:lol: which ISP does this idiot represent?.

Edit: nevermind a Google for his full name takes you straight to his LinkedIn with all the pertinent deets. He works for some outfit called Aussie Broadband who have insane prices and data caps on all plans ($85/month for 25/5 NBN and 1TB of data lmao).

They're really good though and they have local support so the money is going a lot further for you than with other providers who aren't that much cheaper. But everyone has different priorities in thei service and price is a big thing in a lot of people's decision making.

Aussie broadband is pretty great. Never an ounce of slowdown even in peak hours. I would recommend them to anyone getting NBN service.

I have been with them for years, they might not be the cheapest but their service more than compensate for that. They are local employing locals and when you ring up your not placed on hold for ages to then just get a person you can barely understand.

Lol I'll bet you this clown said the same dumb rear end poo poo about iiNet/internode/amnet back in the day because their pissant iprimus/dodo plan cost less and had more data, but their support consisted of an octogenarian from Laos with 3 remaining fingers and a 7 word English vocabulary, and also they only bought enough bandwidth to service 20% of their customers so they're throttling your poo poo 24/7.

:downsbravo:

Pro tip: unmetered connections are also garbage connections and only worthwhile if you're struggling to make ADSL speeds anyway. Unless NBN co starts radically changing the way costs are recovered, they're going to start going away again fairly soon, you loving clown.

I have TPG FTTB (Not NBN) un-metered and it's quite good. Fibre to the MDF and then VDSL over POTS to my apartment. I sync at 100/40 and achieve speeds close to that on the reg. And it costs me $60/month. Of course I live in an apartment and I'm also a couple hundred metres from core routing for WA but still, this is what the real proper NBN woulda felt like.


Edit: also I've had zero faults since having it installed >1 year ago and the tech that installed it was from Visionstream which is dope. He refused to leave the premise before completing service qualification and speedtest.

Grats. I sync at 95 and regularly get 35 through the same company (iinet) at my old place because they don't spent any money on suburban POIs. Why I'm paying $100 for the same plan through a different brand I don't know because it sure isn't paying for the support.

Of course you're going to get line speed in the Perth CBD, loving nobody else lives there.

Pile Of Garbage

NBN installation down Murray Street in the Perth CBD (Forrest Place to the FWY) only started three weeks ago. I know because I got a letter from TPG saying that my service would be unaffected by the PSTN disconnection.

People do live in the CBD here but yeah the density is nowhere near that of say Sydney. Also the interconnects to core routing (wel20) are absolute garbage and massively over-populated. From Wellington St it's just a huge dirty xmas tree branching out/over/under and all the way through. This is all poo poo that would have been resolved by real NBN but w/e.

Speaking on NBN and I swear this is the last time I will but one thing that is repeatedly ignored during comparison of the ALP and LNP plans is service symmetry. Under the original FTTP proposal symmetry would have been 1:1 but of course under the MTM proposal symmetry will range between 1:5 and 1:2. Basically all consumers end up with shite upload rates which is exactly what is required to stimulate the growth of start-ups and small businesses as detailed in the original ALP NBN plan.

Oh well who cares, hopefully when the ALP gets into power they will just go tear everything out by implementing the recent inquiry recommendations times a million.

In other news, auDA is actually going to decide on allowing direct registration for the .au ccTLD (e.g. example.au instead of example.com.au) in the very near future so that might be fun.

Oh god, allowing different sites to own blahblah.com.au and blahblah.au would be a clusterfuck and a half of confusion.

You can read the proposed policy change on the auDA website (I'm way too drunk to find it right now). What they are planning on doing is priority registration so if you already own "example.com.au" you have priority on registering "example.au".

MikeJF
Dec 20, 2003




That assumes far too much competence on the part of domain maintainers, 95% of them won't know the gently caress and will miss it, of course. And we'll end up with shittons of semi-popular [x].com.au sites having [x].au malware redirectors or troll poo poo and everything else being squatted to sell back to people who missed the priority window.

Plus just trying to explain to people 'my site is blablah.au NOT DOT COM DOT AU JUST DOT AU NOT DOT COM JUST DOT AU' isn't gonna work well.

You always have to take into account that everyone is incompetent and all the users are stupid.

Most new name space releases are just squatters, lawyers and "SEO Artists" taking money hand over fist from businesses for no real reason. The lack of names is often cited but rarely plausible since lawyers, SEO Artists and squatters are going to ensure all the names are gone again anyway. It's printing money.

Is it possible that Shorten refusing to back an Audit was because Labor wanted this outcome so they could say "well, you tried and we're all golden - now cop this".

given the fact that labor have been one step ahead of the libs on every single step of the citizenship crisis (see for example when they goaded the libs into going after shorten's citizenship) this seems quite likely

to be honest i'm a bit nervous about the labor mps though; given the hard line the high court has taken i don't see it as impossible that they'll rule that even if you went through the right processes to discharge your dual citizenship you must have done so far enough out from election to account for delays in processing.

My strongly held personal view is that the Court will not force people to anticipate the byzantine mechanics of other countries' bureaucracies. Keane J hinted at this in the last paragraph of Re Roberts.
