    Unfortunately @6NewsAU won’t have live by-election coverage tonight (NBN issue) but this is a great thread for Farrer We will have reporting later in the night once results have been reported!

    @BrowntownBrew @robb_j_m In some cases. They would pay Telstra to use the pits, or Telstra itself would install fibre. This is an issue all over the world. We’re simply trading one monopoly (Telstra) for another (NBN). But there’s nothing to stop another company in theory from running their own fibre in dense areas - but not now of course, as they wouldn’t be allowed to undercut the NBN (hence the stupid NBN has actually made it so internet cannot be cheaper than how much they say it should be - law of unintended consequences - now the law is literally making cheap internet illegal).

    @ruicharadrius If your wifi is bad, get a different AP. It is exactly the same wifi standards used globally. Or do you mean your internet connection? That isn't wifi. I have FTTP NBN. It works fine.

    @Ben_Davison1 Education has gone to ****, roads no different, rail basically doesn't exist, NBN is a worthless attempt at 30 yr old tech, electricity and gas is expensive, refusal to build any water infirstructure. The law was subverted decades ago and civil society doesn't come from gov.

    WOW. Was that Mike Kaiser perched up next to that Murray Watt snot from #QLDPOL at #ESTIMATES today? WOW still got his snout in the corrupt Labor trough. Remember he was handed that NBN job by Stephen Conroy no application needed. WTF is he doing now on the public **** #CANBERRA

    @algorithmsayshi Tried clearing app cache ? Could be using CGNAT as well. Getting a static IP from ISP could fix the issue. Also, you could try turning off the NBN box for twenty minutes to see if you can pick up a new IP that's not flagged.

    @robb_j_m I got nothing, NBN has killed all the independent providers that serves my community. I now get about 10mbps max through the mobile network if lucky.

    @eevblog I have both, NBN service stability is far less than Starlink's, so it is my backup. I could probably push traffic through both, did that with Telstra and Optus cable modems back in the day, but Starlink is so fast I haven't needed to bother.

    When I went into the carport, the light was on, the power point was turned off and the ethernet cable ripped out and the port was broken. He had taken the cover off the NBN box and that's what woke me up- when he was putting it back on. Pretty sure he was looking for a spare key

    @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!!

    @GamewithDave The only network connected devices I own are my Windows desktop PC, my HMD Pulse+ Android phone, my ISP-provided TP-Link router and my ISP-provided NBN FTTC NCD modem. I refuse to buy any of the "smart" crap.

    A pity I didn't see how tonight's Dalts report played out on NBN News, would've been rather funny if Natasha Beyersdorf (who I think may have even worked alongside Kevin at Prime Tamworth, but I'm not 100% sure of that) made a "I think I've seen Kevin on another network" quip! 😜

    @theinfradev @ruicharadrius I'm not revising history. The plan was fttp everywhere, with Telstra and optus copper being bought out to move them to the NBN. The copper was never going to be used for the NBN. Look at the Telstra definitive agreements from 2011.

    Terrible service from @NBN_Australia One of their field techs accidentally cut off our whole Strata building with a bad telecommunications patch next to the NBN Node. I told the tech (27hours ago) but they went home without fixing it. A Level 2 escalation has yielded nothing. Gr

    @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.

    @timtheous Hey there, sorry to hear we've left you feeling this way after trying to upgrade your nbn technology type. I have passed on your feedback to the relevant teams to review for future improvements. I'd recommend reaching out to our Sales Team to further discuss your options. You can do so, via the Messaging service on the My Optus app or by calling them on 1800 508 000 (Mon - Fri: 9am - 7pm Sat - Sun: 9am - 5pm AEST). -Athan
