@Hani_Iskander Share your scepticism re Amazon. But NBN Co has the customer base already and as it is government-owned it has a service obligation to Australians. Obligation is on NBN Board/CEO to make sure Amazon provides high speed broadband. Competition with Starlink should help performance.

@QuentinDempster Why wouldn’t customers cut out the bloated, expensive middleman (NBN) and just go directly to Amazon/starlink?

@QuentinDempster Amazon servers shut down/ remover anyone who disagrees with them from using their servers. That is why NBN took them on just another link in the chain for controlling the people.

@QuentinDempster I live in a caravan park. NBN is connected to the parks office but the park owner won’t pay for whatever is required to have it available to residents. My best option is Starlink. I won’t use Starlink. Hopefully this new deal will help myself & others who have our hands tied. 🤞

@QuentinDempster I'm not surprised that NBN will continue to be the worst value for money.

@theoztrucker From what I understand they use Amazon's satellite then send it through the NBN network. Digital ID come to mind?

@NtDrifter I liked what we had previously. Super fast broadband. Then some man came inside put an NBN box on my lounge room wall back 2015. Well I Never got it connected. I don't like it. Lots of shops had No Internet when NBN went in, at Gembrook for example. No business phone

@QuentinDempster I wouldn't use NBN if it was free. I'm a @Starlink customer and I'm more than happy with my fast, unfiltered connection. As soon as starlink starts selling cellular services I will dump Telstra like the crap that it is without hesitation.

@NtDrifter Totally agree, Starlink’s reliability beats NBN hands down rural users deserve better than empty promises

@QuentinDempster at much greater cost and terrible level of service - ring NBN to see if you can speak to a human

Starman
(@starman8888) reported
@wtfinawtfworld @QuentinDempster The reason NBN is behind in cities is because Abbott gutted fiber to the home and instead payed Telstra something like $30bn for 50 year old copper phone networks to do the last km of service. Capping speeds to 3rd world levels for people on it.

@QuentinDempster But people can still purchase Starlink like they can now? I mean it is always good to have a choice. And knowing NBN pricing Starlink will probably turn out to be a cheaper & faster service.

@QuentinDempster Starlink (atleast right now, and if i had a bet for a very long time to come) is vastly VASTLY superior to Amazon's OneWeb.. So typical NBN Co for taking the **** choice

@QuentinDempster Ive been with starlink for nearly 5 years now and even if nbn/amazon offered me 5 years free service.. i'd still stay with starlink.

While Starlink provides nationwide coverage in Australia with speeds up to 270 Mbps, NBN's 2026 partnership with Amazon's Project Kuiper aims to offer a government-backed alternative for rural areas, targeting 300,000 sites with high-speed LEO service. This reduces reliance on private providers and ensures competitive options— not waste, but strategic investment.

@QuentinDempster NBN selecting a non existent network because it’s not Elon.

@CasFarmerCD @NtDrifter If the Gov just made it easy for all LEO ISP's to access the ground network access equally and gave people any assistance with associated hardware costs directly, not through a NBN style company the market would sort itself out.

@QuentinDempster Except we aren’t going to buy the crap that’s being served up by NBN. We are long past that mark.

@QuentinDempster Government satellite service Or Starlink. The government is still spending, trying to get the NBN working properly. Which service, do you think will exist in 10 years?

@QuentinDempster Starlink is Great! I wouldn't consider switching back to NBN, I get it will never be as good as Starlink

@QuentinDempster I wonder how many people will ditch the excellent service provided by Starlink for NBN Co when they eventually roll it out.

@QuentinDempster Kind of ironic. Starlink is dependable. The NBN connection to my mothers house in the metro area has been a total **** show. If they can't get it right in the city how well is it going to go in the bush?

@QuentinDempster @Hani_Iskander Nbn will be given to Telstra who will then want to improve profits so will destroy country coverage, we have been down this road before, it’s all about greed & govt is the main offender

@hellohiheyxx @QuentinDempster Thought you'd raise this blatant bullshit argument. Currently the NBN uses the Sky Muster network? The Project Kupier network? Projected results and technology not yet delivered. So the projections are based on a marketing claim... &the contract? Who wrote it and technical quals?

@QuentinDempster Please issue the financial and actual benefits to the people in rural areas with respect to your decision. Include comparison between NBN and Starlink 1) availability today 2) cost per installation actual 3) reliability

@TheIPA @SkyNewsAust Is this another case of the LNP getting into power and diluting the system and changing it like the NBN where they down graded the system now we have a second class internet. As usual the LNP will take the easy way out and stuff the electorate.

@Dusty_Arse Understand your exasperation. Similar experience in Tassie. The point of NBN satellite upgrade will be the competition with Starlink and a universal service obligation from a government-owned entity.
