More lies and misinformation from the Coalition over the National Broadband Network<\/a> (NBN). They just can’t help themselves, can they?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just caught this tweet from Sussan Ley<\/a>, the Coalition Member for Farrer in Southern New South Wales:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course, this is just patently wrong, and I followed up here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Coalition’s alternative NBN plan – (taken from their released policy document<\/a>) – calls for a deployed network with 71% FTTN, 22% FTTP, 4% wireless, and 3% satellite.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The current NBN plan calls for a deployed network of 93% FTTP, 4% wireless, and 3% satellite.<\/p>\n

This is the same 4% wireless and 3% satellite the Coalition can’t get rid of no matter what happens, because the contracts to deploy and complete<\/i> those parts of the network are already in place.<\/p>\n

That’s why both plans call for the exact same result for the final 7% – with 4% wireless and 3% satellite!<\/p>\n

Under the current plan, areas to receive fibre will have their copper networks decommissioned. The areas with out fibre – (ie: the 7% with wireless or satellite) – get to keep their copper networks – just as they are right now.<\/p>\n

Given that the small towns that Ley is worried about will have exactly the same result<\/i> from the NBN under either<\/i> plan, her assertion that small towns with an exchange can only be upgraded to fibre under the Coalition plan is patently false.<\/p>\n

It’s just bullshit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
