  @diss_presso @robb_j_m The nbn was only announced in 2011/12. So if it went to crap in 2000, that's the market that let it go to crap.

  @MarkoMatvikov Even worse: Labor writes new laws to force super to invest in “building back Aus” like Melb-Syd high speed rail or upgrading NBN. When competition policy allowing global carriers to compete on the Melb-Sydney flight would drive costs down & Starlink is outcompeting NBN today.

  @robb_j_m This of course ended up driving the total cost of the NBN through the roof as they had to take on copper lines that had not been maintained properly for over a decade & assemble a franken-network copper, fibre & HFC networks that had massive maintenance costs.

  @Telstra Your customer service team are disgusting. They mixed up NBN and Optimcomm and not one person answered a single question I asked. Absolutely disgusting. I want to raise a formal complaint.

  @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.

  @Teadaxs @robb_j_m The vast majority of third world internet infra is way better than nbn, perhaps a poor comparison

  @NBN_Australia hey, so no update on an unplanned outage in 5 hours is actually insane, just in case you were wondering. Northcote area.

  @BrowntownBrew @robb_j_m But real world demand was lower as no zoom or Netflix. But anyway - it’s moot. The government could buy every Australian household a starlink dish (2.5x faster than NBN) for <$6B - and we’re still not finished, having spent 10x that. The doomed NBN had the absurdist aim of connecting every sleepy country town with top shelf fibre whilst legally enforcing slow internet in our metropolitan centres (the only places where fibre is even economically viable). This is exactly what the libs predicted at the time and were ridiculed for it. How about just connect the high population centres (you know, the ones who actually need the internet for their livelihoods) and let rural people move to the city if they want 1gbps, and then later spent a few billion buying the rest starlink if we really wanted to continue pissing money up the wall (or just letting them buy it themselves, with their own money, if they really wanted it). You aren’t angry enough.

  @eevblog @MichaelSmicqfw Really? I think that was only in the context of your NBN being down for a week... Starlink (or any satellite internet) really isn't useful in a city like Sydney, and when lots of people insist on using it there it will only get more and more expensive. It is for rural areas.
