They've been running new cables all through town, vans and trucks everywhere with NBNco and something else on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even to new estates, I've seen plenty of brand new FTTN developments because they're under 100 houses. They bought the cables from telstra. In their quest to save money the liberals actually took it too far, to a level I would describe as fraudulent. They knew the cabling was stuffed yet continued to go along with the plan... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 18 months of the nbn being in an area, aren't they meant to be providing FTTP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psshhhht Member 165 Member For: 8y 3m 6d Posted 19/02/19 07:47 AM Share Posted 19/02/19 07:47 AM absolutely sick of muppet "heroes" on the road who think they're somehow achieving something other than being dicks by speeding up and blocking you when trying to pass them. Had one in a lexus on the way home from work today... sure I was speeding past him and others, but until he decided to block me off it was only about 5-10 over (100 zone freeway) and was my risk to take, but guy stuck with me to 140... like had he just used common sense and let me pass there would have been no risk and much lower speeds but nooooo.... had to prove something... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
