    @DoctorKarl There are some very stupid people on here, commenting about the NBN. $51 BILLION. There is a lot of rot in this country.

  • Angela98185784 Angela (@Angela98185784) reported

    @narc_free @DoctorKarl Sadly I had to go with Elon. I am on satellite NBN because I live more than 5 minutes from Sydney and it was too slow to run MYOB. Pathetic

  • MrSrHoges MrSisterHoges THUG veni vidi bibi (@MrSrHoges) reported

    @Shirl83949594 @Smile__Petal After a certain age they tel you to never pass a toilet stop and never trust a cart. I suggest you stay clear of Telstra towers. Don't worry about NBN it's trah.

  • lindi_sayers Lindi Sekulic-Sayers💧 (@lindi_sayers) reported

    @ScottMorrisonMP So you had no qualms paying out over 6 million dollars in bonuses to NBN bosses for delivering absolute crap. Yet you humiliated Christine Holgate in parliament over bonuses worth $20,000 and drove her out of her job. You gutless,spineless coward. #Auspol2023 #FO

  • shazarnold15 angry as ... (@shazarnold15) reported

    Great to see the lnps NBN fail again ffs. Couls they do anything right? SACK THEM ALL #RobotDebtRC

  • ThePhilderbeast Philderbeast (@ThePhilderbeast) reported

    @_Gaffa_ @DoctorKarl and that's not to mention the increased latency by nature of being a satellite service (even if its much better then traditional satellite internet) and the reliability issues of switching between satellites. star link defiantly has a place, buts its not to replace the NBN.

  • TamoDole Milan Prokic🇷🇸🇦🇺 (@TamoDole) reported

    @DoctorKarl We had old Foxtel cable with double speed then NBN for less monthly fee. But we have been forced to switch to new service.

  • PicklePntz PicklePntz (@PicklePntz) reported

    @DoctorKarl Really....really.... You of all people are asking that? Because the whole NBN **** show was mismanaged and a total rort from the start. Global embarrassment

  • TestPiloteer Crash-Test Sock-Pup (@TestPiloteer) reported

    @pontifax55 @DoctorKarl "5G" is it? Whoo-hoo! Yeah, I could have listed more of the problems with the NBN, but I didn't wish to be bored by more of your tech-fetish, sensationalising tripe. Thanks for nothing then!

  • LaraVacs Laz (@LaraVacs) reported

    Our @NBN_Australia has now been down for 4 days.. unbelievable. @tpg doing nothing to help. Who will compensate us for this loss?

  • starrfked ✨ Šṯäṟṟ ✨ (@starrfked) reported

    Hi @optus_help can you please explain why I’m paying $99 a month for a NBN connection that constantly drops out and non existent customer service via your live chat? Interesting that the sales team are available for an immediate response to new potential customers though.

  • cmkusher Cameron Kusher (@cmkusher) reported

    @bumskinsx Yep. Was just on a Zoom at home, my wife as on a separate Zoom and I had to drop off because my NBN was so crap. Happens all the time too.

  • mikeygemmell Ⓜ️👁🔑 · mikey · マイキー (@mikeygemmell) reported

    @PaulFletcherMP Poor kids. School can be tough enough without dodgy, irrelevant pollies they've never heard of trying to convince them to think the way they think. May your NBN connection be constantly dropping out.

  • McguinThe The Real Steve McGuin (@McguinThe) reported

    @MikeCarlton01 Why is anyone surprised? Labor had the NBN all sorted & ready to roll out. Then along came the LNP & now the NBN is *****. The LNP couldn't organise a root in a brothel with a fist full of fifties. The passion fingers **** everything they touch.

  • XY21282343 XY (@XY21282343) reported

    @GrogsGamut Is it gonna be streamed over the NBN, ‘cos there’s some reliability and speed issues

  • Redy5Al AL Redy (@Redy5Al) reported

    What on earth is going on? My NBN service has been deliberately weakened. A suspicious cable was located by tradies & connected to my apartment alone. My complaint to the Telecommunications Ombudsman is STILL under review despite waiting 5 months.

  • weezmgk Comrade Weez (@weezmgk) reported

    @WestrnWoodlndr @DoctorKarl NBN is absolutely not obsolete. Abbott & Turnbull's copper based FTTN corruption of the original full fibre FTTP plan is the problem. Starlink is overpriced and doesn't work well in the rain.

  • weezmgk Comrade Weez (@weezmgk) reported

    @bunzinator @DoctorKarl NBN was fine until Abbott & Turnbull took orders from Murdoch to hobble the full fibre plan with copper-to-the-node FTTN to protect Foxtel. FTTN is now being replaced with fibre to fix that problem.

  • AaronCheater Aaron Cheater (@AaronCheater) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Ever since I switched to @DodoAustralia NBN watching @Twitch has been really laggy with lots of buffering, even when not doing anything else online. Didn’t have that issue when we were with @superloopau

  • JamesRendell17 James Rendell (@JamesRendell17) reported

    I still think Malcolm Turncoat should be arrested on the spot today for the total failure of the @NBN_Australia and @Telstra Within spitting distance of the towers & every day there are drop outs, no real phone support service & an app that is used as a false advert 4 help!

  • Ozesurfer Ozesurfer (@Ozesurfer) reported

    Our NBN. I tried it again & received the following Msg: "Your device's connection speed is not currently sufficient to support the functionality of the DAA WebChoices Tool. " That's what happens when TPG sells you their 50Mbps plan, which usually runs about 1.4Mbps IE: RIPPED OFF

  • weezmgk Comrade Weez (@weezmgk) reported

    @ShortFu5e @DoctorKarl Starlink is absolutely not better than NBN. Long ping times due to being satellite service, slow upload, doesn't work well in the rain, about 1/3 more exxy for comparative speed. Starlink is a last resort option

  • bumskinsx xxbums (@bumskinsx) reported

    @cmkusher The NBN is so ****, that no-one will ever forget the Turnbull name. Curse it everytime NBN Flakes/go's down again.

  • hanaki_XIV Hanaki 日暮華貴 🦊 (@hanaki_XIV) reported

    Good morning, it is Saturday and I wish Australian NBN and all ISPs a very “get your **** together” because I’m sick of this bullshit of unstable connectivity, seriously 🙃

  • NetrunnerGen Netrunner Card Generator (@NetrunnerGen) reported

    The Alderman Grid NBN • Upgrade: Region. X credits As an additional cost to run this server, the runner must take 2 net damage. Limit: 1 region per server.

  • philsandberg Content+Technology for Creators (@philsandberg) reported

    @sbxr @JaneCaro Costs blew out under LNP because approach was half-arsed. Telstra was paid to fix copper network it sold to NBN for $11bn. Ridiculous. FTTP far more future-proof. In a market like Australia, Govt intervention is unavoidable due to ROI. Try using Vodafone outside metro areas ...

  • VacuousNess 💧 Vacuous the vaccinated. (@VacuousNess) reported

    @iiNet thanks for new modem but -no thanks Just spent fortune moving NBN connection out of child’s bedroom. You offered zero support Then sent us modem which doesn’t need @NBN_Australia line No new modem manual so can’t personalise network name, p’word @acmadotgov #auspol

  • Michael90230878 Michael Cross (@Michael90230878) reported

    @Tony_Burke No they have voted against massive waste, because labor never gives value being clueless, last effort NBN , etc.

  • ent1lzh4 Entilzha Veni (@ent1lzh4) reported

    @DoctorKarl The stupidity of the NBN creation with CVC bandwidth limitations. RSPs don't buy enough band width. Also there was never enought backhaul in origianal NBN deployment for speeds abouve 100mbps on a 36 fibre split

  • Stephen___Burns Stephen Burns (@Stephen___Burns) reported

    @chuqtas @DoctorKarl Still waiting for you to to name an alternate Aust wide broadband network other than NBN Muskovites think Starlink is this wonderful stand alone technology, it is not. In its current configuration it is just another way for people of connect to the NBN or similar.
