Good lord ricecrackers, just stop fucking posting.

irony

Irony is posting on the internet claiming that faster internet is unnecessary.

:lol: really? thats some kind of logic you have there

did you consider that perhaps i might be satisfied with the current service?

Did you consider that perhaps your satisfaction doesn't mean that other people don't have greater requirements and you don't dictate the needs of this country? It's no real surprise that you're so incredibly self-centered.

As Paladisious said, many companies require faster internet for projects. Many first world countries are experiencing rapid advances in technology which will inevitably see Australia left behind in the event that we don't make significant upgrades in the near future. Australia's capability to engage in large scale design projects and media production (among other things) are relying on us keeping up with these nations.

Not to mention the advent of the 3D printer will become increasingly reliant on high speed internet to download increasingly detailed printing instructions at practical speeds.

The idea that Australia isn't compatible with first world technologies because you think the current internet is 'adequate' for your own personal use is abhorrent. I'm sure 10 years ago you thought that dial-up internet was perfectly adequate speed for your requirements, but changes in technology have seen dial-up rendered entirely obsolete. If that trend continues, Australia relying on the current internet speeds is going to be nothing short of embarrassing.

your whole response is based on opinion. no facts, no data at all.

3D printing and video production... your entire premise or perhaps its one you've copied and pasted is that the Australian economy will be rescued by video production and 3D printing. seriously it sounds like you've been listening to some tech nerd silicon valley snake oil sales pitch

the latter of which, it is highly dubious file sizes will be so large it will make any difference at all.
this is not a business case. you probably dont even know what a business case is.

what are you going to 3D print anyway? more plastic shit we dont need?
what is the point of faster internet to send data files for something that is going to be mass produced?

you're talking out of your backside.

add to that, if industry requires it, industry can pay for it

you only want it so you can download game of thrones faster

I work with a lot of plans and complex 2D models that take hours to absorb. A lot more efficient project delivery in infrastructure would be possible with more advanced information systems.

your post doesnt make any sense.

we're talking about networks.

A system is part of a network :)

i'm struggling to comprehend your version of the english language but i'll attempt to break down what you've written piece by piece


absorb? is that a technical term? absorb to where? to your brain?


a lot more efficient project delivery.... ok but then it went pear shaped when you said "in infrastructure"
what are you on about? project delivery in infrastructure...what does that even mean?


advanced information systems? so you're telling me you were actually talking about networks now? not your servers, your applications, databases etc?

how do you currently receive these files?

I get 250 PDF's I then have to sort.

Looking at 1 thing is a lot easier than trying to connect 250 in your mind.

i meant how do you currently receive them? what delivery method?

ricecrackers sounds like one of those baby boomers who's against any technological change/advancement

Every time I read a ricecrackers post, the idea of joining Al-Queda becomes more tempting.

By Raven :)

so you have no internet at all? you're not connected to the phone network?
perhaps you should move out of your medieval castle

you present a false dichotomy
i'm against the taxpayer funding fiber down every street in the country

No you asked a question you knew the answer to so you got a stupid response for asking a stupid question :)

i didnt know the answer
there's actually several possible options you could've given

off the top of my head...

a) courier or post delivered via disk, flash drive, DVD/CD etc
b) sent via email
c) uploaded/downloaded via a file share
d) peer to peer transfer

You're against progress.

so pissing away $50 billion of taxpayer funds is progress in your mind?

What would you spend the 50 billion on?

i dont know... how about:

- tax cuts
- pension
- nuclear energy research and power plant development

Fighter jets

I'd spend it on getting a Batman.

That'd be sick.

assuming we already have health and education budgeted for. a pension that older people and disabled could live on comfortably would be a less burden on the health system. maybe you dont care about such people and merely want your movies to download faster?

education doesnt need billions of dollars thrown at it to make it better. these kinds of assumptions are bunk.

tax cuts would benefit the economy, they always do

what do you think nuclear energy research is? you wouldnt call that scientific?

we have the largest deposit of uranium in the world, we export it but dont use any of it ourselves.

it would also bring energy supply back into the hands of the government hence we wont get fleeced by energy companies exploiting an infrastructure monopoly.

dont you think that might be good for the economy?

do you want to save the planet or not?

other renewables require massive subsidies and they're inefficient. this has been proven time and again.

cheaper energy + tax cuts for all industry vs video production

choice is simple for me
