    Was there an issue with the 4G/5G network in Melbourne, Victoria today?? It seems as I got out of the CBD the network improved but within the metropolitan areas there was issues?? @Starlink at home seems to be operating fine - anyone have NBN issues?

    No @NBN_Australia , 1 minute of notice is not a "Planned" 6 hour outage I can only assume you have different SLAs if you call it planned. #NBN #NoBroadbandNetwork

    Getting there. First time EVER since the NBN was put in by Raj and his mate...i now have a green transfer light as opposed to orange. Of course no one gave a **** there was a problem on the day. I do have some patch cables without a cat rating, so there is that. Baby steps.

    The NBN is phasing out older copper connections starting July next year, and if you don’t switch to full fiber within six months of being notified, your internet will be suspended! 🌐🔌 Check your address eligibility now to ensure you stay connected with faster, more reliable service 🚀 #NBN #internetupgrade #aussietech

    I’m thankful I have NBN Fibre but even with that I will never use cloud gaming. why would the local computing die anyway? This AI craze will die quicker than the computer. Phones and laptops still need to be need built. What’s going to stop is that PCs will no longer be cheap

    No idea exactly who's staying and who's going (we'll likely find out soon enough), but one hopes Nine proper or 2HD/the Super Radio Network* may pick up some displaced NBN staff. *Come on, ex-NBN News talent can't be any worse than some of the presenters they've got right now!

    @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.

    @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

    Terrible 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

    Black friends I served with in the military told me to watch out for *******. Being from Idaho I said it was a derogatory term for them wasn’t it? No, ******* are violent, irresponsible, parasites causing all the problems, stay away from them. One of them, Levi, always said NBN, ******* be ******* when there was trouble. I just listed to a couple of black females just as tired as the rest of us but threatening to orhanize against them.

    Home 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... 🙄

    @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.

    @RennickGBR My issue with point 3 is that for the last 2 decades, there hasn’t been one federal project that was delivered on time and on budget, every single infrastructure built blew the budget completely. So it’s just more spending. Snowy hydro, NBN, inland rail, hunter frigate etc

    @Kgeeme @MRobertsQLD Totally agree, mate. That Hydro monstrosity and the FTTN NBN were a real waste - billions down the drain and we’re still stuck with rubbish speeds. How’s it been affecting you where you are?

    @KillAuDeepState @abcnews @SBSNews Nrth nsw's nbn news had a report on it during 6pm news. Mostly because of the rioting caused by the 'far right' (pissed off locals). Then pointing out that Nigel Farage is bad for noticing the attempted beheading as well... 😒

    @DrewPavlou Australia's internet is **** because Tony Abbott deliberately sabotaged the NBN by making it fibre to the node. Rupert Murdoch was worried that streaming services would eat into his pay TV profits, so he had all his news orgs back Abbott. They even announced it at Fox Studios.

    @cjoye Sell the NBN? Yeah because when we sold the electricity network, that worked out well for prices. Bringing CGT in line with tax on wages is going to be one of the fairest tax decisions made. Nothing will change otherwise businesses would have left for a tax haven already.

    @theinfradev @ruicharadrius I'm not revising history. The plan was fttp everywhere, with Telstra and optus copper being bought out to move them to the NBN. The copper was never going to be used for the NBN. Look at the Telstra definitive agreements from 2011.

    @Marilynrules1 @stevehearne7 @arbsmichael The competition is basically at retail level and thanks to the nbn there's actually been an upgrade to the fixed line network so there's better service. Significant speed improvement and slight price increase.
