Re: Post-Election NBN Thread
That's because it doesn't.
An OT post to potentially wind up everyone in this thread. Until yesterday I was getting 1.9Mbps (with major dropouts) via wireless and 10Mbps if I plugged directly into the ADSL2+ modem. Today I bought a Billion wireless/modem combo and upped my iinet connection to thrillseeker (7dB SNR) and now I'm getting 18Mbps wired and 16.5Mbps wireless. Fuck Belkin.

Re: Post-Election NBN Thread
Well Rupert has been busy in the last two days...
Censorship the real sleeper in the government's $43bn NBN chaos
Rollout looking more and more like a Ponzi scheme
NBN Co to foot the bill in linking up apartments
Did the Labor party fuck his dog or run over it or something? The sooner Rupert gets The Australian behind a paywall the better.

Don't worry about it, other countries have more debt so it can't be bad!

I think this must be a new daily lift-out you get with The Australian these days.

As much as the Oz is a pointless shitrag it's delicious to watch Conroy being kicked around like a football.

They have a website that's free to access, but don't bother because your internet connection is probably too slow.

Re: Post-Election NBN Thread
So apparently because Japan is rolling out an NBN the Australian government is vindicated in their choice.
How ridiculous.

NBN BOX

lol looks like something for the 80's or early 90's

WE'VE got some good news for anyone who misses those old grey Telecom touch phones.
Your house is about to get another grey box, courtesy of the NBN.
New pictures of the NBN Network Termination Unit, or "NBN Box", have been published in an information pack for consumers.
The NBN Box will connect you to the new broadband network when it's rolled out in your area.
All Australian homes will get one, regardless of whether they're hooked up to the network via fibre-optic cable, wireless or satellite.
Most people will get an internal box, pictured, though there's also an external version that can be mounted on an outside wall.
On the back are two phone ports and four Ethernet ports. It also comes with a back-up battery and a power supply that plugs into a power point.
The pictures, taken by NBN Co, were released in a consumer guide published last week by the Internet Society of Australia and Australian Communications Consumer Action Network.
The guide includes plain-language information and tips on how to prepare for the NBN and what it will mean for households. You can read or download it here.

Re: Post-Election NBN Thread
Well I guess the NBN box connects to your router via a cable then you just use wireless on your routerAll Australian homes will get one, regardless of whether they're hooked up to the network via fibre-optic cable, wireless or satellite.
I dont think the NBN box will be wireless to your router

Typical SAer."The speed of fibre is not required in the average home," he said. "They should've built wireless instead." Mr Ker-David said his Optus wireless connection was faster than the ADSL connection he had in his home, and that the government should have invested elsewhere.

Westical should vote Labor so his seat becomes more marginal. Then he can get NBN.Megaman wrote:They have a website that's free to access, but don't bother because your internet connection is probably too slow.
Re: Post-Election NBN Thread
Let's hope it gets so marginal that it's shat on by the bloke in that pic.
