💥Dr Robb 🎓Social conscience? Follow me. No MAGA (@robb_j_m) reportedTo my Aussie friends: Wasn't the idea behind the NBN (National Broadband Network) to ensure that everyone had access to free (or at the very least inexpensive) internet? What happened? How much are you paying for internet access?
-
GeneralChat |🍍🍌| Charity Donothon 29th-7th (@General_Ch4t) reportedOK to explain the reason for missing my own Anniversary stream... basically there was a brief blackout here caused by a transformer blowing and it fried the NBN, so until a technician can come around on Tuesday I have no internet beyond my phone... I will try to make fir it somehow
-
𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒍 𝑺𝒄𝒐𝒕𝒕 𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘𝒔 🇦🇺 (@DanielSMatthews) reported@eevblog I have both, NBN service stability is far less than Starlink's, so it is my backup. I could probably push traffic through both, did that with Telstra and Optus cable modems back in the day, but Starlink is so fast I haven't needed to bother.

David Collins (@Errol5870) reported@australian People have already forgotten another of his past failures “The National Broadband Network”, NBN for short…
-
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
-
Baiaphilia (@baiaphilia) reportedWhat happened was what always happens when it's a project run by the government. It failed miserably, and went way over budget. The NBN was so bad I begged my provider to give me back my previous internet connection. But they couldn't because they forced them to shut it down.
-
Jim Stewart (@jimboot) reported@eevblog @Aussie_BB Been on on Starlink maybe 5 years. I can remember one outage because of a Solarflare. Wireless NBN was every other day. Good old Govt again
-
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.
-
some0nethere (@some0nethere) reported@OMGTheMess I am an EV driver, but I do not think others should be paying for it. Perhaps if the government invested in standing up a government owned charger network that had a sound business case and sold it later, that might be ok. However, that was what NBN was supposed to do with internet...
-
Dave (@imdavo17) reported@TFyrd49376 @TobiSkovron Labor introduced the NDIS, LNP messed with it. Like a long list of things introduced by Labor, the LNP screws with it and we are forced to endure the **** show that follows. NBN? LNP screwed it so hard it cost 3x as much for inferior infrastructure.
-
Aus throttle (@austhrottle) reportedI usually hate most government spending, but sometimes they get things right. The inland rail was a good project. Cancelling the inland rail is a terrible decision. It is just as important as the NBN, and in this case there isn’t a foreseeable technology that will replace it in 10 years time. Rail is insanely energy and labor efficient compared to trucks. Trucks should only be used for end of journey in a well optimised system.
-
Mickamious (@MickamiousG) reportedWas 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?
-
Michael Brennan (@Michael44814776) reportedNo, nbn has cost far more due to LNP. LNP original costing: Promised $29.5B (2013 election); revised to $41B in Strategic Review. The evidence is that in the caucus , as detailed in Turnbull’s book, Abbott simply wanted LNP to be contrarian about nbn. They stopped the fibre rollout and replaced it with copper. At the time, LNPs message that nbn would go over budget was favoured due to a complicit media. For instance, when the ABC science editor did a comprehensive comparison between labour’s FTTP and LNP copper, the report was spiked until after the election, due to ABC management wanting to appease LNP. Then, under LNP, ABC did not have a science editor. Consider the subsequent dearth of reporting by ABC in following years about the biggest infrastructure project ever. Consider that Turnbull appointed a former business associate to be chair of ABC whilst a Director of NBN snd whilst a ceo of a supplier to NBN with a $100m contract for design and fabrication of copper based distribution boxes, which have subsequently been removed. So there is no surprise that the public were force fed the line that all that glitters is copper. The reality set in when the deterioration of the copper network became apparent to punters. The cost of NBN is now at approx $50B with $54B to 2030 to due to the replacement costs of LNPs copper systems with fibre. So Abbott and Turnbull cost the country many billions not to mention the years of misery and lost productivity by prolonging the copper network.

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.
-
Ian Richards (@IanRichards8) reported@robb_j_m Terrible internet access, NBN stands for NO BLOODY NETWORK
-
John Cas (@moresunshine_1) reported@Sauronlordking If there is one thing I didn't mind from the ALP that would be the NBN in its original form. Then this idiot came around and mutilated it into his own little mixed up mess. That now has to be unraveled at even more expense!!!
-
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
-
Max (@diss_presso) reported@BrowntownBrew @robb_j_m But real world demand was lower as no zoom or Netflix. But anyway - it’s moot. The government could buy every Australian household a starlink dish (2.5x faster than NBN) for <$6B - and we’re still not finished, having spent 10x that. The doomed NBN had the absurdist aim of connecting every sleepy country town with top shelf fibre whilst legally enforcing slow internet in our metropolitan centres (the only places where fibre is even economically viable). This is exactly what the libs predicted at the time and were ridiculed for it. How about just connect the high population centres (you know, the ones who actually need the internet for their livelihoods) and let rural people move to the city if they want 1gbps, and then later spent a few billion buying the rest starlink if we really wanted to continue pissing money up the wall (or just letting them buy it themselves, with their own money, if they really wanted it). You aren’t angry enough.

The Guru’s Wife (@TheGurusWife1) reported@robb_j_m NBN is unreliable in my area. I have Starlink $139 AUD per month Starlink is the only reliable service here
-
Orstraya (@orstraya) reported@eevblog How can an organisation like NBN not have its own HDD crews or a contractor on standby? Why does it need council permits to carry out emergency works when federal law lets telcos basically do what they want?
-
David Lee (@Stoxxie) reported@Liberty_Itch @DavidLeyonhjelm This is an incredibly poor editorial on the NBN. A waste of my time in reading it

GeneralChat |🍍🍌| Charity Donothon 29th-7th (@General_Ch4t) reportedOF ALL DAYS FOR NBN ISSUES
-
Russell Drysdale :#IStandWithAlbo (@Russputin2) reported@FinancialReview If only Rupert hadn't nobbled Labors' Full Fibre NBN, you'd know that it was the deposed LNP Crime Org, that closed down fuel refining & storage in Australia.
-
Terry Corby (@TerryCorby57986) reported@DaveMcG67 @Ausbobsmit @lauren_vasiliou Like Snowy 2 you mean started by LNP at a cost of $2B now estimated at $42B an LNP project or the NBN which cost us $110B more under Abbott& Turnbull for a far inferior service.Neither the right or left r great project managers.
-
Kojrey (@kojrey_codes) reportedThis is the argument for the #NBN few predicted: 1) Spend lots of money to build a national broadband network. 2) Spend even more money to make it Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) by default. 3) Private competitor pops up and offers comparable service, in more geographies, with zero Australian govt money. ....But where some are now (4a) Private competitor drives out public investment (4b) Private competitor CEO becomes hyper-partisan & divisive AND THEN (4c) They decide to use almost-monopoly power to hold citizens hostage with price increases. Kevin07 may have saved us, even if he didn't know it at the time.
-
MR Reilly (@mrr78504) reported@econoadabsurdam @LeeRespecter The NBN might plausibly have increased productivity if it had retained its original scope (A FTTN fibre backbone network independent of Telstra that would allow telecommunication companies to compete on an equal footing). Instead it got rolled out first in Tasmania.
-
Paradoxa (@Paradoxa18) reported@robb_j_m live beyond NBN only about 150k from Melbourne had dial up originally then adsl2 but no home net for years despite paying for access now only mobilenet & my phone one of many network blocked that was January when irl the roadside letterbox disappeared #offline
-
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.
-
Clifford Stewart (@Protenpinner) reported@RositaDaz48 Yep, he's single handedly the country's worst ever PM & we literally have had one go missing, one go on holidays when the nation was on fire & one sell out the future of the nation by giving backdoor deals to his mate (Turnbull with the NBN).
-
Steve (@JarOfSteve) reported@algorithmsayshi Tried clearing app cache ? Could be using CGNAT as well. Getting a static IP from ISP could fix the issue. Also, you could try turning off the NBN box for twenty minutes to see if you can pick up a new IP that's not flagged.
