21,000 faulty NBN connections claimed

Another LABOR failure and botched policy....... 

One of an Abbott Government’s toughest jobs will be to clean up the NBN mess and stop the bleeding of our billions:

THE company building Labor’s $37.4 billion National Broadband Network could be forced to repair tens... after cutting corners in the construction processes to boost the number of homes passed by the massive infrastructure project.

The Australian can reveal that as of last week, connections to as many as 21,000 - one in eight - of the 163,500 existing homes and businesses passed by the fibre network were considered to contain defects in the network construction…

The defects mean that network connections to thousands of homes and businesses, which have been classified as “ready for service”, may require repairs before users can access the internet on the new network.

NBN Co last night disputed the figures, admitting there were significant defects but insisting the total number was lower than the [NBN internal] figures obtained by The Australian.

Why is that?

We will get the real truth on this soon enough. The Conroy will be livid he's become irrelevent, he's lied for years, wonder what he's hidden that will now have a light shone on it.

You really puzzle me, Lightning. You appear to be reasonably intelligent and well educated, you have an adequate command of the English Language  and  a good grasp of spelling, grammar and syntax; yet, despite all this, you have an almost pathalogical inabfility to articulate a logical or coherent argument.

ref. Petition Australia's future BROADBAND...... This petition is designed to highlight Australia’s desire for a superior ‘Fibre to the Home’ (FTTH) broadband solution, rather than the Coalition’s proposed ‘Fibre to the Node’ (FTTN) solution.
