Pat Caplice (@tassiepatrat) reported@robb_j_m $90 a month. NBN Wireless through Telstra. Good service. Few faults. 6 person house so many devices.
-
Charlie ****** (@charlie_mi53959) reported@TheKouk Including child care, the ABC etc. is only the first bit of where you’re wrong. Even if you include them in your list, they don’t put a dent on white elephants like the NDIS, NBN, and not to mention all the lost tobacco reve— oh, I’m sorry, I forgot you were a retard. Carry on.

Econo ad absurdam (@econoadabsurdam) reportedWhen the ALP talks up something like the NDIS or the NBN and says that it will help increase productivity, what do you think they mean

The Guru’s Wife (@TheGurusWife1) reported@robb_j_m NBN is unreliable in my area. I have Starlink $139 AUD per month Starlink is the only reliable service here

💥Dr Robb 🎓Social conscience? Follow me. No MAGA (@robb_j_m) reportedTo my Aussie friends: Wasn't the idea behind the NBN (National Broadband Network) to ensure that everyone had inexpensive access to the internet? What happened? How much are you paying for internet access?

Carmel Fay (@CarmelFay) reported@robb_j_m Starlink. A satellite connection through the NBN in our rural area was a bit of a nightmare. Starlink is reliable, no limits on usage, and we never get throttled. I'll never go back.

Con! (@c0n_AU) reported@ItsMissShorty @robb_j_m When people refer to NBN/Internet as “WiFi” they’re absolutely Luddites or just too lazy to know what they have/need and don’t deserve any help from those who might.

Michael Brennan (@Michael44814776) reportedNo, nbn has cost far more due to LNP. LNP original costing: Promised $29.5B (2013 election); revised to $41B in Strategic Review. The evidence is that in the caucus , as detailed in Turnbull’s book, Abbott simply wanted LNP to be contrarian about nbn. They stopped the fibre rollout and replaced it with copper. At the time, LNPs message that nbn would go over budget was favoured due to a complicit media. For instance, when the ABC science editor did a comprehensive comparison between labour’s FTTP and LNP copper, the report was spiked until after the election, due to ABC management wanting to appease LNP. Then, under LNP, ABC did not have a science editor. Consider the subsequent dearth of reporting by ABC in following years about the biggest infrastructure project ever. Consider that Turnbull appointed a former business associate to be chair of ABC whilst a Director of NBN snd whilst a ceo of a supplier to NBN with a $100m contract for design and fabrication of copper based distribution boxes, which have subsequently been removed. So there is no surprise that the public were force fed the line that all that glitters is copper. The reality set in when the deterioration of the copper network became apparent to punters. The cost of NBN is now at approx $50B with $54B to 2030 to due to the replacement costs of LNPs copper systems with fibre. So Abbott and Turnbull cost the country many billions not to mention the years of misery and lost productivity by prolonging the copper network.

Explain how would you pay off the $1.2 B debt Libs left On top of that your buddies left $350 B AUKUS NDIS out of control NBN blowout Robodebt debt Snowy blowout $31 B Inland rail blowout I will wait for your solution

Hasaan (@shanihashmi) reported@sharmilafaruqi Pakistan should seriously consider an expanded National Broadband Network (NBN) style rollout similar to Australia’s model. A nationally coordinated fiber backbone could reduce duplication, improve rural connectivity, lower long-term infrastructure costs, and ensure faster, more equal internet access across the country.Private ISPs can still compete at the retail level, but broadband infrastructure itself should be treated as a long-term national strategic investment. At the same time, Starlink licensing should move quickly through the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority. To capture the market, Starlink will likely introduce pricing that is affordable for ordinary people, especially in underserved and remote areas.

Gregory Briscoe-Hough (@GBH0100) reported@news_australian Snowy 22b.0 man has as much credibility as his NBN (no bloody network) rollout achievement… worst Monister ever!!

anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported@THATS_RIGHT_YA @robb_j_m nbn fixed wireless made me pay for 50mbps plan if i wanted to get 25mbps <two mbps faster than the adsl service it replaced> for 4 years, if i dropped to the 25mbps plan would deliver 12.5mbps. took them 6 years to deliver the 100Mbps plans they promised at launch.
-
anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported@LooksDodgy @robb_j_m was on nbn fixed wireless, got tired of the outages and billing issues with my ISP, shifted to starlink. faster, far less outages and almost identical price. as a bonus starlink bills once per month, former isp billed every 28 days. that's nearly $100 a year less.

Dave Jones (@eevblog) reported@impalethevlad It doesn't work like that when the entire business park NBN is down and many thousands of people are suddenly trying to find cellular workarounds.

Ad Bull (@Adakole2Francis) reported@Chude_ND1 @CCSoludo If e sure for them make they try this kind nonsense where NBN dy do their national Convention. Kegite is never and has never been a violent group.

ADAMan 🧫🧠 (@hoskyidiots) reported@craigkellyAFEE @Sauronlordking Free internet would be cheaper than FTA TV FTA TV (FY2025-26) Total estimated annual government expenditure/support on all FTA TV A$1.64 billion NBN Financial year 2025, ended 30 June 2025), NBN Co’s total operating expenses were approximately A$1.6 billion.
-
Susan (@puxiesmt) reported@jeff32567916 @australian He recognised that NBN via wifi (using mobile phone network) is a bad idea, when the mobile phone towers back up battery's go flat (couple if hours) we have no communication at all, we should all still have wired communication but we don't so it's very easy to switch it all off
-
kane (@kanethesaint) reported@eevblog Where is the NBN outage?
-
M (@imboudee) reported@THATS_RIGHT_YA @robb_j_m I doubt that’s a problem with the NBN infrastructure and perhaps more to do with your provider (TPG). I’m not sure what a 20 cm network cable has to do with much. At gigabit speeds I’d suggest a Cat7 network cable, to be sure to be sure. They’re fairly cheap nowadays.
-
daniel (@daniel647543) reported@techAU @robb_j_m It didn't work for everyone. I'm 1.5km by road from my exchange and yet everyone here has ****** wireless NBN, which manages to be both more expensive and slower than Starlink, with somehow higher pings than sending a signal to space and back. Everyone has Starlink here now.
-
Salvator Mundi (@thelostleonardo) reported@EnergyWrapAU NBN generates revenue and pays down its costs over time. How can you compare that to NDIS which is a huge ongoing cesspool of fraud and waste.
-
StainlessSteelMan (@Rowen72600346) reported@mark16pg It was supposed to be a cheaper alternative to batteries, turns out batteries came down in price, nbn was supposed to do the same with internet and starlink rendered it useless as well.
-
𝒮𝒽❀𝓇𝓉𝓎 (@ItsMissShorty) reported@osborne_sam @robb_j_m Not your reply. Weirdos be replying to me, then blocking me before I can even reply. What in the actual ****? Semantics. I don’t need NBN. Or any kind of home wifi service. My mobile data suffices.
-
anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported@un1v3rs3135 @robb_j_m i'm on slightly more expensive starlink plan, rural village, get 240 mbps down and much faster uploads than fixed wireless nbn for just $9 a month more than i paid for the unstable NBN. has dropped out once for 7 mins in very heavy rain over the last 5 months.
-
StanleyEB27103 (@StanleyEb27103) reported@JayJay1094727 @eevblog It's the other way around really, they would love to provide a service over their own infrastructure at higher margins than wholesaling nbn
-
anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported@robb_j_m abandoned nbn fixed wireless service, so many outages, so many years paying for speeds they could not deliver, local shop could not run eftpos over it, even on a business plan. i'm on starlink now, stable, fast and only $9 a month more than nbn for 4 times the speed.
-
Mary Spy (@mez_spy) reported@AjaxXanthe See if you can get extra mobile data from your provider. We had an NBN issue a couple of years ago & not sorted for more than 2 weeks. We could get additional data on mobiles or a dongle for home
-
Stew Harris (@sjharris) reportedHey @Aussie_BB, why have you charged me today for a cancelled NBN service????
-
Candace Tomlinson (@aukuschampion) reported@EnergyWrapAU That’s okay, the NBN is the most expensive internet on the planet. The NDIS is the most expensive support scheme for disabled people on the planet. But Australians can afford it! Can’t you? Journalists surely can, why else wouldn’t they complain?

James Ladd (@jamesladd) reported@iinet is there an internet outage in Victoria (nbn)?
