I guess the logic is that for a pretty low cost they'll attract new business to Brisbane with high speed broadband
I think it is quite a stupid idea in light of the NBN coming to parts of Brisbane as early as next year (unless this has changed since the bush men got their way).
But it does perhaps point out that things can be done in different ways. There is not just my way on the highway approach that others would have us believe.
Mate, you'll be smokin' GAGR at 100Mbps. I am jealous. Where's mine?

If hosting was affordable in this country, or at least competitive, I'd move gagr to sydney and it'd fly without an nbn
I find it interesting that it's assumed FTTN will make everyone's internet massively faster. High bandwidth does not equal low latency. Speed at the edge doesn't help if the backhaul and exchange links are not adequately provisioned. The majority of content is hosted overseas. Servers are often a bottleneck. And worse of all, many web pages are loading a ton of advertising junk in the background, fetched off shitty overloaded servers.

It is the single greatest plugin on the InternetThank you Moses.
The network and routers are often the choke point and the servers and storage are quite often nearly idle.
All I can say Naza, is for the apps we run and those I have run in the past, it's almost always the network that's the bottleneck and apps that aren't written for deployment over a WAN or the Internet. We do all sorts of tricks with QoS, scheduling, thin clients, acceleration etc, but they don't always work. My network costs are the single biggest budget item I have. More than hardware and more than salaries. Our NetAPP and HP gear are rarely more than 25% utilised.

Moses, what do you recommend for Internet Explorer?
I have to say, Scotty, your negativity depresses me. There is really nothing about this business initiative that could possibly please you. A crucial nation building initiative such as this should not be the subject of such patently partisan game playing.
