Whoops, I got that wrong. I should have said 400,000 times faster. BT are trialing a system that is 400,000 times faster than the Liberal NBN, and they have been trialing it since November.
And why are you still ranting on about CVC. Most of us would have been happy to pay the extra $6.66 CVC fee to get a 1Gbps connection thanks. T.

How can you possibly stand up for such a piece of technological crap. This is why we’re now getting one of the most expensive lemons in the history of Australia, holding back Australia for the next 20 years. In the meanwhile, in the UK, British Telecom are trialing superfast internet over GPON, which is what the Labor NBN used. http://www.broadbandworldforum.com/bt-10gbps-connection-trial-is-world%E2%80%99s-fastest-broadband/ 10Gbps internet. While Australia will only get 25Mbps, but not even that is guaranteed now that the election is over. That’s 10,000,000,000,000 vs 25,000,000 Now we’re talking about 4000 times faster. The Liberal Party NBN is outrageously low value for money. They should be ashamed of themselves. They are such a bunch of technical incompetents. Who the hell thought the Liberals could ever come up with a decent NBN for the SAME dollars? What were you thinking? T.

It’s not a network designed to deliver fast broadband – it’s a network designed to multicast TV. A hertz is a hertz.

It is a shame the review didn't address any of the key structural issues in the NBN. Completely silent on the fact (at least I couldn't find any reference to CVC when I skimmed it). David.
