[AusNOG] NBN Review shows FTTN blowout of 12bn, FTTH blowout of 29bn

[Jake Anderson]

wildly variable is what I hear
somewhere between 200:1 and 2000:1 are the numbers being thrown around 
on whirlpool so take that with as big a grain of salt as you desire.
I believe optus have been attempting to reduce it somewhat by chopping 
up segments and have been throwing some more bandwidth at it with 
bonding (well they say bonding improves bandwidth for the segment, I'm 
not too sure how that works but my understanding of the fundamentals of 
HFC aren't that great).

My home was in the "under construction" band for FTTP, so I still hold 
some vague hope even though I am in a HFC area.

Why oh why could he not have done what politicians are supposed to do, 
blame the last guy for doing a crap job, throw a few sweeteners in then 
get on with doing the exact same damn thing?
Prioritise areas with no broadband, perhaps drop a few nodes in places 
that really sucked as an interim measure, drop nodes in regional towns 
to take some load off the wireless etc.
"stop the waste" and so on and so forth, then get on with the job of 
rolling out an asset, not polishing the copper for a third time.

I am so over all this petty political point scoring.
