Top 10 Benefits of the NBN

[*crikey*mate*]

What are they?

Why do people want it?

Why do people need it?

How does it compare with what we have now?

How will it benefit us compared to what we have now?

What I am doing is correcting all the misinformation that is being attempted to be fed to all and sundry.

The propagation in Optic Fibre is no faster than the propagation in copper.

Optic Fibre is not a new technology it has been around for the last 40 years or so.

You say I am trying to confuse people, that is not so.

What I have stated is irrefutable fact based on science and physics.

Can you claim that?

No, you are not. You are attempting to distract the conversation from the facts about the NBN with trivial BS that is not relevant to the NBN.

Nobody said anything about how long FiO has been around and you are selecting snippets of trial results in an attempt to prove that copper is the same as fibre.

They are most likely waiting on India and not you at all"

poddster don't comment on things you know nothing about, the last time I looked you were not in the boardroom when I had my last training session.  Just because you want to bury your head in the sand and keep this country going backwards technology wise does not mean we all do. 

Sadly my area is not going to get NBN for years if we every do so I guess I will have to just get used to being laughted at by India and the rest of the world

You can decide that for your self.

Here is a link to a site that will check out the internet speed that you have at the moment

http://speedtest.net/

That that site does is send a block of test data (10MB) to your PC and measures the speed at which your PC accepts it in terms of Mega bits per second (download speed).Then it requests part of that block back and measures the speed of that (upload). it then displays te result.

You can choose servers from justa bout anywhere in the world as a comparison.

Choose the recomended closest server to begin with and then choose one in .......say the USA or the UK and compare the difference

The result will be in Mbps

I would be interested in your results

OK - I just did mine

You know the specs of my PC - and you know it's brand new - plus it's red, so that prolly means it goes fast - but does it - these results don't mean a whole lot to me....

I've got ADSL2

Upload Speed: .84 Mbps

Ping - 27 ms

Upload Speed - .85 Mbps

Those "snippets" as you call them have been around for about 40 years, tried and true scientific facts.

All that I have stated is very relevant to Internet data traffic. Even though you attempt to class it trivia ans B/S it is not. I have made 2 irrefutable statements of fact that you have chosen to ignore, why is that?

Perhaps those statements negate your argument so you choose to ignore them in the hope that they will go away.

By the way you said that

Care to change what you said in the light of the above information?

Geez you're full of it.

I would hazard a guess that those results are about the same as freaki would get 🙂

Freaki has NBN

No, I don't know your computer specs or anything about it. Must have missed that chat  😄

That's good ping, good download, not good upload. Upload is the key difference for consumers.  Most people do download more than upload but our upload requirements are increasing with the interactivity increases within our devices. I don't think I explain very well  😄

We store more stuff in the cloud. Meaning we use more and more iTunes, icloud, dropbox, MYOB or cashbooks online,  posting photos, HD Skype or streaming, online backups....etc.  And as Maine Coone said our broadband is lagging behind. The NBN is a good project and Mike Quigley is a good person for the job. 

Did you know he gave his first year NBN salary to NeuroScience Australia for research?

Those "snippets" as you call them have been around for about 40 years, tried and true scientific facts.

Exactly, you are finding snippets of lab research 40 years old which has no bearing on the reality of the NBN network.

Recent tests prove copper can carry GBs but not in any sort of usable format for a comms network today.  ie a few metres before drop off.

Go and listen to the Simon Hackett speech. He knows what he is talking about.

Even Masayoshi Son loves FTTP and he is in the mobile BB business.

Have a listen, watch and learn.

So did I do good?

Does the mighty Viper rock?

Do I need to do something to make it better?

FREAKY - LOL - I meant Poddy knows my PC's specs

[*crikey*mate*]

so is there something I should do to improve my upload speed? Is it something I did wrong?

and how do those speeds compare with the NBN?

i.e.

Viper on ADSL2                                           Freaky on NBN

Ping - 11 ms

Down load speed - 20.99 Mbps

Upload Speed - .84 Mbps
