[AusNOG] Discussion point: Why aren't the NBNCo tails symmetric in speed?

Wed Apr 9 21:39:15 EST 2014

Hey Chris,

I wasn't asked 'when' they were doing it, but more 'why' they aren't doing
it from day dot on the speeds they've chosen, which from what I understand,
the GPON being rolled out is fully capable of.
