@superaltman of course the filter is a joke, but obviously when it comes to them offering more speed a filter technicaly makes sense because it would mean the speed would be used more efficiently. They arent creating a national broadband network for child porn and beastiality remember.
So what are they offering? ISDN?
funny, and true.
Comedians are the BEST political commentators
@AgentCROCODILE Netscape 1.0 if I am not mistaken.
haha chasers FTW!!
LMAO it’s an old version of Netscape!
Lawl, if Tony Abbott was around a hundred years ago he probably would’ve said that wiring up houses with electricity was a bad idea.
Shame so many people are stupid enough to vote for a party lead by someone like that
Labor’s NBN will be great for those people that dont even have a computer!
@wattlesong Sex is not free in the monetary system, in most cases you need credit to have sex. Bordellos do not work for nothing.
@hiddenpwi
I would, most people that live anywhere near the city can get ADSL2+ now, which generally streams 1080p fine.
I’m all for the national broadband network, however what is the point of giving everyone super fast internet when they are going to filter it to ‘protect’ people.
@kenl68
I doubt you’d be saying that if this video had a 1080p version.
The fact that I can watch this clip without it buffering means that this is more of a dig at the ALPs NBN policy.
The bigger argument about whether Australia should seriously cut carbon emmissions by implementing nuclear power is not even on the agenda. And yes, the longer we wait the more that will cost too. Much MUCH more. Unless you don’t believe that there is climate change in which case, go NBN! Yah!!!
they edited this on tv we saw the buffering bit with numbers here we dont
lol, so true.
I’m sick of dumb policies written by out of touch individuals in regards to Australia’s IT industry. The one shining beacon in all the crap over the years has been the NBN and they want to scrap it? what the…?
First the coalition said it was impossible, now its ahead of schedule and actually under-budget and they want to scrap it?! its something that HAS to be implemented anyway and the more we wait the more it’ll cost! idiots.
I love this show
internet aye…
@s0nicaify mate i dont know what planet you’re on but ive got mates who are engineers and they’re ALWAYS in demand. its a highly skilled, valued profession with only a limited number of people so of course people want to employ at any time.
@yomelbourne first of all why does every single home need to have thousands of dollars spent on it so it can have Internet slightly quicker? the people in the cities who this is going to benefit already have bloody fast internet so why not throw more money at them?
then again maybe labor is going to need the extra speed for all the bogans they’re bribing so they dont get annoyed when the internet censorship they’re introducing slows things down.
@yomelbourne
The Internet is an important issue? What’s wrong with our economy on the international stage? The money “At This Point In Time” could be better spent elsewhere. Spend some time in a public hospital or if you have kids go and have a look at their school, be a pensioner for 12 months, even better come and live in NSW for 1 week!
And the alternative is China-esque filter. We’re all fucked!
@lounzac Internet is one of the important issues as it soon will become the backbone of the economy..if austraia has to compete with other countries, we have got to have an awesome internet and so NBN is a must and labor all the way…this broadband we have now isnt gonna last long at current development rate of technology..with HD more and more available and other high data applications, we need optic fibre..we gonna need it in 5 years anyway so why not start now..LABOR
@togdamo
I AGREE I’m studying engineering & when i graduate i actually want TO LIVE IN a country that’s growing & where jobs are widely available…the last 3 year with a labor government is seeing the civil engineering area FLOURISH with jobs…students have jobs 2 years into their 5 year degrees!!! LABOR ALL THE WAY!
@togdamo
