It was a mistake to build the NBN in its current form. It should have 
been FTTH from the beginning.

nothing to do with having a clue, asshole. it's about what we know and 
what we don't know. you've heavily into this shit, I'm not. I just have 
a passing interest. if you don't want to answer the question then don't 
reply. and purely on a rational basis, if it's being said then there 
must be reasons for it

Corse it is on whether there is anything even remotely like enough
wireless bandwidth available to do the alternative to the NBN by 5G.

> it's about what we know and what we don't know.

Yep, and you are so fucking pig ignorant that you don’t even
realise that there isnt anything even remotely like enough wireless
bandwidth available to do the alternative to the NBN by 5G.

> if you don't want to answer the question

I did. You're too stupid to even notice that either.

> purely on a rational basis, if it's being said then there must be reasons

And as I told you already, that happens because
fuckwits like you have never had a fucking clue and
keep mindlessly repeating any old shit their hear.

Not a chance, it’s a shared bandwidth system, so wont be able to handle
everyone watching the highest resolution netflix etc, you watch.

There is not enough wireless bandwidth to give everyone high 
speed Internet.

Well I'm on FTTH and I'm quite happy about it. Far better than the HFC 
cable I used to be on.

HD streaming works at lower speeds than that. I only sometimes get only 
5 - 7mbps on wifi and Netflix still streams in HD

Well, I was lucky enough to get FTTH, but I can't see the point of paying
for top-shelf.  I just did an update of Suse Tumbleweed linux (over 2000
items) and it took 7 hours. The download speed was as slow as 30 kB/s.

I would suggest that was the server being slow.

I don't know about SUSE, but the official Australian Debian mirror was
hopelessly slow the last time I tried it. Getting into the KB/s was an
achievement! I'm currently using the iinet (if anyone's got a good
connection, it should be an ISP) and Monash Uni Debian mirrors.

Looks like iinet's got SUSE as well:

I use the AARNET mirror for some stuff and it's on the Optus Backbone - 
so I always get good speeds from there. It has to be said however that 
speeds seem to be limited. 4 concurrent downloads are no faster than a 
single download. That's probably a server limitation, not the connection.

I pay 10% less for top shelf NBN than I did for the cheapest adsl
I could find with an operation that wasn’t likely to go bust soon.

Nothing to do with the NBN.

The download speed you get will be dependent on a multitude of factors, 
not the least of which is the connection into the server you're leeching 
from.
