Mash Potato (@Wise_Spud) reported@TopherField I cancelled my NBN service after the council changed my address, and updating the NBN details proved too difficult. The address mismatch caused constant disconnections. I’ve since switched to wireless internet. Won't go back to NBN

Polycarpus 🖤💛❤️🇵🇸🇺🇦 💉 (@PCL1703) reported@LloydRusse17883 @deemadigan So you also need government to get out of health, education, transport, policing, NBN, clean water, defence, emergency services, etc.?

Atton-Risk (@AttonMathews) reported@Mick55629336 @LNPvoterfail @SistaRuthDOPD On the surface that does indeed ring true and in principal you really aren't incorrect. Problem is the councils are broadly right to refuse. Australia has 3 levels of government of which they are all disconnected. The feds hold the purse strings, the states build everything the councils regulate on a local level. We have migration today because the federal government doesn't have to eat the cost or suffer the consequences directly. Building up not out is in fact good urban planning. The problem is that is not only not what is going to happen. But structurally as it stands that is practically impossible. Since to make this actually work you would have to move away from car dependency into walkable cities PT and the rest of that. All of this is going to cost money and the federal government is being crushed alive by non means or capacity tested entitlement programs. Extremely expensive and inefficient road infrastructure a poorly executed nbn(thanks lnp). A deeply outdated and small railway network with mixed gauges. Along with a very very expensive electrical grid. Effectively the federal government is out of action in this regard. Because of what are deeply systemic failures allowed to compound upon each other. They can't spare the cash required to execute upon building up rather than out. State governments are forced to absorb these rent seeking migrants. Attempting to build housing on infrastructure they cannot afford upgrade designed around medium to low density housing. While councils being mostly directly connected to all of this are sometimes inclined to play the veto card as they should. This entire migration program can be made to work that is true but practically that is impossible. Thus it really should just be canceled as there are more critical systemic problems we face.

Michael Timbs (@michael_timbs) reported******* perfect. Set up some remote spot instances to distribute some compute. Set up Claude to monitor and tear down when finished. Quick health probe to make sure everything is fine, about to log off for the night and NBN outage hits immediately. Could not be worse timing

GoodFellaBoi ➕ (Майк) 🏴☠️ 🇦🇺 🇺🇦 ( 🇳🇱 🇵🇱) (@GoodFellaBoiBoi) reported@showcallcrewing @NBN_Australia I do not know. I use iiNET, they responded well, once i was able to talk to them. I did ask for a refund for the days I have no service. So they promised to fix it within 24 hours. I also made notes, and responded to their feedback email, and summarised my notes.

Johnnymoo1969 (@johnnymoo1969) reported@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 income - FU NBN

Jean-Michel Djaït 🇨🇵🇪🇺🇺🇳 (@jmdjait) reported@zammit_marc NBN. Never be nice.
-
Leftofcentre (@oldmate9999) reported@TopherField I didn't say I was against Starlink, what I'm saying is people can wax lyrical about this being disruptive 15 years after the NBN was started to sound prophetic when it was not a viable solution 15 years ago

Cattom (@TCatley) reported@Adam_and_EVs My friend just followed me to do the same. NBN is terrible. If we had proper fibre probably a different situation but

Kryptojigga🐐 (@kryptojigga) reported@nazzaokonkwo Millionaires in naira na millionaire? Because the value of a NBN now is -2. 5x under terrible Buharinomics. We are happy for the new entrants

Brent Hodgson (@BrentHodgson) reported@geofiasco @DHughesy @aaronsmith Aside: Whether the Telstra sale was ultimately a windfall is contested. It raised $60bn to sell the assets, then we spent $60bn on NBN Co just to regain access to the assets sold and duplicate/upgrade the network we sold - and Telstra has paid something like $80-85bn in shareholder dividends along the way. In many respects, NBN shouldn't exist. It should have been the $80-85bn in "shareholder dividends" to the Public Owner that paid for the fibres to be laid - not a $60bn investment after a $60bn sale. But NBN was forced to be created after a now-shareholder-owned Telstra responded to how it might build a national broadband network with a non-compliant 12 page letter effectively saying "we won't - the copper wires are our privately-owned monopoly and we want to protect our market monopoly".

shauna cohn (@shaunacohn) reported@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…

Paradoxa (@Paradoxa18) reported@CC68891975 @SistaRuthDOPD those of us who live where the threat is real now face summer without even basic telecommunications 4G's terrible Telstra contractor trying to fix landlines, out for more than a month, agreed VicEmergency requires data on just for alerts no nbn no wifi hope the new system works

Chris (@christ0pherjs) reported@bftd2025 @respeculator Nbn co needs to hang a for sale sign out the front immediately, is eventually redundant with 100% to be written off

VISION 🇦🇺 (@Vision_iii) reported@Ryantlon @MarkDiStef How can land prices go down? Council contributions are up, electrical infrastructure costs are up, sewer/water infrastructure costs have more than doubled, NBN costs are up. Council/state requirements are significantly more. Cities are landlocked with land become more and more scarce. Impossible for land cost to go down. As to deregulation, what deregulation? They introduced the regulated design process and you now need to get a PCA who asks for a BCA report from a BCA consultant who demands fire penetration reports, fire engineering reports, facade reports, wind reports, waterproofing reports and waste reports. And that’s just BCA. A task that was previously performed by one consultant now needs at least 8.

Maddie Latham (@MadLatham) reportedMy phone reception has been having issues, yesterday the nbn carked it and I got spat on (my bag) by someone in Footscray. I’ve ordered $60 worth of coffee this morning, had 2 long blacks and I’m about to walk the dog in the rain and go to a bathhouse this arvo.

Bill O’Slarty-Bartfast (@Klaartu) reported@isaacfloyd13 @johngar45721 And the NBN ****-up was the LNP trying to protect Murdoch.

Harry Harrop (@harry_harrop) reportedMay be a possible delay tonight due to emergency nbn maintenance 😭 fingers crossed 🤞🏻

EGP Quantitative (@AggressiveQuant) reportedAs a recent customer of Starlink, this has to be among the biggest runways in business. Only ~500k connections in Australia, apparently still >8.5m suffering through our joke of an NBN... That's just the opportunity in our little tinpot country.

Nirgal451 🇦🇺🇺🇦 (@Nirgal451) reported@cmkusher We’ve had terrible governments for 25 years. No real economic reforms and throwing tens of billions at poorly thought out thought bubbles like NBN, Inland Rail, Snowy Hydro 2.0, NDIS etc etc

Roz🌹✌️🕊☮️✨️💜🎶💎 (@rozywhitelight) reportedDvds vs streaming; no ads, the older productions were often better, no issues with nbn or internet buffering etc!! Lets face it. Tech has ruined alot of good things including creativity

T help (@Thelp725428) reported@AnthonyDonB @Starlink Latency is terrible - it works but if you can get fibre / nbn - stick with that - even Elmo says it can’t compete with cable in cities
-
River Ach (@ach_river84952) reported@Nirgal451 @cmkusher Let’s check the record: Labor's NBN was full-fiber before the LNP sabotaged it into slow, costly copper. Inland Rail was botched by LNP scope creep, & NDIS white-anted by poor oversight. For economic reform stock with Labor. Vision didn't fail; execution was gutted by the LNP.

EGP Quantitative (@AggressiveQuant) reported@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.
-
Cameron (@Cameronmac67) reported@TopherField Kevin07 rammed an uncosted NBN idea through with ~$10b funding. Next gov continued despite true costs far higher & timelines half of actual. Downgraded to cut costs so never as promised. Both major parties keep pouring money into bad ideas like this. did someone say NDIS?
-
Olga Teresa Marr (@OlgaTeresaMarr) reported@TheUSFeedX Yes I would because it’s a good service. But my service just went from $136 a month to $150 a month, yet the local NBN in Australia is about $85 a month.

LCHF Matt (@LCHF_Matt) reportedNBN is $75 for 25 Mbps and is constantly causing me problems.

24/7Chuks (@UnlimitedChuks) reported@ChisomAgbafor How the judiciary has fell off, You mean VDM will be speaking at NBN conference and the so-called "Learned Colleagues" will be listening attentively and taking notes down? God God 💔😭Why did you brought me to this country 😭

Johannes Weissman (@jway1969) reported@Starlink How about Australia has a quarter decent NBN Howard was promised one for 4.5 billion in 2004.. but Liberterians OMG globalist atlas network doesn't support actual capitalism just forced brand buying and interrupting aholed
