  @ianclarkeAU @CovfefeDnUnder Mate, you're talking to a @Starlink customer... I use it on the Gold Coast, and I'll likely never go back to the NBN, even though I can get fiber, largely because I refuse to pay for something that is intentionally outdated. Outside of the cities, #Starlink is the answer.

  @NBN_Australia @therealjme5h Yes, but how long will I be without service? 3 hours and counting.

  @BeauGiles Typically, no. For the cost of a backup device/SIM/NBN or even Starlink, it would pay for itself in an hour of an outage like this!

  @Starlink @SpaceX If you are in a city or suburb with good NBN or 5G, this is a terrible deal. If you are in a remote rural area with no other options, it's a great service - but you should expect to pay $139/month, not $75, and you must remember to return the dish if you cancel.

  @BrowntownBrew @Batman2242 NBN Sats crowded out all private investment. Even it's rollout was ill considered, eg shutting down the interim satellite during the wet season 😳 Specifically what NBN requirements can't be met by starlink ? 🤔 Starlink has ~250k residential subs, 350k total. NBN 300k total.

  @taipan168 Many corporatised, but publicly owned, entities provide great service. NBN is pretty good for example. Even Australia Post isn’t bad. Govt doesn’t have to equal bad and is much more preferable in monopoly and quasi-monopoly environments.

  Our nbn internet/phone service isnt working. A @Optus techician was sent to my home to find out why we dont have nbn internet. He told me there is something wrong with the fibre optic internet cable. The cable brings the internet to our home.

  @blowingtom2 @SenSHenderson they also repealed the universal service obligations and the financial penalties for telstra not meeting them. now every time the power goes out, so do all the landlines*, then 4 hours later the mobile and nbn towers shut down. * yes we still have them, nbn not fit to replace

  Our NBN is on the fritz so our ISP has thrown us back to 4G. My med prescriptions have somehow been ballsed up. The $160 monitor we had to get for our cat isn't working. It never ends. Why is it so hard? And I wonder, why can't anyone just do their jobs competently any more?

  @michaeljames947 Telstra is an 800lb gorilla. It was never going to be possible to keep them behaving properly. That was the case from day 1 when the govt & Telstra were at legal loggerheads. Then they took govt to the cleaners over the NBN saga.
