Speaking of Australia's national network project, (NBN), that's true: a meal is as fierce as a tiger and one slow to use as a tortoise.
Eight years after it was founded in 2010, Melbourne alone still has a lot of families left uncovered, and it is said that it will not reach 93% of Australia until 2021.
And this NBN not only slow installation, its network speed is also slow oh.
Previous news revealed that Australia's Internet speed is even slower than that of an island in Africa.
This is not, three hasty Australian netizens, decided to establish their own private high-speed network.
Perth three game enthusiasts set up their own private high-speed network last year.
It is said to be twice as fast as NBN, and they are selling the online service for about the same price as NBN.
(psychological Shadow area for requesting NBN)
01. Save the Australian network? Perth 3 game enthusiasts develop a private network, twice as fast as NBN
In Perth, three game enthusiasts were plagued by NBN speeds, according to Daily Mail. "it's too slow for us to play games," said one of the founders of Stephen Cornish,Pentanet, saying: "it's too slow for us to play." So about 18 months ago, Stephen, together with two of his game friends, decided to set up their own private high-speed network, called Pentanet..
Pentanet now provides the majority of Perth residents with the basic speed of 50mb/s, compared with the 25 MB NBN, which is only half the speed of Pentanet. "our Pentanet is faster, more stable and more affordable," he said. Now our basic plan is A $79 a month, which is consistent with NBN. "
It is understood that Pentanet's pricing is based on the purchase of a 24-month-old network service at a standard installation cost of A $200. Pentanet said it would require customers to install a small plate on the roof to receive signals through numerous signal transmission towers scattered across Perth. A private network connected to Pentanet.
02. NBN slow, geek? Game enthusiasts: "this pot is not on our backs!"
NBN is not only slow, but also CEO likes to throw pot!
According to Daily Mail, NBN's chief executive, Bill Morrow, said at a parliamentary hearing on the 5th last month that online gamers were a major cause of slow and congested NBN networks. As a result, he revealed that the company is planning to introduce a "fair use policy" in order to "crack down" on users who make heavy use of traffic.
Morrow also said earlier that he was considering limiting download traffic to users during peak periods of network use. He said that the demand for bandwidth when playing games is a stable streaming process. However, the (ACMA), Australia's Communications and Media Authority, said 2016 data showed more of the increase in data transmission in Australia as a result of downloading video.
In response, Labor Party communications spokesman Stephen Jones said NBN had significantly underestimated the demand for the Internet and future growth among Australian online consumers. In addition, a spokesman for Communications Minister Mitch Fifield said: NBN needs to take the necessary steps to ensure future online consumption in Australia, rather than shifting the cause of the problem to consumers.
03. NBN, apart from slow, will throw away the pot, and installation costs may be millions of oh!
A couple who live less than 100km from Melbourne's CBD were told they would have to pay up to A $1.2 million to get access to their home from (NBN), the national broadband network.
According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, IT consultant Alistair Stewart, who lives in Jam Jerrup in southeastern Melbourne, often works from home and hopes to upgrade to NBN's fiber-optic technology because he is unhappy with the wireless services available in his home.
But NBN Co, the company in charge of launching the service, told him his installation would cost between A $ eight hundred thousand and A $1.2 million because his house was seven kilometers from the nearest junction.
Stewart, who revealed the issue in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, said he was shocked by the number. "it's crazy," he said. "NBN wants you to shut up and accept the current Internet speed. It's impossible to install the fiber. That's how I feel. "
But a spokesman for NBN told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that it was unrealistic to install only seven kilometers of fiber for a family. He said the company installed optical fiber for individual homes at a maximum distance of about 2 km.
NBN confirmed that it is true that installing a new fiber-optic connection in Stewart's property could cost more than A $800,000.
Last year, a Kunzhou customer living in Shaw paid more than A $ two hundred and sixteen thousand nine hundred and ninety nine to give NBN fiber access to their property, according to sources.
The second most expensive bill was a client living in Ravenswood, who spent A $90,999, and a bowling club in Invermay, which paid A $86,999 for fiber-optic services. A home in Kingston paid A $55,999. All of these places are in the state of Tahrena.
04. Why is the Australian government powerless when NBN is so "willful"?
As a monopoly state-owned enterprise, NBN has been highly valued and supported by Australian political parties and governments. So the Australian regulator swung: agree that all reasonable investments in line with the NBN guidelines for Network Design will be allowed by default-in order to improve the quality of life of the population.
In addition, the Australian government is said to intend to sell the company in 2021, when NBN is fully completed. This means that the government will have to fattening the calf NBN so that it can sell for a good price and recover its huge public investment.
So now it can be understood that no matter how slow and how expensive the NBN is, the network system will continue to be installed and run.
05. Editor's conclusion
Speaking of Australia's NBN, the vast majority of Australians are really suffering. In the final analysis, this is because monopolies lack competition in the market.
Here, the editor also hopes that NBN can improve its own network system, improve the speed of the network, and provide better services for the majority of users.
