    @Jenbox360 Nah that's not torture... I've finally convinced my ISP & NBN here there's an issue with my fibre connection with 40+ dropouts a day. It's taken them a month & 4 callouts to finally accept it's not my hardware or within my property. I was losing my mind.

    @moffat14 @TopherField You do know it was the Libs that ****** it up. Labour started the process and as soon as the Libs got in, they put the handbrakes on it and started all this NBN node ****. Fine to blame governments but at least blame the right one

    @TopherField One of our clients had an existing telstra router just wanted an NBN connection. 2 weeks. $110 per month. I got her to contact starlink. 5 days later delivered and installed. $75 per month. Get your act together telstra. Can't be so slow anymore. There are choices.

    @pigways @Batman2242 NBN satellites have been in service since 2013 that provided a significantly improved service for remote and regional areas. Starlink only arrived in the last few years. Perhaps Amazon was able to meet the design and contract requirements set by #nbn and starlink couldn't.

    @Cassy090909 @Starlink Be alright if we could actually GET NBN!! Did you know some areas still don’t have nbn and so are at the mercy of ineffective private companies charging money for a half arsed service - try Gold Coast Coomera for example - noooothing, starlink charge up an upfront fee of $1365…

    @NBN_Australia still cannot connect a NBN service to my mothers location. Yet it says in website its serviced by FTTN, but here we are 6+ months (3 retail providers) and still cannot get a service. They blame construction, but what happened to project planning before that :)

  • AnthonyPHoran

    @jarro56 @isaacfloyd13 There was bipartisan support for the NDIS & NBN because they were popular as their projected cost were fractions of what they actually became. The NBN could have been delivered by private sector for fraction of cost & is likely to be obsolete in future.

    @sarlils23 History does not support that claim. Quite the reverse actually. You must be on LNPs' nobbled Copper NBN, because your claims & assertions, all apply to the deposed & disgraced, LNP Crime Org, Junta Puppets.😬👋

    @TopherField NBN will pale in comparison to the data centre **** show. Elon has spoken of SpaceX’s new data centre satellite constellation that won’t require water for cooling or electricity. But we’ll race ahead and ruin neighborhoods and farmland building irrelevant infrastructure anyway.

    @AngusTaylorMP **** no you guys are just another flavour of Labor. I haven't forgiven you for ******* the NBN or introducing the ekaren position the labour is now using to force censorship and probably digital ID

  • TopherField
    Topher Field (@TopherField) reported

    I've said time and again that the NBN is a white elephant, and that it would be destroyed by competition... IF competition were allowed. Of course like-for-like competition is NOT allowed... the NBN have a monopoly on wired internet... but guess what? They're STILL being out-competed by the private sector anyway, because wireless technology has come a LONG way fast... After all the tens of billions we've spent, Australia still only ranks 43 on internet speeds (worse on some lists, I'm being generous) and still users are turning to the private sector because the NBN cannot help them where they are. Amazing. Government never makes things better, it only gets in the way of the private sector who WOULD make things better... if the government weren't in the way.

    @MadsMelbourne Booked @NBN_Australia on Monday - said they’d be there between 8-12 - took day off and no one turned up - incompetent govt that doesn’t give a **** about people’s time - @Starlink here I come - FU NBN

    So much for being notified of when the team were coming @NBN_Australia now I don’t know what’s happening with my connection as I’m interstate and my mum couldn’t hang around to see out what they were doing.

    @MythThrazz @Tqlax21 @Favwontmiss I have to get NBN. I live with my aunt and she thinks the internet is something that floats around in the air. 4g coverage here is poor. 5g isn’t much better.

    @Noicewon11 @Starlink I used to get that screen regularly before Starlink... Pretty sure Macquarie Park/Marsfield would count as Metro. Only ~3 week sample size, but blows away the horrific NBN service I dropped. Only started on the 100MB service too.

  • AnthonyPHoran
    Anthony (@AnthonyPHoran) reported

    @jarro56 @isaacfloyd13 The NBN was flawed from the start but it sounds good so it had widespread public support. High speed internet would have been delivered by private sector with some govt support for rural Australia & it would have almost certainly been done quicker & cheaper.

    @showcallcrewing @NBN_Australia The wireless modem is worth the extra $10/month. I can work, kids are happy, wife can do her work, but says it is slow, but okay.

    @loftwah They didn't even finish the NBN 1.0 so it makes sense. One of my mates had an NBN contract and he got paid stupid amounts of money and he said he'd finish by 2pm, took long lunches and could push appointments by saying he was too busy. Zero oversight. Huge rort.

    I'm thinking change of upstream provider has ****** up everything on the network, so decided I should kick my router as well to see if that makes a difference - I'd already kicked the NBN NTD this morning after it dropped out initially.

    @Avichaivegas @JakeTurx NBN is such a waste. I am here for 30+ years and seen so many Americans who moved to Israel without any aid from any group (before NBN) who due to finances were forced to leave after learning the language, building businesses, having kids, etc. NBN wouldn't help any of them!

    @OMGTheMess I agree Old Soldier,but Nation Building projects are few and far between,we try to build **** and the costs blow out. Not sure who scrutinizes the contracts before they are signed. Inland Rail $2 bil blew out to $14 bil,Snowy2 $2 bil, now **** knows NBN already obsolete $30 bil.

    @NBN_Australia Working hard! More like hardly working! It's been nearly 24hrs since it went down with no updates, no notice of what's actually wrong. NBN being government funded as well, is so ****!
