    @WaveTheoryUK @robb_j_m Hopefully your area will be enabled for the free fibre upgrade and you'll actually get the proper nbn rather than the crap LNP rolled out.

    @gav_mck I ran into that with my uncle in Maleny. The crowding for Starlink meant no space. He has it now (waited in que like every1) but its why NBN are pushing their service to market asap with Amazon leo. At least you have options!!

    Well, I TRIED watching @abcnews' coverage of the Farrer by-election result (bc sadly @6NewsAU is suffering NBN outage issues). I lasted 30sec. David Speers interviewing Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie. Ugh. 🤮 #auspol #FarrerVotes #FarrerByElection

    @SkullSpeedDeal I called Optus support the other day. The Indian guy on the phone literally couldn’t speak coherent English, misunderstood 5G and NBN, and sounded like he was calling from a scam centre which he probably was. Got escalated to an Aussie girl, problem was immediately solved.

    @malimber01 @robb_j_m What are you talking about. The NBN was created from nothing and only cost so much in the end because it was saddled with Telstra's **** copper infra by the libs and had to essentially build it twice.

    @news_australian Snowy 22b.0 man has as much credibility as his NBN (no bloody network) rollout achievement… worst Monister ever!!

    @Justme136160 @robb_j_m To be fair, David is not wrong. Telcos will use the NBN infrastructure as they see fit. It’s cheaper to pay to use the NBN infrastructure that is already there than to lay down their own fibre. In fact, telcos like Optus and Telstra are already NBN providers.

    @Goyoubays @bob_parto You are such an uninformed ****** that we'd bet you support One Nation, you dim cooker. The original NBN planned and started by Labor was FTP all the way and was NEVER going to be funded by the telcos, you idiot bath scum ring. The Libs ****** it by changing it with their "Technology Agnostic" prayer using a cobbled together FTN. Go back to bed and fiddle with yourself like you were before you posted your dimwitted, uneducated reply. Take tissues. ******* idiot.

    @un1v3rs3135 @robb_j_m i'm on slightly more expensive starlink plan, rural village, get 240 mbps down and much faster uploads than fixed wireless nbn for just $9 a month more than i paid for the unstable NBN. has dropped out once for 7 mins in very heavy rain over the last 5 months.

  • ichimikichiki

    @Lisa9Sophia He's just an idiot. Remember when he added double the cost to the NBN because he wanted to use broken copper network in a corruption deal to bail out Telstra / Rupert Murdoch.

    Im liking league of dreamers books oh man...this is bad. I hope they do more free option event tbh but then again their choices is relatively cheaper but still. Law of the Beast is having a free play event and im loving it! I only downloaded LOD for NBN but now hhhh

  • PeterD84508
    Peter Dewar (@PeterD84508) reported

    @TheNoisyTrunk @Caitlen2310 @arbsmichael At a time when the network needed to be upgraded to optic fibre Howard sold off Telstra to the people that already owned it. The cost to build the NBN should also be included in Howard's debts .

    @HardwareUnboxed Have you tried on wired NBN? It's actually not too bad. (Tested Fortnite on iPad with the Xbox thingy that my son was trying)

    @algorithmsayshi Seems to be a common issue with the NBA league pass and NBN providers sadly.

    @DavePhippen After 8 calls totalling 12 hours to NBN co and Telstra I found the magic key: Just say "Ombudsman" Service person arrived the next day and a new modem the same week.

    @robb_j_m I was that happy with the FTTN NBN I had I went with Starlink when it was available in my area in November 2021. I know I can now get FTTP , but I put up with an ordinary service for for a long time and can’t be bothered changing.

    @Starlink I’m one **** around on price from going over to NBN fixed wireless which has been rolled out in my area since I got Starlink. The chapping and changing is bullshit

    @robb_j_m Outside the urban centres, $139 a month for Starlink. NBN for me was a slow and expensive skymuster satellite. Thanks Elon.

    @Michz45 And you seem to think giving the government more money will actually benefit those services. Why do you think the gov does not get involved in baking bread? Because it would taste **** and cost $100 per loaf. That's your Medicare, NDIS and nbn to name a few

    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

    @Peter_Fitz I was a Young Lib at UWA. Tea & Fairy Bread with Mal Fraser @ Sir Charles house. Volunteered. I was sliding but NBN was the last straw. AUS needed a statesman we got Abbott. :( Volunteer for an independant now. Unlikely to support libs ever again. If they are around that is.

    Thank you to the NBN/Optus for restoring my internet connection at full speed. For the past 2 months it was working at woeful speeds. I was initially told it was a problem at my end 3 times but it seems the complaining from my end caused action for them to investigate and fix.
