There's an interesting tension here between the BIRRR group who want reliable,

the proponents of high-speed (>=1Gbit/sec) availability.

The stated aim ofBIRRR is equitable access to broadband services. What's
adequate is debatable, but it would probably be services that will meet
foreseeable demand. I reckon that includes 1 Gb/s in the short term,
with an upgrade path.

In the 12 weeks since launching as an NBN RSP, Demos said MyRepublic
has signed up 10,000 customers to its high-speed plans, which proves
that customers do want faster services -- as does the fact that 40
percent of its New Zealand customers are already on 1Gbps plans.
