NBN sub contractors

[lloydslights]

They have just turned up 10 days earlier than scheduled.  

The 20 year olds look as though they've slept in their van, after partaking of a substance of some sort for the last few days. No ID or card to identify themselves or their company.

They had steel capped boots on with their board shorts and hoodies.

Their plan was to dig diagonally across the yard (including about 4 metres of concrete driveway).  

I asked who was to pay for all this work on my property.   "Just the government" was the response to my apparently stupid question.

They have now gone to speak to their "big supervisor" about my suggestion of pulling the cable through an existing conduit.  

Okay, has anyone else experienced similar workmen and ideas that are charged to the Government?

OK LL, let us open up the can of worms once again.

I'll start.

The NBN as sold to the voters was and is a conjob, it was a white elephant from the start and it is still around but it is now a rotting hulk.

You say that the proposed version is vastly inferior, ok, elaborate on your statement and show just how it is vastly inferior.

Trot out any argument you can come up with 🙂

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about in relatiobn to the NBN.

The great big con job is the one we're faced with now.

LL, It is just as i expected, you can not show "the vast superiority" of the now defunct Labor's version of the NBN.

Labor and the NBN Co. laid the landmines when they realised that they were heading off to oblivion.

I say again the NBN as sold to the voters was and is a scam of epic proportions.

You saying it does not make it true.

I say again you are completely wrong about the NBN being a scam of any sort. It is the most needed piece of infrastructure in the country this century.

Typical Libs, all that ranting and blistering about no cost benefit analysis for the NBN but they haven't produced one for badgery's creek.

And turnbulls fraudband is more expensive.

   i think its time for you to defend turnbulls actions, the benefits of the NBN are well established, thats why the government said it would build it ''better.. cheaper''  so far that hasn't proven to be the case. turnbull kept claiming that the labor NBN didn't have a business plan.. the link i provided indicates turnbull has no 'business plan'  which puts all his claims in real doubt

Is the square kilometre array project still going ahead?

The nearby towns people are annoyed about being taken off the NBN fibre map.

 you say a lot of unsubstantiated things. 

[poddster]

Would you like to take over from LL and show everyone the "vast superiority" of the NBN as sold to the voters to win an election?

Be my guest trot out your arguments.:)

[poddster]

I invite you to prove any inconsistancy in what i have stated LL.

[just_me_karen]

Lol no clue. Why is your only focus on a past government?

You should be focusing on the current government and their dodgy deal for broadband...which will be less effective and more expensive....except in their own streets, I bet. And their mate's streets. And Gina's lol

 why would anyone bother given past performances ? my favorite was where you 'demonstrated' that copper is superior to fibre  

i doubt anyone else is making the arguments you made at that time , comic relief is all you provided. when presented with detail you ignore it and start prodicing the most dubious and ludicrous arguments i can recall  seeing on the topic. laughable.

I will not waste my time arguing with someone who is against the NBN for no reason other than it was a Labor initiative.

Btw, it wasn't sold to voters to win an election. It's not one of those short election term policies that unitelligent sloganeers love so much.
