  What disgraceful service @Telstra. Been in new house for more than 2 weeks. Only 4 days of NBN working. Told they would be here on Saturday between 8am and 12pm. Waited all day and then called Telstra to be told NBN will be back on Wednesday. Disgraceful.

  @DifficultNerd @stnapAtnaf Sadly not the case. NBN have confirmed with me that we will never get 50 Mbps due to the distance we are away from the first node. They also didn’t replace the aging copper on the main street and line faults is a regular thing to happen.

  @stnapAtnaf @DifficultNerd It’s actually hilarious to see media reports of the NBN struggling. Remote learning/video/working, video streaming, etc, etc is exactly why a proper next-gen network should have been built.

  Ordered a new fibre connection on Sunday, a tech came and installed FTTP on Wednesday, and it cost $0. NBN gets a lot of flack but it's very hard to complain about this level of service!

  @OzHempRocks @MarkoMatvikov 1/3 The latent, already eligible scenario Well, welcome to the world of whacky PBO estimations, eh? Let me see – so PBO are not to be trusted to estimate NBN, NDIS, Snowy 2.0, nuclear (etc) – but we trust them here? I see.... Let’s look at their stats and I’ll explain them to you for your benefit. This is how you come to quote the ‘uptake’ figure. See embedded table. So here is the 26% quoted as being ‘eligible’, or what you call uptake. But here is where that gets problematic. 1. Your optimum scenario relies on someone having $0 income. They’re not even filing an ITR! The $0 scenario does not apply to PBO modelling, as they’re not in that cohort at C, which drives D & then E. 2. Of greater relevance - of that 26%, this cohort includes any permutation of incomes for couples, the overwhelming majority of whom: a. Are eligible but earning in the same tax brackets (eg $45K and $75K, or $80K and $130K, or $200K and $200K) and hence receive no benefit at all, or b. Are in different tax brackets but are both at the lower end of the income scale (eg one at $40K the other at $60K – moderates out to $50K apiece saving $500) c. Are in different tax brackets, earning good incomes, but where the disparity is insignificant (eg one at $75K, the other at $150K – a saving of $1200) Of the ‘eligible’ pool of 26% of tax filers or 16% of the population, most of them receive $0 benefit as they ARE eligible but are both in the same tax bracket (2a). A large proportion end up with ‘something, but not material’. Before anyone jumps down my throat, consider this – the ALP’s WATO policy due to commence 2027 is $250 per person, so either; - ON does intend to continue WATO, which just further piles the burden on the tax system or - ON rescinds this, and most people (90% of income tax filers) are actually worse off. See example 2b above. They’d be no better off. So, I presume ON will inherit the (dubious) WATO and add IS (income splitting) into the mix. We just end up with a ludicrously over-engineered tax system. Punchline - we end up with between 1-3% of the population who receive a material benefit. It is probably closer to 2.5% of the voting population. Many parents will think they are eligible but end up receiving nothing. Which is the essence of populist policy. Let me be honest – the ALP WATO is fairer, simpler, and better. So, you either inherit it and over-engineer the system or discard it and wear the ire of the population. Or take my advice and engineer a far better, fit for purpose, future proofed model.

  @alexjohnward @ianclarkeAU Separate discussion. The comment targeted NBN specifically. It’s wrong to say that NBN = Bad. It’s not that simple.

  @newcastleherald As an Ex-NBNer having spent many years of my working life in various capacities with NBN, it's terrible to now hear about all these losses.

  To be fair. The LNP destroyed what we could have had with the NBN. And you’re comparing jellyfish with drongos. These are different solutions for different problems.

  @NicFromOz They use Telstra wholesale network, coverage shouldn’t change from what you have now, 4G, no 5G, I have used them, changed to Superloop though, tied in with NBN plan for bundle discount.

  Four days with no NBN. We were promised a fix today but the 4G network fell over from overuse instead. Thinking about investing in puppets and more paper books.

  @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 🧡
