Ian does sound like you guys are getting shafted out there.

I agree with you Turbo6FG The government should be investing in both. but Fiber will not be outdated not for a very very long time. all the worlds undersea pipeline are fiber. all the links to the exhanges here are fiber. the NBN is about getting the fiber to the home or business. and you are right there at this point are very few places that you can download 100mbs+ from. technology does becomes redundant. but the copper network is falling apart and it cost alot to maintain it. the question is will somthing better then fiber come out before we fall behind with the rest of the world? hypnodoc most people I speak to with issue's in my line of work are not farmers they are everyday people. most farmers understand they cant get adsl or cable becuse of there distance. but they are very happy they dont need to use idsn or satellite. for a smaller cost then a satellite dish most farmers opt for wireless with a Directional antenna that points to the tower. a trained tech goes out and installs it then tests it. if the farmer cant get the minium network speed or enough signal then they dont pay for the device or installation. but sadly most farmers and people are sold wireless and are not told they may need an antenna if they have poor speed or signal. And here is also a little unknown fact its 2011 and no isp in Australia guarantees in building coverage. so basicly if you cant make a call, sms or use internet all your ISP has to do not have to do is say. Sorry we dont guarantee in building coverage and its in your terms and agreements. go make make your call outside. they dont say this because they want to keep customers but by law they can and there is nothing you can do about it. so bottom line is if an isp cant guarantee you in building coverage and its 2011 its pointless building wireless as australias primary network. but your are right NBN is a massive massive expence and there are also alot of things it could be better spent on. but here comes the saying. cheap, fast or reliable you can only have two. the question you have to ask is yourself as a taxpayer is would you prefer the goverment spends 46 - 50 billion on somthing fast and Reliable that will a last a long time? or keep spending money fixing somthing that's broken and look/wait for an alternative that may not come. personly myself just like most people here like to build stuff to last. people building up anything spend alot of coin on building it strong. they may never use its full potential. but im sure just like myself they go to sleep at night sound in the knowlage that it was money well spent. because when they wakeup and go to use it they know its Reliable.

Adding more towers and pumping more speed out is great idea but your missing the point. one the user needs to be able to get that signal and if everybody is on the network downloading and they will be. there will be massive network congestion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_congestion right now if I call my isp and said I have slow wireless speed they will ask me 20 question like have you tried it in another area? do you have an antenna? if the answer is yes then a fault will be logged and I will have to wait for network techs investergate. and after some time they will give me one of a few answers 1. there is Network Congestion on the tower and tower will be put in a congestion list for tower to be upgraded for Throughput. no time frame 2. faulty device. 3. Need a Stronger Antenna. 4. Possable Network blackspot. How portable is a large antenna strapped to your device car or roof? wireless is great dont get me wrong. I have seen crazy speeds but it does has massive limitations. NBA with Fiber is a much smarter idea. yes your average person does not need a 100mbs speed connection but they may in the future. With Fiber if there is an issue. it will be logged to a tester and a tester will test the line and if there is an issue send a tech. a tech will go to the ONT and test. turn around is as fast if not faster then ADSL. the ONT is the box on the wall feeding your house with Phone, Data, Free to air and Foxtel. Much Much Quicker turn around on faults and much easyer to test. 99% of people connect with a modem but you dont need one. if you connect any pc or mac with lan connection into the data port you can connect my making a PPPoE connection. I hate Conroy with a passion but I agree with him on this one.

Mate a passenger cannot comment on the driving of a car based on being a passenger. there is nothing to prove op or my self have driven thies cars there is also no proof you have been in a GT or an M3. why dont you go and test drive a GS or GT before you comment on how it drives.
-
Mate dont realy care who was driving it FACT is you were a Passenger. and you cant get a real feel for the car untill your driving it. FACT you dont see Clarkson rating cars being a passenger do you? FACT OP was giving his opinion based on driving the car not being passenger. and with these FACTS in mind I dont think you can call OP comment BS.

yeah dealers up here are pritty set that's becuse they know they can get the money.

Cranny I know what your saying and I agree it does not fell as fast as the turbo its because we are use to the torque curve. took F6 Ute and GS Ute for run and F6 felt faster and did spin tyres more then GS. my Tuned BA XR6 felt faster then the F6 but I know my car is way slower then F6 and GS but sudden rush of boost just fells faster. I think you sould wait abit and maybe get in a tuned GT or F6 and see what you recon then.
