Until 1986, the majority of long-distrance telephony was carried around Australia on Microwave bearers. They started in the 60's as analogue, but were upgraded to Digital before 1985. They suffered no significant latency problems over coax-cable or direct copper pairs.<br><br>The public carrier broadcast/mobile 4G networks do have very poor latency performance. This is well documented.<br><br>I've seen no figures for the fixed point-point connections used by NBN Co, so I can't comment.<br><br>They have a much lower contention ratio per radio segment. I'd hope that this means better latency.<br><br>As an access network designed for fixed shared data, I expect the NBN Co engineers have done design work to limit latency issues.<br><br>Great observation. thanks for the comment<br><br>steveSteve Jenkinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16064724730975745470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1777177917540226839.post-41300009309140561932013-09-02T11:59:59.430+10:002013-09-02T11:59:59.430+10:00Wireless is hell only good for those that do jacks...Wireless is hell only good for those that do jackshit online.

The high-demand users can't be separated out, we get DSL-hell AND higher prices.

I expect that's all out the window as well. No expectation of falling internet costs under Turnbull's plan. That would fit in with what you've outlined here.David Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290659392646324698noreply@blogger.com
