NBN fails speed test

LABOR says the national broadband network rolled out by the federal government has been a “monumental stuff-up” and voters have a right to be annoyed.

Shadow assistant minister Terri Butler made the comments yesterday in response to news that three in four Australians connected to the NBN via a neighbourhood node would not be able to access its top speeds. “There are so many problems with this NBN, it’s been an absolutely monumental stuff-up,” she said.
