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.

Samuel ⏳ (@osborne_sam) reported@ItsMissShorty @robb_j_m Just want to help you with your terminology. Wifi (802.11x) is free, it’s the technology between the router/modem and your device. NBN or Internet service provider is the ongoing cost. You can use NBN and not use Wifi, you plug a network cable between the router and your computer. If you hotspot your phone or have a 5G hotspot device, that still uses Wifi between that device and the other devices connected to it. You’re still using Wifi if you have multiple devices using the mobile data. All you’ve changed is the internet connection from being NBN (which is typically fibre, phone line, or point to point wireless (not WiFi) - and maybe the latter is what you go rid of and have conflated the two different wireless technologies. Considering you are likely still using Wifi, and now also 5G, health benefits aren’t improved. A healthier alternative is NBN or Starlink and cable connection (but obviously phones and many devices don’t support cables).

Scott 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇦 (@skinthent) reported@ruicharadrius If your wifi is bad, get a different AP. It is exactly the same wifi standards used globally. Or do you mean your internet connection? That isn't wifi. I have FTTP NBN. It works fine.

Persian (@BSepsyy) reported@NBN_Australia hey can you fix the internet in Sinnamon Park already…
-
Never vote LNP. (@LNPvoterfail) reported@derf17k LNP would have destroyed my Super given half a chance. As with NBN, NDIS, the car industry, refineries, environment.... Just **** right off @der17k
-
Matt Henderson (@MattxH) reported@BanderaBeau @BikoKonstantin1 @AlboMP It doesn’t work because each government is interested in keeping power that the next government wouldn’t implement the next step. Massive changes like this can only get over the line if the solution is obvious & unanimous. Even then one single government can **** things up eg NBN
-
Mark Fermor (@MFurball) reported@Michz45 And you seem to think giving the government more money will actually benefit those services. Why do you think the gov does not get involved in baking bread? Because it would taste **** and cost $100 per loaf. That's your Medicare, NDIS and nbn to name a few
-
stephen humble (@stephenhumble11) reported@DavidLeyonhjelm I will be happy if they cancel AUKUS or NDIS or the NBN.

paullyj57 FMD **** AUST (@paullyj57) reported@MrKRudd @AsiaSociety @AsiaSocietyJP 200 billion for nbn that is useless and no one uses. Iv been using mobile network for 15 years for data. Faster and cheaper than nbn. And now starlink which is even faster and unlimited fast data for $69 pm. Labor have mortgaged your kids future for votes. Frauds and corrupted
-
The InfraDev (@theinfradev) reported@malimber01 @robb_j_m What are you talking about. The NBN was created from nothing and only cost so much in the end because it was saddled with Telstra's **** copper infra by the libs and had to essentially build it twice.
-
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.
-
Pelli69 (@pelli_69) reportedanyone else with @Optus ? Have spent almost 6 hours with them online today trying to arrange an NBN service for when I move, transferred to numerous different agents only to have them tell me thay cant help me as originally promised. @Telstra here I come
-
The Noisy Elephant (@TheNoisyTrunk) reported@Goyoubays @bob_parto You are such an uninformed ****** that we'd bet you support One Nation, you dim cooker. The original NBN planned and started by Labor was FTP all the way and was NEVER going to be funded by the telcos, you idiot bath scum ring. The Libs ****** it by changing it with their "Technology Agnostic" prayer using a cobbled together FTN. Go back to bed and fiddle with yourself like you were before you posted your dimwitted, uneducated reply. Take tissues. ******* idiot.
-
nigel (@nigel15026948) reported@news_australian None stuffed NBN. Many farmers still have very little service, look at how much snowy 2 has and is continuing to cost.
-
Follower of fascination (@FcukGogle) reported@Ozzytourer The only thing that Labor has done that has worked if fixing the ******* mess they made with the NBN but in typical Labor fashion they want the internet to be censored because of "protecting kids" Well at least there's now an entire generation that'll never vote for the *****.
-
Funkdoctor (@Docsthename) reportedI think Telstra is having relationship issues with NBN which is delaying my divorce with Telstra 😤
-
Harold ☢️🔥🏭⚛️ (@Harold36089778) reported@MarkoMatvikov Even worse: Labor writes new laws to force super to invest in “building back Aus” like Melb-Syd high speed rail or upgrading NBN. When competition policy allowing global carriers to compete on the Melb-Sydney flight would drive costs down & Starlink is outcompeting NBN today.
-
John the Baptist (@JohntheBapt1ser) reported@ruicharadrius This is the most retarded tweet I’ve ever seen. A) falsely thinks WiFi is “the internet” B) doesn’t realise Aussie mobile coverage is some of the best in the world C) NBN is good now. My guess is your WiFi router is crap or too small for your house
-
Erick (@Erick0341) reported@KathleenWinche3 NBN, **** happens when you’re stupid.
-
Tze-wei Chong 🇦🇺🧢 (@Tze_C) reported@GeoffWilsonWAM @theAZtrader @ausgov Fully agree. Other than new property development which should still be benefit for housing supply. Poor structural reform that will impact future generations and brain drain Australia. Funding via NDIS / NBN restructure would have been far easier and more beneficial
-
Hardware Unboxed (@HardwareUnboxed) reportedAll this talk about personal computing dying and what not, I (Steve) decided to try GeForceNOW (Australia) Ultimate using Wireless NBN, Starlink and 5G. My review is this: It's really bad, f@&ing sucks. Thank you for your time.
-
koi (@itkoi) reportedvodafone better send someone out to fix my nbn box i swear to ****
-
🌸Lynae 🟪⬜️🟩 (@lynaem88) reported@Telstra my nbn isn’t working the Telstra modem is working perfectly fine. is it a me issue or a nbn issue.
-
Brad (@Bradstr01) reported@SimonBanksHB “Modelling shows” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Labor modelling also gave us $275 lower power bills, mining tax revenue, a surplus and NBN timelines that never arrived. Publish the assumptions, not just the headline. Young Australians deserve evidence, not spin.
-
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.
-
Patrick Houston (@PetrucHouston) reported@news_australian No losers, we want Pauline. Stop trying to pave the way for the election fraud that controls this shitshow. Over 100%? Wtf does that even mean? Perfect NBN? Are you fkn serious? He’s a WEF globalist shill.
-
Bill (Blagoyce - Pronounced "Blagoyche") Anakiev (@BILLTHEDJ) reportedThank you to the NBN/Optus for restoring my internet connection at full speed. For the past 2 months it was working at woeful speeds. I was initially told it was a problem at my end 3 times but it seems the complaining from my end caused action for them to investigate and fix.
-
Stuart the Catman (@CatManSturty) reported@algorithmsayshi Seems to be a common issue with the NBA league pass and NBN providers sadly.
-
My handle was funnier when it was less believable. (@AIproject6) reported@wilburston @robb_j_m I highly doubt any satellite service is better than NBN unless you're literally not in the coverage area.

Stefan Tapp (@StefanVXR8) reported@NBN_Australia @iiNet Why is my internet connection like something from a 3rd world country? The connection is up and down like a prostitutes knickers! I live in Empire Bay, NSW, not feckin Outback Australia!!
