[AusNOG] ACCC pushes for consumer internet speed test, telcos aren't keen on the idea

[ausftth at mail.com]

"But Mr Sims added the program would cost "low single-digit millions of dollars" with funding coming from either the government or telecommunications providers."

Seriously?!

The whole thing is a pipedream anyways with CVC charges at $17.50 per mbps. It's a complete waste of money, regardless if millions are spent or not. If ACCC wants to know which circuits are congested they only need ask NBNco.
