-
LambDownUnder (@LambDownUnder) reported@TheLucidyn @Batman2242 Kind of proving the point. Gov can't perceive anything. Making large Capex decisions that are supposed to be generational. It was anti competitive from the outset. Private companies (TPG notable) were prohibited from building out their own network. Regardless, I can have starlink internet now for about the same monthly price as the NBN except i didn't have to front the Capex (and debt) for it. NBN very likely has a negative ROI. I wish we judged policies by outcomes not intentions.

Nicole Lazarou🇦🇺🇮🇱✡️ (@nicole_lazarou) reported@QuentinDempster NBN sucks. Australia has third world internet. Starlink rocks. Loser.
-
Richard (@R4dicalCentrist) reportedTrue. NBN Co is the picture of efficiency and never suffers outages or coverage issues.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@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
-
FML (@jshster) reported@PieNorthern I haven't had a problem in ages... since we upgraded to NBN high speed. Hate to say it but it might be a tech problem. Although I do get it!
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@basespanker @Batman2242 That was a fttn upgrade with Telco support, but libs called it fraudband due to the minor upgrade so it got scrapped and years later the #nbn was formed to rollout fibre to 93% of premises. LNP got in and decided to do fraudband
-
Stuart (@Stewie8t) reported@FranMooMoo How will the NBN monitor all your phone calls and internet usage if you do that? Malcolm Turnbullshit will turn in his own **** if you do that. After all, wasn’t that why they did it? Prison colony…
-
Mezmarr (@Mezmarr) reported@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 ****!
-
John45 (@John45OverIt) reported@Batman2242 LOL what a stupid take. that bit of fibre shits on starlink - the current record is 1.02 Petabits per Second (Pb/s). As they say, you get what you pay for. Oh also, what does it cost the consumer for NBN vs Starlink.
-
Paul Maynard (@pauldotm) reportedThe exisiting tech support could be retained within the NMN preserving that knowledge base and the mobile networks could be better enmeshed with the NBN. Coverage could be better managed.
-
Russell Drysdale :We Stand With Albo,Labor & Aust (@Russputin2) reported@ajamesbragg If you get the spider out of your pocket, you could hook up Fibre NBN & save sprouting stupid ****. Labor banned CFMEU & instigated an enquiry into corrupt (LNP like activity).
-
Aussie Shazza (@shazzadut) reported@VoteLewko @2GB873 I have Boost on my phone. Goes thru the Telstra Network. It was out. My NBN however sailed through no problems with TPG.
-
אריאל בן אברהם (@AM_IL_CHAI) reported@HilzFuld @NefeshBNefesh I am a master electrician with open Aliyah application but cannot find job. The paperwork NBN referenced is outdated about ten years! HELP!
-
pigways (@pigways) reported@Batman2242 Much worse. Starlink is an infinely better service; higher speeds, low latency. NBN satellite cross subsidy alone is more than a starlink subscription. NBN satellites are EOL, they've contracted Amazon's Kuiper for replacement rather than proven starlink 🤪 They hate Elon

Leigh (@Leeroy1855) reported@olsod45 @BobBurn97207272 @R64862Rvan And a 20 billion dollar annual interest bill and the debt still growing unabated. THE reason your lifestyle is cratering. We are not America slick. That debt is all Labor's. When you announce major infra structure and I mean major! With zero funding put in place to fund it. As your arse is being shown the door. Which Labor does every time and requiring some else to find the money. Then your always going to be working from behind. We were debt free as Howard left office. Then along came Rudd with the NBN and Gillard with the NDIS. Announced with massive fanfare and zero funding. Granted Morrison and the idiot Turnbul didn't help either by throwing money at them. We are heading for a recession (we had to have) but you appear to have your head ensconced in a very dark place.

VersionNaught (@nathan_knows) reported@strangerous10 A lot of people forget the NBN was in part to shift the fixed broadband service monopoly from Telstra.
-
peter rowe (@Prowerock1) reported@Martywa467 @VoteLewko @Starlink NBN faults are dealt with via the telcos. After four cancelled appointments by NBN after Telstra said it was an NBN issue ( it was), I bought a Telstra 5G router and threw out the NBN box. I would prefer Starlink but it has a congestion charge in our area of $700.
-
Daniel (@VoteLewko) reported@mich___l @2GB873 That doesn't help the thousands of homes who are still without NBN many years and many billions of dollars later.
-
Millicent Bystander (@trickyidnego) reportedWaiting 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
-
BethinCanberra (@ElbK19) reported@Thejimpenman Yet the business minded LNP… $2.4B on #Robodebt $5.5B to cancel the French submarine contract $50B the NOT NATIONAL NBN + 20B more thx directly to Mr Abbott $254B for LNP stage 3 taxcuts over 10yrs - stopped by Labor. Oh wait, is that ur actual beef? Missed out?
-
Raymond McKeown (@RaymondKeown3) reported@Rexdinasaur I worked with Conroy on the original NBN & built the first site in Kiama, it was a disaster, it cost Transgrid $10 million, not one of NBN management had ever built a network, they had no idea, never understood the unique properties of Fibre cable, Conroy would simply not listen, one deal he did cost $800 million as a stuff up, I walked away & said to my people, everyone of our competitors will chase this, lets chase the business they ignore.
-
Vanessa Jones (@nessiejones22) reportedI saw a dog tethered to a tree on Weir Place Higgins, I thought the NBN installers put it there, to guard their gear. On the way back from Belconnen mall, I saw 2 pound workers rescuing the dog. They had a complaint and came to take it. I said it looked like the NBN guys or a
-
Richard Neal (@Wombat_Ric) reported@r0ck3t23 It wont effect providers as much as you think. We have the NBN in Australia and all that happened is everyone became resellers or add on service providers. The telco's wont disappear, they just wont have to pay for infrastructure anymore and become SpaceX resellers.
-
Ian Clarke (@ianclarkeAU) reported@DoodyDarren @CovfefeDnUnder Can NBN do this? No, and it never will. Of course wired networks, such as aarpnet are way better for some applications. The fallacy is that NBN is about technology, when it’s about a cross subsidy.
-
anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported@KymRob25112 compared to NBN setup, book installer, wait two weeks, installer fails to show, rebook, wait another two weeks, installer shows up, signal has to be bounced of barn roof, then wait another 4 weeks for NBN co to process it. so two months for nbn vs two hours for starlink.
-
Con! (@c0n_AU) reported@BeauGiles Typically, no. For the cost of a backup device/SIM/NBN or even Starlink, it would pay for itself in an hour of an outage like this!
-
General Bewbs (@General_Bewbs) reported@Darth_Peachez Genuinely takes me ten hours minimum to download 100gb. It's local news obviously but there's a couple news sites in Australia talking about how a lot of us will be ****** by digital only because of how bad our NBN and wifi still is and how far behind we all are
-
purana (@purana) reported@AussieWirraway Lucky you, can't even get my mum onto FTTN because of terrible network management by NBN co. They transitioned the street, but didn't think to keep capacity on FTTN for residents in units who cant get anything else..
-
Kevin Metcalfe (@KevinMe49077436) reported@TheLucidyn @Batman2242 No, it was a very bad idea, the original OPAL idea was excellent, a public private partnership to lift rural speeds up to that of the cities and was costed at about $4 billion. Rudd screwed that up with massive mission creep and created the NBN.
-
The Opinionated Veteran (@the_vocal_one) reported@ianclarkeAU @CovfefeDnUnder Mate, you're talking to a @Starlink customer... I use it on the Gold Coast, and I'll likely never go back to the NBN, even though I can get fiber, largely because I refuse to pay for something that is intentionally outdated. Outside of the cities, #Starlink is the answer.
