Yeah...no foxtel cable for me despite it running less than 100m away...so we get foxtel by satellite...FWIW.
Turnbull admitted the max upload speed of his network (FTTN) to be no more than 6mbps....pffft I'll never get that on ADSL1 RIM/pair gain....which is pretty much the infrastructure FTTN is. So they now plan HFC roll out to the node in selected areas....like taking a ferrarri ride for 100klms at 200klms hr then hoping into a VW beetel for the last 10 klms.
Meanwhile the copper network is degrading and needs a major injection. Funny thing about RIMS...all optical fibre back to the exchange and fibre there on ...but last 200m to me by pair gain..so why now extend this fibre to the home? And to rub salt into the wound I started the campaign in out estate to get our RIM upgraded to ADSL back in 2003/4 otherwise I'd still be on dialup!
To coin a line..."no soup for you"!
