21,000 faulty NBN connections claimed

[nero_bolt]

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.

Para, all that you mention is being handled by the Internet already. My objection to the NBN Co. system is that they conned a government and the government in turn tried to con the taxpayers into an expensive white elephant monopoly.

 repeating that tripe over again does not legitimise it. it works in politics but not in the real world .

On the NBN website my part of Alice Springs was ,according to them,finished in March this year but now they are admitting that they are not even in Alice yet as they are still trying to sort out the mess they got into in Darwin. This is another deal like the intervention

& it's extension where the contractors & the government departments tick the right box on the sheet so their political masters can spruke to the public how far advanced they are.

LL what leads you to believe that the proposed alternative Broadband network is, as you say, a dog?

How do you see having a 100mbps connection will improve an average household's usage?

Do you think that opening an email in one microsecond instead of one millisecond has any advantage to the reader?

On the roll out map Alice Springs is in blue and due to start within a year.

NBN Co cancelled the contract for the NT and took over the work themselves as the contractor could not get the work they signed up for done as agreed.

That just proves how out of touch you are. Nobody is talking NBN for emails.

The NBN was/is a con job.

Being forced into a FTTP system is what my objection.

i have no problem in admitting the FTTP is the ultimate internet system....................IF YOU NEED IT............. but the average household/user does not need it and wont need it but it is being forced on them with the attempted exclusion of any other system.

People are being told that you "NEED" and you "MUST HAVE" the NBN Co. broadband system and legislation has been passed to exclude any other system. Now that may be reversed and choice given back to the taxpayer.
