In Aus, the upload even at top teir is just a joke. The whole aim is to force us all just to be consumers. If we had these kind of speeds, Australians could create their own startups from home and be competitive in the technology market... anyway, back to mining and terrible policy decisions affecting us for generations.

@Gh0stlyM0use@mastodon.social honestly, don't blame the concept of the NBN, blame Malcolm Turnbull. I spent a good few years writing on comms tech and the like before the 2013 election, and it was clear, even then, that the FTTC/FTTdp arrangement was going to be a failure. Even now, we're about 5-10 years behind the Lib's own plan, purely because of the disruption in 2013. We should be rocking full NG-PON/XG-PON by now #auspol #NBN

@Gh0stlyM0use@mastodon.social I was so furious when they hobbled the NBN plans after Abbott and Turnbull started their meddling. And all these years later it’s only got very slightly better.
