Remember when Abbott and Turnbull won the 2013 election on their mantra of "faster, cheaper, more affordable", the promise was that everybody would have at least 25 Mbps by the end of 2016 (promise well and truly broken), and 90% would have at least 50 Mbps by 2019 (extremely unlikely to be achieved - especially since the current NBN plan is for deployment to be completed by the end of 2020).
The simple fact is that the MTM is not physically capable of achieving these speeds in many cases, it is much more expensive to operate and maintain than fibre, and it isn't actually being deployed any cheaper or significantly faster than the previous FTTP model.

A good Conservative Leader would have apologized for the stupidity of the Rudd Gillard NBN, then pulled the plug on the entire thing, thus saving Billions! The Rudd Gillard NBN was never anything more than a thought bubble and it should never have seen the light of day.
Turnbull, is not a good Conservative Leader, he is nothing more than an Ex-Merchant Banker, the bottom-most dwelling iteration of that most loathsome class of individuals, the Banker.
Proof the Tunbull is unfit to hold office... "Remember when Abbott and Turnbull won the 2013 election on their mantra of "faster, cheaper, more affordable", the promise was that everybody would have at least 25 Mbps by the end of 2016 (promise well and truly broken), and 90% would have at least 50 Mbps by 2019 (extremely unlikely to be achieved - especially since the current NBN plan is for deployment to be completed by the end of 2020)" This was the opportunity to bite the bullet and can the NBN. Sucking up the penalties would have been far cheaper than running with the thought bubble NBN.
The Nation desperately needs someone not tainted by the Political Class to come to office, as to where such an individual may hail, well... certainly not from the ALP and increasingly unlikely from the LNP. The nations Political Class is rotten to the core and desperately needs reform or we may see another NBN type fiasco develop. Our Nation can't afford another NBN, or Pink Batts disaster, we as a Nation requires sound Governance, and we clearly won't find such governance from within our Political Class.
