I'm with you there Rhonda. I live 8kms from the local exchange and my
broadband speed is too low to download video and watch it. I downloaded an
update (the game MYST) for my iphone the other night and it took 12 hours! I
live in the hills not far from Adelaide, where there is no significant
density of population to attract providers, and I believe my only hope of
getting a decent speed is through the NBC.
cheers
Kath

Subject: atw: National Broadband Network issue
Hi all
I've never been one discuss politics (or even been interested too much in
the 'issues' surrounding an election). And I have no intention of starting a
discussion about politics here.
However, for many of you who work from home (whether in the city or not), or
who would like to work from home, the National Broadband Network issue is
one that affects you directly.
I blogged about my stance on this critical issue to my ability to work
here:

iament-re-the-nbn/ (or http://bit.ly/aewMZq)
The NBN is something I feel very passionate about, and even more so since
having an email discussion yesterday with Helen, a member of another list
I'm on. Helen has moved from Pemberton, WA to a property about an hour south
of Perth. She cannot even get phone, let alone internet on her new property.
As her internet access is severely limited, I'll quote from an email she
wrote to me today when she was back in Pemberton:
"We are fed up with them, whoever 'they' are. We have had to have satellite
internet here because we are 100m from a hub/rim, in spite of campaigning to
get internet here, which everyone else does have now, except us. The phone
line (180m) was laid and connected on Friday only for them to 'discover'
there is a fault on the town side of the line.
The fault is, just like your cake, there was one 'pair gain' whatever left
for us to have and it has a fault. You can't tell me they didn't know that,
and that is why it was left. So no phone and no internet."
And this is an hour out of a major capital city, not woop-woop.
Some 50+ years ago an Australian government had the vision to lay copper
lines throughout the country to provide us with an (almost) universal
telephone service. Now a government wants to do a similarly large
infrastructure project, this time with materials that should last a further
50+ years, but the opposition wants to keep us in the dark ages of a failing
copper wire network (and boy, have I had experience of it failing!), or
build thousands more mobile phone towers to provide us with a slow satellite
service.
I'll shut up now.
Rhonda
