> Yet my connection is still being forced onto the new fibre? What for? That's just wasted expenditure.
That would be creating a baseline of availability. People would scream bloody murder if you were told "no we will not provide you with capability for the future as your current capability is fine for what you need it for now".
Not sure I understand the point. How does anyone know what their usage habits are going to be like in 10 years time? That's part of what I mean by the government framing the debate so poorly. If they are stupid enough to set a benchmark of what the future shall be like - then it's their own fault if people start complaining that what they are being offered doesn't match that benchmark.
No idea what you mean. They're setting a benchmark of an expandable fibre connection to 93% of Australia. How can you spin that as bad? As for usage: more. Technology use always expands to fill capacity.
