The article is pretty sensationalist in nature, just like the
murdoch press was before the election. Are they all just
trying to suggest the entire project (the largest infrastructure
project Australia has ever had) is a big lemon?  Dolts.

"The sources said the problem was partly caused by the
initial race under the former Labor government to hit rollout
targets. With construction contractors under pressure to hit
those goals, many homes were left with an inferior connection."

So they are still trying to blame the former govt? Geez, get over
it already!  And what exactly is "an inferior connection" ? A
FTTH connection either works or it doesn't. Unlike FTTN, where
even the ACCC are suggesting "deception" when NBNco say
connection speeds are "up to" whatever and you order a
100mbps plan but only get 40mbps, its your fault for asking
for the wrong plan.

The general consensus is that Tony and Malcolm have
successfully demolished the NBN as they threatened to
do pre-election.

I am not a good arguer, but everything about Turnbull's
MTM is just wrong. I just hope that once people start to
realise what is happening with this project, they can start
to rally for the right way to do it - do it once, do it right.

Maybe they should look more closely at this google project:
