NewsCorp and Telstra each own 50% of the appropriately named monopoly pay TV provider FOXTEL. Now guess which companies' ex-CFO was appointed by this new government to be the new CFO of NBN Co. Here's a hint: it was one of the abo

While I haven't seen anyone actually use this pronunciation I'd consider 'p', short for predicate, a fairly logical way of pronouncing '?'. If nothing else, it's LISPy in origin at least. Without actually

Your view of the universe is ass backwards. What makes Wikipedia and Facebook and Twitter more worthy than a million other websites that may consume less bandwidth even if you summed them up? Why is Wikipedia more special than Project Guten

No, not them. Not as much as Internet.org and everyone associated with it and Facebook Zero and even Wikipedia Zero should be prosecuted with extreme prejudice. Not necessarily in a judicial court, but definitely crucified in the court of p

Which is why I made it. Five years ago. As a warning. Yet here we are with this having been in the WCIT leaks if people didn't have enough of a warning: http://i.imgur.com/roimIHy.jpg The stuff on the right was created

You have a set of questions for this Abbott-led government regarding technology backed up by legitimate concerns? Save your time, I already know the response to that. It's 'Get Fucked'. And that was before the election. ht

If you're on 1.4 Mbps then the odds are very good you're too far from your exchange for this to make even the slightest bit of a difference. Not just by a small factor, but at that speed you're likely to be around two orders

Probably more likely to be more fundamental - attenuation, I think. But those two certainly don't help either.

It would be. This wouldn't however involve the nodes as built at the moment. The problem is one of distance, not of the protocol that you're using. Adopting this instead of VDSL2 and keeping the architecture and topology the same

Whatever the theoretical limit is, they're pretty much right at it at this point. Similar to how ADSL2+ was near enough at the theoretical limit of what the frequency spectrum it used could do given the attenuation it was asked to do i

FTTdp is the technical term. It makes a lot of sense, especially if the telco rolling it out has ownership and maintenance of both the copper and fibre end. But none of this would make sense or is in any way indicative of the pile of shit t
