Launtel has made an interesting submission to the ACCC's ongoing deliberation of NBN's wholesale agreement with RSPs. They feel our pain and want pricing on the "legacy" high speed tiers like 250/100, 500/200 and 1000/400 to drop dramatically. These speed tiers are "attractive to a certain high end residential user" (hello, yes, that's me!) and believe this is "a massive untapped part of the market that could raise NBN's ARPU". The extra upload speeds "cost NBN and RSP almost nothing, given that most data pipes are symmetrical and they are always sized for the download portion". The full submission is only 2 pages and worth a read to understand how ISPs are as pissed off with NBN's half-arsed practices as users are.
