And the other major factor for justifying it is (what a lot of people fail to comprehend, including that religious cook Tony Abbott) is that fibre travels at the speed of light, even in 500yrs when internet is a million times faster these exact same cables will still be in use as they'll never become obsolete. It's been done correctly/planned for the future as opposed to greedy right wing baby boomers planning everything for themselves with no regard for anyone/the next generation.

The potential of data this network can handle is overwhelming, for example: Phones, tv channels, billing, banking, education/any form of data can be utilized through it, it already can but not on a national/global scale. This is a relaible static connection, like 1984 lol.

Saying all that the purpose is completely defeated because we still have "Tony Abbott's" trying to ******* capitalise off tax payer funded hardware therefore implementing data limits that restrict any form of progress this technology can offer.

So there you go a massive utopian worldwide network with uncapped potential for filesharing/socialising completely restricted yet again by right wing pigs.

You can't beat them, they're always going to destroy evolution/progress, may as well ******* vote liberal next time.
Let me make some corrections:

Fibre doesn't travel at all, otherwise it wouldn't work.

The speed of light in a vacuum is calculated at 299,792,458 metres per second. The speed of light in fibre optic cable is quite a bit slower.

Fibre network requires regular maintenance, over its life, as you say 500 years (whatever it may actually be) the NBN fibre cables will be replaced a couple of times over. Not to mention the odd backhoe cutting the link.

Apart from these corrections, most of your response was just ranting and wrong too.
