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
@No1 I don’t believe any such ‘death spiral’ exists. Starlink is a last resort due to cost and latency. It’s better than a broken cabled feed. 5G suffers from limited area availability and time slice contention when more users are added, as is the case with all wireless systems.
NBN FTTH is an unbeatable value and a total performance beast. @zurohki
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.
