  @TopherField Our sports club is 12.5km from Darwin's CBD and there is no NBN provisioning and the available wireless is dogshit. So yeah, Starlink it is and things have never been better.

  Further update, Mum was just on the phone with Optus and apparently Optus (an internet provider) isn’t able to call NBN to fix this, they can only text message them. Or at least that’s the line they are spitting out about the network degradations DO YOUR JOB!!!

  Downloading apps to buy cheap end equipment to give something’s a try and wow this not a pleasant experience. As Tech Lead would not have let this code out. Session management is so poor. The sites lag even on town based NBN. No company cares anymore tbh they just lock you in.

  @TopherField I signed up to Starlink precisely because of the NBN, and the way broadband is handled in this country. Got a technical issue? 9 times out of 10, NBN need to fix. But there is no direct line to them - you have to use your ISP as a middle man to send messages back and forth. Something gets lost in translation, start over. It is an exercise in frustration. The last words I said to my previous ISP ("Aussie" Broadband) was "you just made a very good case for Starlink. Cancel my account" Been on Starlink for almost a year. Not one single drop out, great speeds, even online FPS games run great. TLDR: **** the NBN

  @p_terg IT ordeal 😵‍💫 They got the NBN on today. Box nowhere near the computer and computer doesn’t have a wifi adapter. So I did the dash down the road and got them a 10m Ethernet cable and away they go.

  I've said time and again that the NBN is a white elephant, and that it would be destroyed by competition... IF competition were allowed. Of course like-for-like competition is NOT allowed... the NBN have a monopoly on wired internet... but guess what? They're STILL being out-competed by the private sector anyway, because wireless technology has come a LONG way fast... After all the tens of billions we've spent, Australia still only ranks 43 on internet speeds (worse on some lists, I'm being generous) and still users are turning to the private sector because the NBN cannot help them where they are. Amazing. Government never makes things better, it only gets in the way of the private sector who WOULD make things better... if the government weren't in the way.

  @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.
