The whole point of the original post was to give the layman a real view of why and what the NBN is.

Myths debunked

Copper does not come close
FTTN will need more HFC or wireless connections and will cost more than FTTH or FTTP
HFC is not a solution as it is already overloaded as it cannot cope with peak loads
Wireless will never beat optical fibre.

It is sad that it has reduced to an argument between uninformed people pushing their own uninformed barrows of ignorance.

I have 30Mbits/1.2Mbits at the moment in the middle of the night! I have Telstra HFC with 200GB limit. At peak times this can slow down to about 5Mbits/sec. So I could not care less for the rest of you.

Anecdotal evidence is just that anecdotal.

Stick to flying 747's Peter as a communications expert you are not very good.
