Marty (@Martywa467) reported@VoteLewko @Starlink This is exactly why we need billionaires and trillionaires to do things that our governments always completely fails to do. So glad we wasted billions of our dollars on a rubbish NBN service huh
-
purana (@purana) reported@AussieWirraway 3+ month 3 different RSP's and still can't get NBN co to connect a FTTN service.
-
Max Revelation (@MaximilPlan3t) reported@GregNordo @AllBiteNoBark88 I just had another go with Optus. Literally no internet during peak hrs. Their NBN is unbelievably bad, even my business plan was dropping out 20 times a day. Aldi it is.....
-
Grant Mackenzie (@GrantMa24544383) reported@1Alboforpm Considering Labor designed the NDIS, Libs and Labs together gave us the NBN, Libs and Labs the submarine fiasco? How's the tax on tobacco going in stopping smoking as opposed to feeding organised crime? Pot / kettle Their sudden growth will result in messes, poor communication and confusion between newly formed members but their sudden growth is do to the F up by these 2 major parties. Oh... and ... Fire the Liar

malcolm angus (@malcolmangus1) reported@greghammo69 @DarcyAmaroo he is also imitating Abbott .No cuts to Pensions, educ or health NBN 25 megabytes per second by 2016? Linked pensions to wages growth not indexation !Did you scorn him too for his multiple broken promises ? they all do it

Nicole Lazarou🇦🇺🇮🇱✡️ (@nicole_lazarou) reported@QuentinDempster NBN sucks. Australia has third world internet. Starlink rocks. Loser.
-
Julie Burgess (@julieburgess623) reported@Telstra for 5 days now we have been unable to watch Foxtel as our internet speed is 4.49 as per their consultant. We have contacted NBN who told us to contact Telstra. The person there said the problem is our modem which it is not. We need a solution please Telstra.

Taya Nielsen: StuffTrump! ICE OUT! (@TayaNielsen2) reportedChifley established the PBS. Whitlam built Medibank. Keating started national superannuation. Hawke dumped tariffs to help Aussie farmers & their exports. Rudd built the NBN. Gillard built the NDIS. So, what exactly DID the LNP do in all those years??
-
Dane Trethowan (@grtdane) reported@TimLooker @ABCaustralia I knew our communications system was down the tube with no stopping it when NBN bought the Copper Wire Network from Telstra and start decommissioning it, we should have had our Copper Network (which served us well) continue to do so along side Fibre etc.
-
John Murdoch (@jscmurdo) reported@ausnuc_ian It was a Press release waiting for a business case that never eventuated. That's how the LNP operated. Don't get me started on the NBN catostrophe. Another example of the great economic managers.
-
Pietro (@PietroDarke) reported@centralNRL Agree with the 4K sentiment. Biggest games like Origin & GF not on 4K is poor. Contrary to others my Kayo on 4K is reliable & have not converted to NBN yet.
-
Michael🧙 (@mich___l) reported@VoteLewko @2GB873 Starlink is great if you're mobile, but you never want to use it to replace the nbn residential connections. The speeds and latency you get from a fttn/fttp connection are leagues better.
-
Nikki Austin's Aussiegirl 💖 Love Hank & Elvis (@AbAussieGirl) reported@optus_help whenever we come to your help you throw it over to the NBN and then they handle it back to you no one ever seems to be able to solve the issue ever I've never seen such an incompetent company instead of signing up more people for your service maybe make
-
alicefarquharson (@alicefarquson) reported@oscarcsims also very confusing policy/reg space. govt essentially renationalised Telstra infrastructure in leasing a bunch of its assets to the NBN. yet Telstra still runs emergency services, payphones, landlines - not NBN. minimal economic incentives, maximal telco corporate welfare
-
Ian Clarke (@ianclarkeAU) reported@RobertW51136192 @Slav636 The cross subsidy is exactly the point. NBN was never the right solution for outer suburbs.
-
SydneyCityTV (@SydneyCityTV) reportedNo 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!
-
JimBobSquarePants 🇺🇦 (@James_M_South) reported@Telstra Your customer service team are disgusting. They mixed up NBN and Optimcomm and not one person answered a single question I asked. Absolutely disgusting. I want to raise a formal complaint.
-
Patrice Henri (@PatricioHenrio) reportedthe NBN was never even finished

💜𝕏 CharmsVic 𝕏 💜 (@CharmsYahoo) reported@scottjla @johannesmkx Uk hasn’t got as many isolated farms etc as Australia or US but I understand from friends there is similar higher speed internet access as Australia suffered with slow install of NBN and minimal systems Back in 2021/2 when Starlink was not providing many services in UK - govt removing authorisation would not have caused major outcry but the number of services today would cause huge outcry if authorisation were removed. Also mobile Starlink is very common now. The acceptance of authorisation is part of SPCX now and impact investors - technically I suspect uk govt can’t do anything other than order removal and whether the company has offices in uk will be relevant to service provision and funding for infringements Elon is VERY protective of children’s rights so expect him to express views on how this needs implementing. His stance against Starmer goes back to when he ed public prosecutor and didn’t protect children and girls against gangs.

Jess 🤍💚 (@matildaismine) reported@1RogerWoodward @RoguestGypsy @Telstra Dude it's not wide spread for nbn... it's telstras mobile service... only very few are having issues with nbn
-
Kayeos (@Kayeos3) reported@Davemcl70700812 @lesstenny You didn't listen during her speach or read any policies. Clearly stated that the country wouldn't be affected. Other systems can easily be put in place. Besides, majority of farmers have satellite internet because they didn't receive broadband or the NBN. **** you lie a lot.
-
Ian Clarke (@ianclarkeAU) reported@GusLefty @AJG71 @karlstefanovic Not really sure what your point is. Mine is that the NBN is worthless. Flawed from the start. 5G / Starlink better for consumers. You now seem to agree. Glad to help.
-
Michael🧙 (@mich___l) reported@sofewcharacters @VoteLewko @2GB873 Yes it is, but Starlink is terrible in cities, built up areas, and areas with lots of tree cover. It degrades pretty significantly in bad weather. It would also be terrible with a cities worth of people connected..... network congestion is a problem for satelite solutions (similar to the mobile network). Getting rid of the nbn network would be a monumentally bad idea.
-
The Opinionated Veteran (@the_vocal_one) reported@CovfefeDnUnder @ianclarkeAU All network types have limits on the bandwidth (speed available to users), even wired ones... It's just that for fixed networks like the NBN, those limits are much, MUCH higher.
-
Anna (@spannaforce) reported@ApiaFcViareggio Nbn was down. Seems OK now
-
mutantmonkeybutt (@60YOGamer) reported@PaulBongiorno Try living in rural Vic and getting an Australian made fixed satellite NBN service. Up until Starlink our snowfields resembled dial-up and we could not watch a streaming service without the loading circle popping up every minute or two.
-
pigways (@pigways) reported@ajamesbragg Do the NBN. $40B down, uni-party responsible. Perhaps the NDIS. Covid largesse 🤪
-
Chris from Katunga (@Hymie313) reported@Carlsie555 Depends if it is a provider or NBN hardware issue. We’ve found Aussie Broadband to be good to deal with and reliable. I can’t remember who the kids are with. I’d have to check.

Rob White (@RobWhiteEsp) reported@RennickGBR @RobbieBarwick How much Starlink get because the NBN sucks *****?

rob2511 (@KymRob25112) reported@anthony45052793 No NBN...never will be...
