  There’s Optus internet outages across the country it seems, my internet is out here, Brisbane has had some. Anyone else across Australia had problems with their Optus related internet whether NBN or ADSL? Even my Optus mobile phone internet is spotty.

  @NBN_Australia @NBN_Australia still no internet. Guess I'll just tell my work that you guys will cover the losses incurred by being down.

  @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.

  $58.10 is Aussie Broadband's "special 6 months price". For 25mbps down, 10mbps up... Meanwhile Amaysim's offer is $30 a month for 6 months. It's so retarded. The NBN/gov should be ashamed of themselves. Cost of access is way too high and it's causing ridiculous market behaviour.

  @strangerous10 @AlanJMitchell_ Yep. And Canberra complaining about the privatised Telstra is like me selling someone a second-hand car and hitching about what the new owners did with it. I’m serious. And we should surely have enough computing power to know now how the sharemarket dabbling went for those “battlers” who bought Telstra shares as encouraged by the privatising PM John Howard. After taxes, accountants, inflation, fees & Telstra’s bad (or deliberate?) policy choices around the National Broadband Network, my guess would be: not that well. And speaking of the NBN, remember the smart nodding and talking heads saying we wouldn’t need this much capacity etc. Be a few archived interviews from that era that will not have aged well. The same equation repeats throughout history. 1. “This is ridiculous” 2. “It has some uses” 3. “We’ve always supported this! What are you talking about.” Progress moves by the death of generations, as much as by technology. My parents hated ATMs. Didn’t trust them. I don’t trust the thing I’m writing this on. Children now will one day look back on such antiquated things as hand-held devices and “wonder how people used something so clumsy”. Etc

  True. NBN Co is the picture of efficiency and never suffers outages or coverage issues.

  @Ryandally08 @socratesccost Yesss … you get $5.00 a week back off what the government has already stolen off you. Billions in waste and fraud in the NetZero program. Billions frittered away at the NBN. Billions pissed up against the wall on Victoria’s ‘Big Build’. Billions lost in NDIS fraud. Billions wasted on the Inland Rail. Billions down the drain on Snowy 2.0. Billions siphoned off to unions on Sydney roads projects. But hey … five bucks a week. You gotta thank Albo for that. Vote Labor last … Australia 🇦🇺 first 🧡

  @B_e_n_n_y @r0ck3t23 It’s already obsolete. If you have decent 5G it’s light years ahead of NBN. Most cities don’t have proper 5G though. They think they do but it’s awful pretty much everywhere except Gold Coast.

  The 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.

  @realRick_AUS Out in rural NSW, the max I could get was 50Mbps. And it took 3 months and a really good tech - (who got silenced) to tell me that they had a broken cable on my run and they needed to rerun the cables for about 50 feet. 7 visits I think I have 3 months with nothing before that! And every time it rained, I lost connection for hours I was the middle of the work day. Aussie Broadband were the only ones who kept me sane - NBN itself was (and is) rubbish, but Aussie was amazing.

  @QuentinDempster Good to see you're finally admitting that the NBN was a badly thought out brain fart from day one. And the Gumbyment needed someone like Elon to demonstrate to them the proper way to provide such a service over vast distqances. Good to know.
