*Er, since when would that increase competition? Do we have two sets of roads, two sets of electricity *distribution* systems?*
becuase you have to places to buy from, it's call competition, plus if you ever work in a place like a mine for example, you notice they have 2 of everything, so when one fails the other takes over, it's called redundancy also go back and look, that is pretty much how the NBN was sold, a new network, not a intergration into Telstra's existing network so the point is, the original reason/justification for creating the NBN is now gone, the reason/justification has now changed on the fly *You'd be surprised. A friend was grousing that his kids had used > 20g in a week (school holidays) and put him into 'shaped' territory. The higher the speed, the more this is going to happen.* as the previous poster showed TPG have unlimited ADSL2+ for $75 a month I have 150 Gig for $49 ADSL2+ the greater majority of people will find this volume of data plenty *Telstra never should have been allowed to own both pieces.* I never said is should have been allowed, but the govenment tampering with private business so they can try to keep a promies they made on the fly, 5 days after there first broadband network failed is not a good reason, Telstra was Government owned only a decade or so ago, that is the reason Telstra is the way it is *What was the fact in all of that?* hmm exactly what is said, we have a network, but we are going to spend 40 billion plus for the government to take the network back in to government control reason... because there first plan failed, 5 days later they announced the new 42 billion NBN, it's not about the NBN, it's about the Labor Party trying to cover there ass for there first failed attempt
