Could just as well be NBNco in Australia

Rogers in Canada?

I believe Rogers are running DOCSIS-over-Sewage, the competing cable standard.

Sewer are properly buried, Rogers cables are just thrown around with maybe a bit of dirt on top of it was a good day. I redid a wall in my backyard last year that is close to a Rogers box, I removed ~15 old cut cables from the ground.

Nawh, they're using ATM over finches. Those squeaks and chirps you hear outside are actually your packets.

I’m surprised they didn’t stick with the standard RFC 2549

Latency and packet loss. And finches take less feed.

Man if there's one thing I can credit bell for, is that they really pushed for fiber. Before we had bell fibe here (for a shockingly reasonable price) in Montreal, we were stuck with absolute trash DOCSIS for so long. Every time the revisions increased ,the speeds would be nominally faster but in reality came with trash stability and peak time performance.

I'm sure DOCSIS is great for what it is, and in fact it's extremely impressive what it can do with existing cable lines, but the second biggest player here (Videotron) basically milked it dry. Again it's weird to praise them but Bell invested in wiring up the entire city and suburbs and I can get 3gbps symmetrical GPON FTTH for the price that 150mbps used to go for not even 3 years ago. I blame DOCSIS in a way because it made players with existing lines extremely complacent
