Read the article below

The state of the copper network is now the top discussion being held around the water cooler. Joe heard that Fred heard that Misty’s father was a Telstra linesman who swears….

The situation is far from clear and Telstra is not helping matters by making a series of conflicting statements regarding the state of the copper network.

NBN reviews are not what we have been told

NBN reviews are not what we have been told

Have you ever felt that your leg is being pulled? Well the government told us that they would carry out open and independent reviews of the National Broadband Network (NBN) and by the evidence available the reviews are little more than a change management process.

If the government continues along the current path then the review report due out on 2 December 2013 will be little more than lightweight technically deficient justification for change.
