I would rather not spend the $30b the liberals are for literally the same speeds we have now for the majority of users. I mean why would you spend that ludicrous amount of money for maybe double the speeds? Where do you think this world is heading in the next 50 years in terms of how we work, live & interact? Your mum is not our next generation and should not be the reason we don't build this, it is your kids that you should be concerned about and their kids. I would of been much happier if no NBN happened under the new government as the money could of been used more wisely elsewhere. You either do it right or don't attempt to do it at all.

Do you really believe that fibre offers a silver bullet, zero down-time, crackle free, drop out free, 100% perfect outcome?

Where on Earth does this preposterous suggestion come from?

The undisputed truth of the matter is that the (copper based) PSTN network in Australia has been super reliable for decades. Personally I'm in my 50's and cannot remember (possibly due to age) the last time my dial tone failed!

By contrast my VoIP service crackles, fails in all manner if ways, never actually rings but sounds liked it's ringing and otherwise offers no competition if the test is going to be based solely on 'availability'.

So could you PLEASE help my old Mum understand why she needs a tradie to attend her home to pull cables, then figure out which VoIP handset to buy, then which RSP to choose, then accept that it has wrinkles that's she's never previously conceived ... just because the ALP continues to assert that it's imperative that we spend billions on getting rid of something my old Mum is 100% happy with!!

HFC is perfectly suitable for script kids to download their stuff and if it only occurs at 40Mbs and not at 41Mb (due to coming to them from the USA ((despite their GigE NBN connection)) then they should just wait the extra few seconds.

These same kids invented 'butt chugging' because they couldn't even stand waiting the few minutes it takes to get drunk outa their minds on a Sat night .. and now they're controlling politics!

All this from a crowd that cannot even BEGIN to focus on the real issues such as solving the problem that ZERO tourists can land via aircraft in Sydney for 17% of every single day of every single week! Instead they're going to spend all of our money on moving the Navy from Garden Island to QLD.

Gimme a break!

It’s not just WA that gets it. Anywhere even semi-rural get’s it.

Nevermind the internet access, fibre would have solved the primitive
land-line phone call quality problems that plague my area and it's
surrounds in WA.
