- PeterisP 13y agoFour words: fiber to the home. The cheapest internet package that I have available has 20mbit download, which is more than needed for 4k streaming; and where FTTH is available, nobody really bothers to offer DSL/etc anymore.
- dagw 13y agoI've got 100mbit fiber at home and still have problems with Netflix occasionally dropping out. There is more to bandwidth bottlenecks than simply the last mile.
- rasz_pl 13y agoSure, Australians got themselves FTTH and guess what, incumbent industry think tank helped during the planning phase by slipping some great ideas ... like data caps :D data caps on the internal traffic that never leaves the network
- shirro 13y agoNope. Australians lost their FTTH when they elected a new government. They are getting upgrades to existing HFC, FTTN or wireless/satellite and the rollout is going to be much slower and more expensive and without the speed guarantees. Crony capitalism at its best.
