Australia's internet is a shithole. Telstra's copper network is a nightmare and the NBN was utterly destroyed by political one-upsmanship. WISPs are the future.
I've worked in this industry for years and I'm currently a wireless engineer for a WISP. I predict that the 5GHz spectrum will become an unmanageable shitshow just as faith in the NBN hits rock bottom. Maybe if Cambium Medusas hit a price point that becomes practicable for mass rollouts, it might be salvageable, otherwise we're pretty much doomed unless licenced frequencies see significant change. What are your thoughts?

Holy fuck man, FTTN was such a disgrace. I saw people get forcibly cut over to VDSL from ADSL LOSE sync speed.
HFC should have been a triumphant return to form, but it's a provisioning nightmare with no end in sight. The idea that we can settle for 12-25Mbit speeds for the next decade or two is an outrage. AND, we're forced to introduce new infrastructure for a supposed budget conscious replacement model. The purchasing of any infrastructure from Optus and Telstra exposed how much of a joke the Liberal NBN plan was.

I really feel sorry for Australians, they had one of the best thought out plans for rolling out fast internet for everyone and the new government killed it for everyone. Meanwhile in Britain we're stuck with FTTN and BT Openreach refuses to roll out FTTP.

Even our FTTP rollout is fucked, 1:100 contention ratios is the norm, and the bandwidth costs are insane. The tech might be able to do 1Gbit, but 100Mbit plans still fall below 10Mbit during peak time for a lot of providers.

the internet isn't a right, you communist idiot. that shit is expensive to build, and if it's not worth the company's money what makes it worth the taxpayer's money?

Except the private sector won't do jack shit because telecoms are not a free market

i’m on FTTP, so I’m happy with that, but what about 4g and other cellular data access mediums?
