As an Australian, I’m afflicted with two things: Living in a deadly paradise full of Drop Bears, Hoop Snakes and Cassowaries. Only one of these is fake. Terrible internet, crippled by the ridiculous decisions of multiple corrupt governments. They installed “Fibre to the Node”, or VDSL. The technology that New Zealand had had for decades and nobody in their right mind would deploy these days. Second-generation systems (VDSL2; ITU-T G. [Read More]
