NBN Co uses Whirlpool forum to get pricing message across =========================================================

The company behind building the national broadband network, NBN Co has taken to popular forum, Whirlpool, to supply comprehensive detail on its pricing model.

The forum post has attracted a fair bit of debate from industry pundits such as Internode?s Simon Hackett and NextDC?s Bevan Slattery on various aspects of the pricing structure.

NBN Co spokesperson, Scott Rhodie, said in the forum it took consultation with the industry fairly seriously and wanted to open a new avenue, and transparency through engaging via Whirlpool.

He addressed reasons for the pricing structure and alluded to comments made by NBN Co head of product development and sales, Jim Hassell, that requirements for wholesale pricing was to payback the cost of the network plus generate an appropriate return.

Is not going to be providing fibre optic connections to anyone outside a major urban centre, so I just don't care. And if they think wireless technology can deliver the same claimed speeds, they can pull the other finger and listen to the sound I make. As it is I get ADSL2+ speeds faster than in my peers 'thuh city'.

Thats a lie.

You have always been, and always will be, completely and utterly irrelevant.

They dont.

And it remains to be seen if they get to rip out the copper network and so your ADSL2+ pair.

No, you miss the point as usual. So why do Rutherglen and Chiltern get fibre optic and Barnawatha miss out?

Why? Because I dissagree with your pronouncements?

I know, but that's not what NBN Co is leading the less informed punters to believe. I know people who have to rely on NextG wireless and the coverage is patchy at best and often no better than dial up.

NBNCo isnt doing anything like that, those fools just pig ignorantly claim that.

No one I know who uses that finds that. And thats got nothing to do with what NBNCo will be providing anyway.

Another pig ignorant lie.

I doubt that very much, Captain Slow. You're still totally clueless about how poor the wireless broadband coverage can be in rural areas.
