    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-05-29/the-accc-alleges-sony-misled-gamers2c-refused-to-refund-faulty/11160442

    Under Australian Consumer Laws, if a product or service has a major fault then the customer is entitled to a repair, replacement, or full refund [the customers choice]. Refunds must be issued in the original payment method, meaning that offering store credit as a refund for a purchase made via cash/credit is not allowed unless requested/agreed to by the customer. Additionally under Australian Consumer Law, the store you purchased the goods from are not allowed to redirect the customer to the manufacturer (game developer in this case) for resolution.
     
    There's a pretty strong precedent set for this in Australia after the successful court action ACCC took against Valve's Steam store for failing to provide refunds for digital purchases. Steam were required to change their refund policy which forced Valve to offer refunds on items purchased on the Steam digital store. Steam also had to pay $3 million in fines as well as provide a notice on its website (au) notifying customers of their consumer rights.

    The Notice which was displayed on the Steam website: (Since removed)

    The Steam court case went for a number of years and included failed appeals from Valve, so don't hold your breath for any changes over night. However, as this progresses there's a pretty good chance that refunding games bought on the PlayStation Store, and probably other digital games stores as well, will become a little bit easier.

    So cut perf about 60% or more to get more realistic reflections... I think not, at least for a fps. And this certainly doesn't reflect the price.

    kiska3 got a reaction from mr moose in Australian gamers blamed for slow internet   
    The job of NBN was to improve infrastructure and provide everyone with a minimum of 25 mbps connection speed by the end of 2016. We can see how that went.
     
    At the same time make enough money for the government so that it can't be included in the budget, otherwise the deficit would be bigger than it currently is.
     
    NBNCo has to get $52 from every user(ARPU - average revenue per user) for it to be profitable(enough), which means charging for things such as CVC(aka bandwidth), AVC(connection cost), datacentre costs, installation costs, etc etc.
     
    Now I have posted a few analysis from last year that should still be valid today since the new pricing construct is not in place, I believe they come into effect on the 1st of July 2018.

    Actually if labor had their way 93% of Australia would be on Fibre to the Premises, so the bottleneck would have become ISP's ability to purchase enough bandwidth. Then the 2013 election happened and Malcolm went on about how he would do it "cheaper, faster, sooner" or some variant of that slogan, and now here we are with MTM(aka Multi-technology Mix(aka Malcolm Turnbulls Mess)). And now we have 26% FTTP, 44% FTTN/dp/B and 30% on HFC. However those numbers are somewhat misleading since they are from the 2013 strategic review, and have changed.
    Labor had scenario 1 and 2, liberal(coalition) had scenario 3, 4, 5, and 6. As you can probably tell, those costs have ballooned
