"You have just received the digital copies of your wedding photos from the photographer. You're eager to upload them to Facebook for all to see."

Why on earth would you want to do that?

PS, still photographs do not consume a lot of bandwidth

DY I guess you are not technically minded. It might be nice to have a freeway passing your house, but do you have a Ferrari?.

I see Conroy's recent auction of spectrum fell short by a $ 1billion, look it up!

I upload mine to share with family and friends.

Still photos can easily consume your bandwidth. Maybe your old camera is not high resolution but mine is. Last lot of photos I emailed someone was 2.2Gb. Over the course of a week I upload about 8Gb in photos alone.

DY: "Toilet rolls with string attached. I remember those."

As I said above DY, you are not technically minded.

"A tin can telephone is a type of acoustic (non-electrical) speech-transmitting device made up of two tin cans, paper cups or similarly shaped items attached to either end of a taut string or wire."

It requires a diaphragm to convert acoustic energy into mechanical energy, and then to reverse the process.

Toilet rolls, well your process might involve those!

Goodness knows whether the simulations are accurate but it sure looks a lot faster with Labors NBN

As slow as the slowest link from source to destination. The global average id around 24 Mbps.

So if you have a billion Mbps potential you are still limited to the speed of the slowest link

Dont be conned by all the hype

Interesting, the shuggy would have had Malcoms babies in the past but it seems the love affair is over and she no longer is infatuated by MT and will not vote for him if he was the Liberal leader.

Now the website is a fraud (like the labor party)

The problem with the website is that it doesn't compare Apples with oranges. It should be using the median plans customers will be on with each form of NBN. Currently it is using the proposed max of one NBN (which isn't available yet) and the proposed min of the other.

It also doesn't take into account the speeds of the computers at the other end and the speeds of the hops on the way through. A single bottle neck on the internet where the data is passing through will just slow the whole thing down etc etc etc etc etc....

I have 100 Mbit/s down, 2 Mbit/s up cable right now and there are issues and you can only get data as fast as the sites overseas can serve it to you via inadequate under seas cables into Australia. Massive issues with the lack of real bandwidth in and out of Australia with the underseas cables and again etc etc etc

Also the other thing is as we are BROKE thanks to Gillard and Labor how are we going to pay for this gold plated network shuggy so the kids can down load pr0n and ripped movies etc

Also the faster you go on the NBN the more it will cost you, way more than you pay now....

the slowest link is copper, its a lap band.

and no , NW didn't write that .. just added a shuggy here and there.
