  @MrBrokenEyes Yes!!! I was just searching for exactly the same thing as my nbn has conveniently gone down right after the alert.

  @realRick_AUS I've just been fishing 50km down the vic river in the NT. Starlink had better uninterrupted reception than my NBN at home in the middle of Darwin. The NBN was yet another Labor scam on the taxpayer.

  @JEChalmers So passing unfunded time bombs such as NDIS & your **** NBN plan just before you were turfed means nothing? Glad you don't do my budget!

  @showcallcrewing @NBN_Australia Nbn tech thinks i have a faulty nbn box inside or bad connection between the inside box and outside box. They are coming out quickly to get it sorted. Thank you nbn.

  @Batman2242 @JMarshall63666 That's just a stupid old lie. The concept was determined by an independent cost benefit analysis which determined upgrading to fibre provided the best benefit for the cost based on existing and concept tech. Libs destroyed the plan and the economics of the #nbn

  @MichaelRuyg apology would be nice, no chance of a refund. despite larger ISP's being forced to refund people on fixed wireless who paid for service speed nbn could not deliver, my small one was not included in that settlement.

  @Batman2242 And starlink actually works. Our nbn connection is garbage.

  @NBN_Australia Working hard! More like hardly working! It's been nearly 24hrs since it went down with no updates, no notice of what's actually wrong. NBN being government funded as well, is so ****!

  Damn, my NBN has been down since noon today. I'm hot-spotting for now, but it's painfully slow down here. Probably the final straw ... if they don't fix it by tomorrow morning, they'll just convince me to embrace 💫 @Starlink not that I need convincing ✨

  As 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.

  @OMGTheMess Exactly. Not investing in Australia for 11 years now, since the NBN policy disaster basically, has never been so beneficial for my overseas company. The company made profit the moment I gave NBN Co and TPG/AAPT the flick. Never have seen consumers been ripped off collectively with the silent approval of a regulator.

  If our @NBN_Australia is like this for the Australian census night, our family won’t exist as won’t be able to fill in the online forms… will have to drive down the road for mobile coverage. Can we have our old copper to node connection back?

  @Suburbia3121 I’ve had it for a while now Andy… you won’t be surprised to know the NBN in Romsey is crap! lol Starlink obv not the cheapest but it’s been an absolute game changer for us.

  I told people when the Krudd had his NBN brain fart that it would be a colossal waste of money and that the future was wireless, and people told me I was being stupid. I remember the French government and their massive white elephant the Minitel system. Same government stupidity, every single time.

  @JEChalmers NDIS NBN record drought, record floods, record fires, record mouse plague, record Asylum seekers, record idiots in previous government. It'll take half a century to repair Rudd/Gillard now Albanese/Chalmers damage to the country!

  Waiting for nbn person to fix my internet. Has been down for over 2 weeks. Today my provider will take $$$ from my account to pay for internet i haven't been able to access. Capitalism is a beautiful thing BTW other countries fix stuff on the day but hey, oi oi oi oi

  OR they could say? Starlink is the same OR cheaper and gives better service! while our sat service costs a LOT for lousy speeds and is ****** if? it works at all Elon Musk cashes in on Australia’s NBN fail Bush families are being forced to pay the world’s richest man for basic phone coverage, as Australia’s bungled NBN rollout leaves dangerous black spots across the regions.

  @UrbanHubbard @Batman2242 Turnbull botched it. The original fibre and fixed wireless sections of the NBN were worth doing. Switching to Fibre to the Curb was an expensive mistake that has already needed replacing in most areas. This isn’t a left/right issue, and that’s not my point anyway. You missed the core of my post. The NBN was and still is a good idea. It just needed far better design than the “back of a napkin” version under Rudd, and Turnbull shouldn’t have messed around with the plan the way he did. I worked with people who installed the cabnets during the transition and saw exactly what changed inside them. With over 20 years in the IT industry, I know what I’m looking at. My actual point is that comparing the NBN to Starlink is unfair. It’s like comparing the entire fixed telephone network to mobile phones in the 1990s. Mobiles were revolutionary, but they didn’t replace the fixed network they complemented it.

  @pigways @Batman2242 NBN satellites have been in service since 2013 that provided a significantly improved service for remote and regional areas. Starlink only arrived in the last few years. Perhaps Amazon was able to meet the design and contract requirements set by #nbn and starlink couldn't.

  @NBN_Australia hello , we had a scheduled upgrade in our street in Manly Vale yesterday and since the NBN team left none of us have internet access. Your website says unscheduled outage. Not very good service to be honest

  My @NBN has been down since 9am & they won't come to fix issue till Monday - 4 days (2nd time in 2 wks)! My Telstra hotspotting is weak. Time to hook up with @starlink Issue here is local installer charges an arm/leg etc to install sys on roof etc. I may have to suck it up.

  @desmondbratcat @nbn @Starlink In a sense its not the ISPs fault, its the NBNs fault. The problem as per last week, an NBN tech came out to connect someone in my complex. Seems he unplugged me at the pit. I don't know why we still have ISPs when they just default to the NBN to come out & fix the issue.

  @fjzeit And to think Labor just wanted to build this for the same cost the Libs spend 😜 I won’t forgive them given I had really bad non nbn internet during the start of Covid while I had to work from home

  @showcallcrewing @NBN_Australia I ended up using iiNET because the offer a 4G backup, very important for work. And Optus did not help when NBN tech disconnected me, by mistake, as their record were not accurate, so they cut me. For it sorted in 3 days, but no apology from NBN for their error no follow up.

  @iiNet internet has been down since Saturday… ref: 500039344 Love the no show today 1pm to 5pm! I had to call you to find out? When are you attending the basement for 308 Pitt st?? Line sync is still down! It’s 2026 #outage #internet #nbn

  I rearranged my furniture like I said I might. Crashed my NBN doing it and now it will not connect. Spent the last hour on the providers help text… the backup 4G SIM WiFi Connection isn’t working either… the technician is coming later this week … The flat is more cluttered and I should have left it like it was… That filled the day anyway. I needed the exercise… I can’t sleep ..

  @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

  Publicly owned generators in the NEM today are some of the worst players in the market withholding supply to force peak prices up. NBN is a financial/business disaster. (Though the network is actually good)

  @DAKKADAKKA1 This is literally the reason why Huawei was banned from even bidding on doing the NBN and 5G network in Australia, because Chinese tech is spy tech.
