The Labor party says the NBN should be FTTH and the 100Mbit/1Gigabit top download speeds offered are future proof, whereas the Coalition has argued that it should be FTTN and 100mbit speeds are overkill.

Businesses in Australia who deal with large numbers of big files like photographers, designers, architects and animators can only use automated cloud storage backup if they’re willing to leave their computer on all the time so it can slowly backup data overnight and the next day.

This is frustrating for the business people involved, causes unnecessary wear and tear of computer components and wastes electricity as the computers are left on for far longer than they need to be used by a person.

The high NBN upload speeds of 5, 20 and 40Mbits will enable individuals and businesses to make use of automated offsite cloud backup services much more effectively than ADSL2+/Cable currently allows because data will be finished being fully backed up much sooner after it is created.

"If a clean VM (one in which no customer code has executed) times out its GA connection three times in a row, the HA decides that a hardware problem must be the cause since the GA would otherwise have reported an error. The HA then reports to the FC that the server is faulty and the FC moves it to a state called Human Investigate (HI). As part of its standard autonomic failure recovery operations for a server in the HI state, the FC will service heal any VMs that were assigned to the failed server by reincarnating them to other servers. In a case like this, when the VMs are moved to available servers the leap day bug will reproduce during GA initialization, resulting in a cascade of servers that move to HI."
