Photos: NBN Co network termination units

Why does the blog that report links to sound like a sales pitch?

Is it because after we've paid for it TWICE (once via taxes, the second by relatively expensive payments that should be cheaper), and an "unbiased" blog is the only way they're going to sell it?

Or is that just the pessimistic cynic in me talking?

Because he wouldnt have been allowed to take the photos if it didnt.

No we didnt, we paid for the current broadband in our phone bills.

And they did become much cheaper.

They're going to try the much more effective route of ripping out the copper network instead.

The only choice you will have is the NBN or wireless.

Hopefully the ACCC will tell them to go an f*ck themselves on that and the clowns wont be able to get that thru parliament.

Just the ingnorance in you talking.

How hot does a heat sink have to get to require a "High Temperature" warning?

Sylvia.

Thats a laser warning sticker. Not heat sink.

I beg to differ. There is a laser warning sticker there, but there is also one that is clearly marked "Caution High Temperature".

Sylvia.

Ah yep you are right, I was looking at the first pic that shows a warning sticker on the outside of the box.

OMG, they want to put laser guns into our *homes*???!!!

Already there in cd players and such.

Gosh!

OK - a different take on this. If the heatsink gets hot enough to require a high temperature warning, and there's space for the label, why not just use a bigger heatsink?

Of course, it may still be hot enough to require the warning. In which case, do you make it smaller and even hotter in order to have room for the label?

Sylvia.

Or the label doesnt take up any heatsink space, stupid.

This is the Liberal Solution for Wireless Broadband

Labor's solution:

In the images as presented it certainly appears that the heat sink could have been made bigger, if the sticker weren't there, though I'll concede that that space may be occupied by the lid or base (depending on what we're looking at).

You dont know that.

(depending on what we're looking at).

And you dont even know that a bigger heatsink that would still fit wouldnt have still required the label anyway.
