Wrong. In fact, I posted about this just an hour ago over on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/290n9b/is_the_nbn_strategic_reviews_terminal_value/cigel11 http://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/290n9b/is_the_nbn... Furthermore, you're calling it a saving of money in one sentence and then imply that it's in investment right in the next. So what is it, a pure expenditure or an investment? And in fact, with the NBN plan I'd likely switch to were it available in my area I would pay $10 less than my current connection, have 4 times the download speed, 40 times the upload speed and unlimited data. Or I'd stay with the same provider and pay $5 more and the same as above but not unlimited data. Either of the two are with a phone line included. So I guess if that's what you meant by paying more than with ADSL, then that's one way of looking at it. Another way is this (mind you, with 40 Mbps upload vs. a maximum 2 with ADSL): http://i.imgur.com/VKovuSO.png http://i.imgur.com/VKovuSO.png Which blows this: > The Labor governments $30bn costing was predicated on NBN users paying more than they currently pay for ADSL services, and for those charges to increase annually. Pretty much right of the water, doesn't it? In fact, I'm curious. Where did you hear it and believe it to such an extent you were willing to parrot it without any further fact checking?
