice to my posts,
leaving my updated comment in.

Everyone can see for themselves that there was no updated comment of
yours, you silly little pathological liar.

The above link proves that there was.

well, you silly little pathological liar.

Everyone can see for themselves that you are lying, as always.

No, anyone can see that you are lying, by checking a Usenet archive,

I have.

OK, some of the copper connections are crap, and copper
won't last forever.

Nothing lasts forever. The copper will last well enough.

and it won't support high enough speeds for many people.

And that is a bare faced lie. Most dont even pay for the
highest speed available on the copper.

Again not a lie.

Corse its a lie.

Of course it's not.

Wota stunning line in rational argument you have there, child.

Where's the rationality in your arguments?

The evidence that huge numbers have a viable adsl service proves
that much of the copper is not crap, liar.

The problem with that is that the independent ADSL2 is only available on
exchanges in the cities and larger towns. Where I live, TPG only retails
Telstra's ADSL1 at a much higher price than TPG's own ADSL2 and with
much lower download limits. The only way to get ADSL2 around here is to
go with Telstra with lower download limits.

The higher volume TPG plans are a lot better than that.

This is my view on the broadband situation in this country.

Its a pretty distorted view. The TPG ADSL2+ plans are nothing like
a drive to the shops once a week and maybe to church on sunday.

Finally, dumping the huge $ amounts quoted into this NBN plan can
only make this situation worse, and drive costs higher and value for
money lower.

Depends on how its paid for. If part of what was obtained by flogging
off Telstra was used to pay for it, it would be perfectly possible to
charge say $50/month total and provide say a 180GB limit per month.

Corse its very arguable that that is the best use of $50B instead of say hospitals etc.

If Telstra is involved except as one of many competitive
players on an even field - you can guarantee it.

No you cant, particularly if the NBN was paid for using part of what
was obtained by flogging off Telstra.

Corse its all up in the air now if the coalition jumps into bed with
the independants and dumps the NBN.

The problem with that is that the independent ADSL2 is only available on exchanges in the cities and larger towns.
That is however where the vast bulk of consumers are.

Where I live, TPG only retails Telstra's ADSL1 at a much higher price than TPG's own ADSL2 and with much lower
download limits.
Yes, Telstra should have been forced to resell ADSL2.

The only way to get ADSL2 around here is to go with Telstra with lower download limits.
Yes, but most dont download anything like those higher TPG ADSL2+ download limits.

And it doesnt make any sense to be spending anything like $50B to fix that downside
with places outside the citys and larger towns, it would cost a hell of a lot less to force
Telstra to resell the ADSL2+ thats already installed in those other exchanges, and to
add more ADSL2+ for the higher takeup of ADSL2+ that would result in fixing that.

And spend a hell of a lot less than anything like $50B on decent wireless for those
who cant get a decent ADSL2+ service even if Telstra was forced to resell it etc.

ROTFL. Much of the copper is crap, and it won't support high enough speeds for many people.
Nothing wrong with copper lines.
They do limit the maximum speed with street distances.
No matter what grand plan they propose, its going to involve copper line at some point.
Wrong, not down the streets they dont with fibre.
Even Coax or Cat5/6 uses copper conductors.
And fibre doesnt.
ADSL 2 can go more than fast enough for the majority of people
Depends on whether you want to get DVDs and bluerays in seconds or not..
Depends on whether people actually need that

Corse they dont, they can always drive to the rental operation.

Or realise that there is no point in getting what will take an hour or more to watch
in seconds, you might as well just start watching it while its still downloading instead.

compared to the huge cost involved to the nation that
will probably take forever to pay back with interest.
(and ultimately paid by everyone via higher taxes / massive access
fees / reduced gov. services in other areas or a bit of both.).

That wouldnt be the case if part of what was obtained by flogging off Telstra was used to build it.

No need to download DVD video any faster than you can watch it.

Correct.

They probably will use crap "streaming" methods anyway.

It wont be crap and they already dont.

You couldn't even save the data size (4.3GB) of a typical
DVD to a hard drive in less than a few minutes regardless.

Correct.

I don't know how long it would even take to buffer it to RAM
on a typical home PC - assuming you had enough spare.

The short story is that there isnt any need for 1Gb for that.

The 8Mb that ADSL1 can do is fine to0, even 1.5Mb
is fine for downloading and watching simultaneously
tho not for blueray content.
That is true. I would be quite happy if it was practical to get 1.5Mb
where I am without high cost and ridiculously small download limits.
It would allow for things like use of internet at a better
speed while being on a VOIP phone call, the use of skype video
calling etc for example.


Does it really make any sense to be spending anything like
$50B just to avoid driving to the rental operation for bluerays ?
Not at all. Even if it takes a few hours to download a DVD size
content
its more practical than dumping that much money into this scheme.
Alternatives would be to find a VCD quality or similar file (much
smaller - faster)
for download.

It's probably a lot more feasible for a lot of people to wait or get
a lower sized download
than the hassle of driving to the video store, time spent parking,
going in, finding the vid, paying,
driving home etc, then doing it again to return it (if a rental).


If they want more speed than that they can pay for a second or
3rd line & ADSL connection to double/triple their speed as needed.
Not practical compared with fibre.
The savings by using something that is already there would be enormous.
Yes, but the speed is much lower than with fibre.
True, but the cost would be massive for existing customers if they didn't need it.

That wouldnt be the case if part of what was obtained by flogging off Telstra was used to build it.

For new installations and developments - I think
that then it is practical to go with fibre from the start.

It isnt really with so much development happening in the existing suburbs with
individual houses being demolished and replaced with blocks of units etc.

That has been happening in parts of where I live

In that case the telephone system in that area (most likely copper) is
not going to cope with the extra connections,
and would need an upgrade to cope with the extra population density
from these developments.
When you are looking at major works for this that is the time to start
upgrading the area of the works to fibre service.

If you have to lay from scratch or do a major upgrade to lines,
its probably not going to be a huge difference in cost of laying
copper cable or laying fibre ?

Would probably need a lot of work in that sort of growing area with
upgrades to electrical services, water,
sewerage, gas etc.


Existing copper services can be upgraded as maintenance
and renewal / replacement of unserviceable existing architecture
/ when there is sufficient demand in the area in question.

It isnt really practical compared with replacing the copper with fibre suburb by suburb etc.

Could prioritize suburbs that are due for upgrades, ageing
infrastructure,
have lots of development happening (see above), or ones
with high rates of ADSL usage that would very likely use these
new faster services compared to areas where there were groups that
didnt use much
internet, or only cheap, slow plans who aren't likely to change for
cost reasons.
(ie: pensioners, low income areas etc)


Corse doing that costs an immense amount of money and
its very arguable indeed if that makes any sense at all
compared with say spending that money on hospitals etc.
That is true. There are plenty of other public services that need
funds.


As I see it, getting as many across Australia as possible up to at
least a reasonably priced
ADSL 1 / 2 standard should be what we need to look at.


For areas that are too far from an exchange to
get ADSL, why not run a fibre link (or similar)
from exchange to the cable pits in question to provide
a local ADSL hub that is close enough to the subscribers
Thats what RIMs and CMUXes do.
or maybe use repeaters if there are not enough
lines in an area (rural) in question to justify fibre.
Its very arguable that that is viable.
Remote areas can use satellite or wireless
Even suburban areas use wireless right now.
- wireless shouldn't be a problem in remote areas as there isn't
much radio traffic to congest the band compared to the city.
The problem is that that approach doesnt work for the longer distances..
Satellite ?

You dont get anything like the thruput that way.

Or if there isn't an existing connection - use fibre.

Its never going to be economic to do long runs of fibre to individual propertys etc.
Would BPL (power line broadband) work in rural areas ?
Relatively few users per sq KM, therefore not much clutter or overload
of the bandwidth ?,
Not as many issues with possible radio interference compared to using
it in an urban area ?,
Gives coverage over a wide area without needing any extra cabling ?
Works from any power socket ?
Fast enough ?
AFAIK a majority of rural properties have mains electricity, though
probably a lot of SWER
systems - do they work with BPL ?

Ones that were very isolated would have to use satellite. Don't see
much other option.


Would cost a hell of a lot less than some of the silliness being talked about.
Yes, the NBN is certainly by far the most expensive approach.
At the end of the day, we don't have a choice.

Corse we have a choice, most obviously with spending
part of what was obtained by flogging off Telstra.

We will simply be stuck with the bill once more while ignorant/corrupted public
servants make a typically poor decision on our behalf and at our expense.

Its not public servants that get to decide a damned thing, it was some stupid
politician called Rudd that was stupid enough to go the NBN route when he
discovered that he couldnt monster Telstra into building the FTTN system.
True. He is gone but his legacy lives on.


Same with the carbon pollution bullshit

That hasnt got a damned thing to do with public servants either.

And now that Labor has got the bums rush at the ballot box, we wont be seeing any tax on carbon, you watch.
I hope to god you are right on that one.
