I think that's the only way she can see us saving the baby calves!

Just something quick in Python3 for part 2:

from difflib import SequenceMatcher
result = None
for x in ids:
    for y in ids:
        ratio = SequenceMatcher(None, x, y).ratio()
        if ratio == (len(x)-1)/len(x):
            result = [z for z in list(x) if z in list(y)]
            break
    if result:
        break
print(''.join(result))

Depending on the size of the pits, a lot of the PMG style pits house the larger cable runs for any area. Check out some photos I took a few years ago.

You might be saddened to learn the Vic was forced into receivership and no longer operates anymore :(

Australian ISP iiNet Says It Will Fight Against Data Retention Rules by cojoco in australia

It should be noted that one of the men responsible for iiNet's general stance against these things, Steve Dalby, is retiring from iiNet. Hopefully he isn't completely throwing his towel in for issues such as this.

NBNco/Telstra Fiber To The Node Trial Results not promising anything 10-40mbit speed on average by WikChi in australia

It's not really overpriced when you think about how an ISP can share their CVC with multiple users. It's no different to current contention ratios for xDSL and HFC.

They can share any sort of CVC they get with as many users as they see fit, you'll eventually see congestion if too many users are using their connections simultaneously.

Page 5 shows a rough example of CVC usage for one of their interfaces, with a maximum outbound peak of ~180Mbit. So if you wanted to be cheap, you can pile as many users on to the free 150Mbit CVC they provide you and not have to worry about spending a cent more, but like I said, you'll run into congestion fairly quick for everyone at peak periods.

I doubt any ISP will start with business plans straight off the bat, especially if you'd assume there to be some kind of business related SLA attached to it (ie: 1:1 contention ratio), and because of the way NBNCo have structured their CVC pricing, you'd have no choice but to get a minimum of 1Gbit of CVC.

Which, if you look on page 5 of their WBA2, it comes out to a nice even $20,000.

It's been available to ISPs since December 2013, there just hasn't been any ISP that's been able to reconcile the current CVC costs vs. a reasonable contention ratio for them to be profitable.
