-
JustMate (@Ruslan11431897) reported@AvidCommentator Starlink is much cheaper…personally I never had NBN and can’t understand why average home user prefers NBN over starlink right now…
-
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.
-
Maximation Max (@maximationmax) reported@Ben_Davison1 Government provides education? Why then are kids paying $40k for an arts degree?. If NBN was a government service rather than a business its expense would be in the budget
-
purana (@purana) reportedBeen trying for weeks now to get a NBN service (FTTN) connected for my mother. But TPG who she was with, and who she had service moved with just gave her the run around. They said it was provisioned, yet no DSL sync light and trying to get that resolved went in circles.
-
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
-
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.
-
Dr Andrew Meyenn (not MD) (@19yma19) reported@TimWilsonMP Lets think: ICAC??, No cuts to ABC/SBS, NBN faster cheaper?? You lot are up to ears in it. The broken promise is at best 25% as it only applies to new builds and you can take the old idea too. Get off the BS cigar mate
-
Tony Hughes (@ArealHughes) reported@AlanBixter Our communications infrastructure system is not good enough. After the Turnbull NBN debacle and massive cost blowouts we still have inferior IT infrastructure. My internet is slow but works OK, however ph reception is woeful and I'm 40'ks from the coast of seventh largest city.
-
Glen (@Petty_Ruxspin) reported@TRILLBlackLos @Cheamane @elroy__preston Didn’t NBN run down on them on stage at some point. Like these happy rappers were still street nyggas at the end of the day.
-
Brian Loffler - #SeventhGenerationPrinciple (@jazzkat) reportedTerrible service from @NBN_Australia One of their field techs accidentally cut off our whole Strata building with a bad telecommunications patch next to the NBN Node. I told the tech (27hours ago) but they went home without fixing it. A Level 2 escalation has yielded nothing. Gr

Tone (@T0ne_aus) reported@HardwareUnboxed Have you tried on wired NBN? It's actually not too bad. (Tested Fortnite on iPad with the Xbox thingy that my son was trying)
-
Titan (@TitanMarsGods) reported@NBN_Australia I need help and my ISP Superloop said you canceled my appointment today. My service has been down all weekend and I need immediate resolution. Please try to be less incompetent given the billions of tax we waste on your service.
-
SydneyCityTV (@SydneyCityTV) reportedA pity I didn't see how tonight's Dalts report played out on NBN News, would've been rather funny if Natasha Beyersdorf (who I think may have even worked alongside Kevin at Prime Tamworth, but I'm not 100% sure of that) made a "I think I've seen Kevin on another network" quip! 😜
-
Majyqman (@Majyqman42) reported@larrikinstreak @robb_j_m The ISP pays a significant portion of the price of a service to NBN. I don’t know where you pulled your **** from to think it was free, but perhaps go fling it somewhere else.

Raymond McKeown (@RaymondKeown3) reported@Kate3015 We Also built TPG & Vodafone's networks, however, my point was really Albanese raced up to Singapore begging for oil, Optus is owned by the Singapore Govt. They will not be pleased. And for the record, we built the very first NBN site at Kiama, I met several times with Conroy, he is a fool. We walked away, I said let everyone else beg for this, we will pick up all their other business while they are ******* with NBN, Conroy had no idea of the concept of Fibre, nor did his management, they were all Guys I had worked with at Sun Microsystems, not one had ever built a network. Conroy went against advice & lost $800 million on a Satellite project, the Indonesians grabbed the flight space.
-
Steve Woosnam (@SteveWoosnam) reported@ichimikichiki @Lisa9Sophia The NBN is still one of the biggest waste of money in Australia's history. The government never had any business sticking its nose in.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@WaveTheoryUK @robb_j_m Hopefully your area will be enabled for the free fibre upgrade and you'll actually get the proper nbn rather than the crap LNP rolled out.
-
paullyj57 FMD **** AUST (@paullyj57) reported@JH_Otway_Ranges @craigkellyAFEE we never needed an nbn . mobile phone for data was faster and cheaper. Now starlink is faster and cheaper again NBN is a 200 billion dollar disaster
-
🌸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.
-
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.
-
Russell Drysdale :#IStandWithAlbo (@Russputin2) reported@M_McCormackMP @SkyNewsAust No Michael, that would be another stuff up by your deposed Crime Org catastrophe. The Deposed LNP Crime Org, have never been good at creating or building things: their only good at assett stripping & rorting things created by Labor Govts. Think Snowy Hydro 2 & Libs nobbling NBN
-
GR (@larrikinstreak) reported@robb_j_m NBN is free, the ISP is where the charges are and believe it or not it's customer support is why it costs much. The infrastructure costs are not the big cost.
-
Dayvd Allen (@DayvdAllen69876) reportedHome internet is down, BUT, according to Australia's "Lightning Fast" NBN... There IS no outage... Yeahhhhhhh.... The "Not Online" indicator light says otherwise. Optus are now "confirming" there's a problem... 🙄
-
💧Marilyn (@Marilynrules1) reported@TolsonKiefer @stevehearne7 @arbsmichael According to AI: The Australian Government has poured a total of approximately $35 billion into the National Broadband Network (NBN) through equity investments and capital injections.
-
Bulldogs57 (@Bulldogs5711) reported@MarkoMatvikov How ? Debt is down They are fixing NDIS Inland rail NBN Robodebt Not sure what you want to do about Snowy & AUKUS. And $1.2 T debt won’t disappear. It’s inherited. LNP / ON are calling to increase defence.
-
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.
-
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.

Michael Fowlie (@mwfowlie) reported@tomdoes_tech @DanielW_Kiwi I mean even if you love Australia, the NBN sucks

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.

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
