  @EnergyWrapAU @BhagsNStonks The NBN lacked a clear business case, and tried to deliver a Singapore solution to a geographically different Australia. The future was wireless.

  @THATS_RIGHT_YA @robb_j_m That download ping is faulty. Should be more like 20. Could be your computer, NIC, browser, or modem/router (and its settings). If you are with TPG you can log into your account and do an NBN test, which will check the line, and they'll contact you if there's a problem.

  @australian Even Tesla is made in China, so what is the actual issue here? This was sent from my Mac Mini, made in China, sitting on a desk made in China, connected to the NBN through a Wi-Fi gateway made in China, typed from my Logitech keyboard, made in China, while I sit in an office chair made in China, looking at a Samsung monitor made in, checks notes, Vietnam. At some point the argument has to get more precise than “China bad.” If the concern is connected vehicles, telemetry, firmware access, data storage, or fleet security for MPs, then make that argument properly and apply it consistently across all networked devices. But pretending Chinese EVs are uniquely suspicious while half the modern office supply chain is already Chinese-made is not analysis. My iPhone (made in China) is connected to my Apple Auto - driving me around tracking me on a GPS map, with a microphone that works, and the Head Unit (made in China) Where does it end?

  @eevblog NBN don't have the equipment necessary to maintain their own network. More consultants will fix the problem.

  ACMA is NOT currently running a spectrum auction for LEO satellite broadband. In December 2025, ACMA decided against auctioning a large amount of expiring spectrum. Instead, they chose to renew the licenses held by mobile operators and NBN. Their reasoning was that auctions could disrupt existing services and slow down new technologies like low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Amazon's Project Kuiper is coming to Australia in mid-2026 through a major partnership with NBN Co. This will give Starlink its first real competition in the country, especially in regional and remote areas. This is generally good news for consumers because more competition usually means better prices and redundancy.

  @fuIIcreamy @robb_j_m Nah sounds more like "Libs screwed me over but I'll blame NBN coz thats what Libs told me" issue since the poster is likely on the overpriced Wireless NBN which was half arsed on roll out That or just someone spouting **** to keep the whole NBN was a waste of money crap going

  @pointman69 @CefaiJason @robb_j_m 10 years and $30b wasted on LNPs stupid idea. All the whole Turnbull invested in fibre rollouts in Europe and the supplier of copper to the nbn

  @NBN_Australia no NBN service in Cherrybrook 2126 from this morning there has been HFC replacement recently nearby was it because the project missed cutting the HFC cable for internet then caused the unplanned outage and when it is back?
