FTTN Design Rules flaw proven to be true

As we highlighted what Kenneth Tsang had pointed out with the issues with the NBN Design Rules for FTTN, this prediction has become true as pointed out in this article on Delimiter:

Last week, former Communications Minister Stephen Conroy revealed Labor had received about 60 complaints from early adopters of the Fibre to the Node technology which the Abbott and Turnbull Governments have introduced to the National Broadband Network rollout.

The complainants typically see initial solid speeds through their new FTTN connections, but eventually, as their neighbours also start adopting the new platform, speeds start slowing to unusable levels during peak periods such as after business hours and on weekends.

A number of the complainants have directly called for the return of their previous ADSL broadband service, which was delivering them more consistent speeds.

Looks like there is a bit of fine tuning on the design required – perhap provision more than a single gigabit backhaul link to each node?
