"Misconceptions
The VGA rating refers only to size and not to clarity. A 640-by-480 pixel image is about the equivalent of a 0.3 megapixel image. The issues of distortion and clarity loss only occur when the image is either enlarged beyond its original parameters for printing or is viewed on a screen that uses a larger resolution."
If all you do is drive around locally and visit the local shops, how does owning a Maserati help, especially if you have no idea how to get it out of first gear.?
That I think,as I mentioned before, is why some want a FTTH NBN because they do not fully understand the technology involved, and what they actually need.
What hardware (software even) specification improvements would you need FN from your "moving with the times" Internet access hardware over and above the previously mentioned specifications for my $130 IBM Lenovo ThinkCentre desktop?

Who's talking about cars? I would not want a Maserati to drive to the local shops. I'm quite happy with my small 4 cylinder for which ever type of driving I do. It's great for travelling between Adelaide, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne. But it's a car not a computer. I take various computer and camera devices with me on my travels though the car makes no difference to those.
There is no way I would be able to use the old IBM DOS desktop or early windows model for what I use these days. Each new camera has better resolution and uses more processing power and bandwidth for starters. I like clarity, high resolution and printable images with a decent size LCD screen.
BTW, the GPON NBN is more like comparing a new ford with an old Ford. Would you buy a 30 year old one that you had to spend money on all the time or a new one that uses less fuel? I'd go the new if I was after efficiency, the old if it was a collectable and I was into collectable cars.
