Give it a break Leaddie.

The “multi-mix technology” is a huge basket case. It was meant to save money, all it has done has given us a handicapped, inconsistent system with no longevity - and it’s turned out to be just as expensive. In ten years time we’ll be back at square one.

One of the first steps was to purchase the Optus cable infrastructure for hundreds of millions of dollars to use. They bought it, then discovered it was completely incapable of doing the job - so they scrapped it. Hundreds of millions of taxpayers’ money wasted buying a piece of sh**. Optus laughing all the way to the bank.

FTTP nationwide was the right solution. The cheapest/fastest option always costs the most in the long term.

Pay peanuts, get monkeys.
