"It's like grandfather's axe; It's had five new handles and three new 
heads. When it breaks, we replace the broken bit. So it's much the same as 
it always has been and always will be," Mr Lee said.

I am sure glad that my DSL dropouts and bad connect speeds during heavy 
rain will be speedily fixed by Telstra. It is also good to hear that the 
copper network just needs a bit of a 'polish' to bring it up to world 
standards and we will be getting multiple MBit upload DSL speeds when they 
adjust it just a little bit. We are sure the clever country.

Just my personal opinion.
