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.

Nah I quite clearly meant fibre is faster than the speed of light, Einstein told me this himself at Bang the other night whilst cranking some parkway drive and dilating time.
Far less maintanance than the current ADSL network, don't take my comparison out of context and turn it into something general.
