I didn't actually mean for this to be about an ideological debate about the two major parties in Australia. My main interest was the rollout issues where people are being missed.

As a matter of interest most people appear to be assuming the drop in speeds attainable is with node technology and copper line. However, as I understand it, the main problem with slow downs at peak times relates almost entirely to backhaul. Providers are supposed to buy enough backhaul to allow for the peak times. Without enough backhaul there becomes a bottle neck and that causes slow downs. Most providers are not buying enough backhaul and therefore cannot deliver on their promises. You can read all about backhaul and its effects on Whirlpool forums and on the NBN site.
