Yep, I was a moth because I am pretty keen to see the NBN get up in its entirety (or even upgraded) so if Turnbull had come out and said we will implement the NBN in its entirety and perhaps with even better technology but do it cheaper and faster I would have been quite happy and never got involved with this thread at all. Instead he announced a downgrade of the system so it is less effective and long lasting with only (predicted!) small savings and roll-out speed up ...this to me is craaazy. Of course something less powerful will likely be cheaper but it will be less powerful , to make an announcement that you will be making something very inferior so it is (perhaps) a little cheaper and (perhaps) delivered slightly faster shows no vision - simple.
