<div>I heard Malcolm Turnbull giving an answer on Lateline last

10mb/s-to-the-home would be an improvement, IMO.<br>
10mb/s-to-the-home-and-doesn't-drop-out-every-time-it-rains would

Make it 10 Mbps-symmetric and I'd agree wih you. Figuring out he
technology mix to deliver 10 Mbps upstream is not trivial.<br>
<br>
Turnbull et al claim that the DOCSIS3 deployments on Optus and
Telstra HFC cables are already delivering 100 Mbps to the home, and
so are delivering NBN-compatible services already past 2.something
million homes. Again, they ignore the upstream - the 100Mbps HFC
cable services are 100/2 - only 1.5 to 2 Mbps upstream, not 40 Mbps
upstream that the NBN fibre 100/40 product delivers, and HFC is also
not QoS-enabled or IPv6-enabled either - or available wholesale.<br>
