No compassion from telecoms provider

Telecoms in this country is the greatest disgrace I've ever seen, with this mishmash of technologies - when we could have had fibre everywhere at less cost than the joke of an NBN is turning out to be. It's unbelievable in a so-called "smart" country such as ours. Even in France, where they're incapable of communicating anything until the aged carrier-pigeon has had his mid-morning coffee, and then only within local kick-a-football range, it only took me twelve days to get landline, broadband and TV working (all through internet). Certainly, this is a big country with big distances and individual challenges, but it just takes the will to recognise that telecoms are important to people's lives, and the plan for fibre WAS there. But we can spend billions on other things.
