I can see why this is appealing from an RSP perspective. P95 is
definitely comfort food for RSPs and it's traditionally easy to
measure.

But. The NBN is a consumer-centric network and p95 borders on
obfuscation as far as consumers are concerned. Certainly up there with
AGC+CVC.

Given that the NBN is funded by consumers (aka tax payers) I think it
behooves our industry to create a transparent and easy-to-understand
costing model for those paying the bills. And, p95 aint it.
