  @TTAlwaysWins NBN came and told me that it was my network, not the NBN. This is utter BS as the blue DSL light flashing has nothing to do with my network.

  @Bryan_APDS There he is, popping up again in his blue suit! Mr Copper Wire NBN $65billion. “No Bloody Network” he stopped a HFC roll out to install Prof. Alex Graham Bell’s copper wire from 1876. Famous words to Mr Watson, the first phone call. Australia let it happen!

  @TopherField I tried for 6 months to get my faulty NBN fixed (FTTN - copper/xdsl for the last 0.9km). NBN blamed the retailer who blamed NBN. I gave up and put in Starlink and have never looked back (4 years ago). NBN dug up the street 2 years ago to install fibre to the premises - I have a pit at the boundary of my property. My property is marked as 'NBN Ready'. Problem is that they never actaully pulled any fibre in the street !! The NBN is a huge scam.

  @NBN_Australia Once again our useless service is dropping out. Thanks to the destructive & stupid @hontonyabbott (NOT Hon.) & complicit @turnbullmalcolm some of us are stuck with the useless satellite service. Years of promises of fixed wireless or something but … NOTHING

  @adamnicotera @NBN_Australia Go to NBN outage page get no info whatsoever, have to sit on hold to service provider instead. How hard is it to put some detail on your own NBN outage page to save customers the running around ?

  @aaronsmith @jommy_tee To my mind this is decision is less technically competent as choosing to go for a copper NBN rather than fibre As believable a solution as carbon capture and storage

  @Rizzabeast I had a disgusting phone interaction with outsourced staff in the Optus Nbn install team, the first issue was a computer error, which I understood but asked to escalate to a supervisor, this guy had no customer service skills, talking over me, i asked to talk to his supervisor

  @Ryantlon @MarkDiStef How can land prices go down? Council contributions are up, electrical infrastructure costs are up, sewer/water infrastructure costs have more than doubled, NBN costs are up. Council/state requirements are significantly more. Cities are landlocked with land become more and more scarce. Impossible for land cost to go down. As to deregulation, what deregulation? They introduced the regulated design process and you now need to get a PCA who asks for a BCA report from a BCA consultant who demands fire penetration reports, fire engineering reports, facade reports, wind reports, waterproofing reports and waste reports. And that’s just BCA. A task that was previously performed by one consultant now needs at least 8.

  @Mick55629336 @LNPvoterfail @SistaRuthDOPD On the surface that does indeed ring true and in principal you really aren't incorrect. Problem is the councils are broadly right to refuse. Australia has 3 levels of government of which they are all disconnected. The feds hold the purse strings, the states build everything the councils regulate on a local level. We have migration today because the federal government doesn't have to eat the cost or suffer the consequences directly. Building up not out is in fact good urban planning. The problem is that is not only not what is going to happen. But structurally as it stands that is practically impossible. Since to make this actually work you would have to move away from car dependency into walkable cities PT and the rest of that. All of this is going to cost money and the federal government is being crushed alive by non means or capacity tested entitlement programs. Extremely expensive and inefficient road infrastructure a poorly executed nbn(thanks lnp). A deeply outdated and small railway network with mixed gauges. Along with a very very expensive electrical grid. Effectively the federal government is out of action in this regard. Because of what are deeply systemic failures allowed to compound upon each other. They can't spare the cash required to execute upon building up rather than out. State governments are forced to absorb these rent seeking migrants. Attempting to build housing on infrastructure they cannot afford upgrade designed around medium to low density housing. While councils being mostly directly connected to all of this are sometimes inclined to play the veto card as they should. This entire migration program can be made to work that is true but practically that is impossible. Thus it really should just be canceled as there are more critical systemic problems we face.
