The Coalition has pledged to deliver cheaper and faster broadband sooner than Labor, saving nearly $10 billion from current government projections but leaving telco experts divided over which major political party's national broadband policy is the best for Australia's short and long-term future.

The Coalition policy promises to use a combination of fibre optics and existing copper cabling to deliver a minimum of 25 megabits per second download speeds to suburban homes. It will roll out fibre to high-demand businesses and greenfield estates.

Many telco experts Fairfax Media spoke to on Tuesday believed Labor's NBN was the best solution in the long term, as it future-proofed broadband infrastructure and could be easily upgraded to higher speeds. But, in the short term, many believed the Coalition plan could be more suitable, considering the construction delays Labor has faced.
