  @eLFB57 @AusIndiMedia Yep Telstra upgrading network with optic fibre. LNP/Labor, must stop this! Bring in the Yanks, privatise, create NBN. Telstra stops & gives up. Those that have fibre lucky. The rest of us, too bad, pay for substandard crap! Don’t you just love privatisation.

  @Aussie_BB @DanGayfer @NBN_Australia Good on ya. But I bet you tell people to speak to their phone provider on faults. And that’s the start of the run around. You only provide the service & equipment to access. Not the medium where the faults are.

  🚰 #Water Gate. Tweet Whisperer (@Ausshot3Dave) reported 45 minutes ago from Northam, Western Australia

  @GeorgeBludger @guytaur Reminds me of the Coles ad. Down down we are going down down & further down. NBN the LNP success story. Bit like their economics credibility

  @VoteLewko @2GB873 Starlink is great if you're mobile, but you never want to use it to replace the nbn residential connections. The speeds and latency you get from a fttn/fttp connection are leagues better.

  @Poolwithaswan @viii_nix Labor has been terrible with digital freedom. There was Stephen Conroy and the great Australian firewall during the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd. We were looking at getting a great fibre to the home NBN, that would've been utterly crippled by the government mandated filtering.

  @GregNordo @AllBiteNoBark88 I just had another go with Optus. Literally no internet during peak hrs. Their NBN is unbelievably bad, even my business plan was dropping out 20 times a day. Aldi it is.....

  The Libertarian Party believes in reducing government involvement in the economy. We would Reduce ATO staff by at least half over 5 years because flat tax rates will require less compliance staff, and it is essential to reduce the possibility of the tax system regrowing; similarly, scale back agencies such as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and Australian Competition and Consumer Commissioner and the laws they administer; and sell government business enterprises, including the NBN, ABC, SBS, and the Future Fund, and use the proceeds to pay down debt. By removing bureaucrats and simplifying tax, we will have a more prosperous country. #smallgovernment #libertarian

  @PaulBongiorno Try living in rural Vic and getting an Australian made fixed satellite NBN service. Up until Starlink our snowfields resembled dial-up and we could not watch a streaming service without the loading circle popping up every minute or two.

  @the_vocal_one @ianclarkeAU @CovfefeDnUnder Of course it applies. I never said it didn't. How much detail would you like in a single X post? The OP is claiming the NBN is obsolete. It is nothing of the sort, and the bandwidth disparity is the entire reason why, and that isn't changing anytime soon, as you say.

  Superloop is the 3rd RSP. Let's see if I can get more details out of them tomorrow on what path/route of the FTTN is a problem. NBN co seriously can't manage a raffle in a pub.

  @OperationalInc1 Whenever the NBN low-earth orbit satelitte service kicks off (Amazon's burgeoning network), the backup should switch to that. Aside from some parts of inner Perth/Melb/Syd/Bris, all of the rail network is on the surface and will be able to uplink, I would have thought.
