I'm surprised that they are complaining about HFC because most of the 
issues seem to be about FTTN, not HFC.

HFC is delivering 100Mbit to anyone connected, while FTTN depends on the 
distance to the node and the quality of your internal house wiring. The 
term "NBN lottery" usually refers to your distance from the node if 
you're stuck with FTTN, not HFC.


HFC can deliver Gigabit in the future, by deploying DOCSIS 3.1 and other 
new technologies. Some of this has to wait until Foxtel and Telstra 
non-NBN internet customers leave the cable in the next few years.



And that's before we even start to pity the fixed wireless customers...
