this was supposed to end up a youtube rant video that i wrote the script out for awhile ago, but i’m lazy and never remembered to record it the next day, so eh
Ayyyyyye something to talk about
Asai Fubuki here with some garbage brought to you straight from the internet, relating to my own country, Australia. So if people don't know by now, Aussie internet makes everybody think that Dial-up is the fastest shit in the business, granted it was at one point in time, but we are way past that, anyway back on track, I was scrolling through fb doing my thing of ignoring every post until something stood out, oh boy did it stand out, as you could probably guess it has to do with the internet. Now I don't know how much the rest of the world knows nor do I really know how fast the rest of the worlds internet is. But we haven't got the greatest, I mean it still lets us do all the internet things, but it doesn't really do fantastic. I don't believe I've had a lot of problems with internet apart from the fact I'd like to stream. Regardless we were and have received a thing called NBN (national broadband network) which is just an upgrade to the wiring and such allowing company's to offer what is supposed to be up to 1Gigabit per second, again not sure how that compares to the rest of the world, in true Aussie style I can't be fucked to google that. However as I said, I was scrolling fb and a post caught my eye, it was titled "Aussies don't want Super-fast internet and wouldn't use it even if it was free, says NBN CEO" This is an article from Buzzfeed, but googling "nbn CEO says we don't want fast internet" came up with a bunch of sites effectively the same thing, I usually take these sites with a grain of sand because I don't know how true the info is. Regardless, MR CEO, if you are offer free fucking NBN sign me the fuck up with that one Gigabit speed please! I'll use it. The article claims that we don't want super fast broad band and wouldn't use it, even if it were offered free. WHO THE FUCK did you even question for this, fucking soccer mum's and dissapointed fathers? Like dead set, the amount of people I see using the internet on more than a daily basis after work, school and heck most of them use it while there in those places, I'm guilty, whatever. It's just insane to think that it isn't an integral part of what is the future, is fucked, I mean I guess I use integral lightly here as I mostly like the word, but half use the meaning, Iunno, work that one out. But even so, while correct in the idea it mightn't ever be need to be at 1gb, it would always, always be nice to have quality of life upgrades, being able to quote stream four HD shows live unquote would be phenomenal as people are quite enthralled in shows, heck if my family had a say I'm sure they'd binge watch every show in the world given a chance.
If given the opportunity I'm sure a lot of people, gamers, youtubers, streamers, the people that just stream randomly to Facebook and even other sites, from their own home, to either just make people laugh or share their own story, iunno I believe I'm dribbling shit here. Regardless my message on this part is at least this CEO man is retarded, much like the Australian government. But hey they don't care, they are rich and old, woo.
Wow, did I get off topic there, my apologies if you are still watching.
So as I am seeing they have capped the speed at 100megabits per second, which doing a quick calculation and then googling to make sure it's correct, not 100% sure btw, is a 10th the speed we could and should be accessing, the CEO has gone and said something along the lines of we have given it to the retailers and it's their choice not to sell that to the consumers, which is wrong because like, it's fucked why, I'd try and argue this but as I know the prices they put on this kinda shit, I would be fighting a brick wall, made of brick and swords, like I could then argue if you gave it to us at a standard price, you know, make it the norm, I'm sure it would be 100% fine, but as I was raised, I then consider resources and such it would take for all that and as I don't work in that field I haven't a single clue what it takes. Legitimately barely floating on a large pile of straws here.
Regardless I felt it required to at least talk about it, as a person who has wanted to get into streaming and video making its been difficult, especially with home arrangements, that's slightly less so as of now, but still, it's almost 4am when I'm writing this script.
I just don't like the idea that he's all like Australia doesn't want this, we've only probably asked some people from a Capitol city and they're all probably middle aged or elderly people because we can't trust the youngin's to provide us a decent answer. It doesn't tell me the people they asked, be it age group, gender blah blah blah. It merely says this "we asked the question: has anybody actually used that amount of bandwidth? The answer was unanimously 'no'". Now that a stupid question, no one has had the fucking chance to mess around with such bandwidth, everybody is accustomed to what we already have, a metric fuckton of people I know we're all looking forward to NBN, we still will use the 1 tenth of what you said we could have, but that's because it's what we can get. Also quote he thinks Australians don't want to pay more for faster internet they're not going to use endquote, while it's fair to say that it's because not only does everything ever cost an arm and a leg already you's would probably end up charging god knows how much for it, instead of making it accessible to the people you created it for. It's bad enough that people are generally moving out with friends just to pay the bills, because there are more of them to pay, but others prices go up, I'm sure a lot of people work only a single job and still get by, or even none, but there are quite a few out there that work multiple jobs just to get by.
Bleh, so many people would literally just like the idea of having that much available to them, like I know I would, I'd love to happily stream without fear of internet problems while my partner watches all her art videos and various other stuff. It'd be great, you know I could have a bunch of friends over and we could all smash out some games of Overwatch,League and whatever other games people are playing at the time. I'm sure families would love the idea that the kids can watch their stuff which keeps them quite on a solid internet connection while the parents do whatever they do on the internet, I know my mum just browses Facebook streams to see what numpties are streaming for the night.
I'm sure I could safely say that Australia does in fact want faster internet, we have many gamers, streams and various other content creators that use the same platforms to share their work and such. It's kinda stupid to think that we as a country don't want to move forward with time, just because we might not ever use something, I mean fuck, what if a scientist needed that faster speed to I don't know research a strand of DNA 0.1 seconds faster as the thing they've been trying to find might've decayed before they got the chance, tbh that's a load of shit but it sounded very nice in theory.
In conclusion, it's something we want, I hope you's don't take our other leg for it and I mean fuck, you offer it for free, sign me the fuck up, I'll see you's in the next video whenever that is, for now though, goodbye
