The NBN’s huge fixed costs require that nearly every Australian household subscribe to the network in order for it to be financially viable. However, as more homes abandon the NBN in favour of wireless options, including 5G mobile and Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet system, the NBN’s fixed expenses are shared across a diminishing subscriber
Sure, as long as you don’t need upload speed. That’s apparently a premium business-class feature.
@zurohki You can get 1000/400 if you really need it. Speed costs money, typically $9.00/day (Launtel). The use case for more than 50Mbps upload is limited.
With cloud services pushing their online file storage, remote workers loading and saving files to company systems and video conferencing, the use cases for upload speed are more common than they’ve ever been. NBN Co have decided to class it as a business feature and price it accordingly.
