The LNP took Labor’s grand vision for the NDIS and made it Centrelink, just as they took the grand vision for the NBN and made it Fraudband. Bad internet sucks but what is being done to people with disabilities in the name of economic rationalism is criminal neglect. #auspol

FM we have to put up with a substandard NBN internet service now the governments going to ostracise Google to please their media giants. So we’ll have slow internet and a inferior search engine. Well done Moronson !

@cookiemunsta @Kynes3 @MrMatlock12 @JoanBloggs @PostLamont @QandA @insightSBS It's because ADSL (old) and VDSL (nbn) are incompatible and they have to slow down both during the 18 month change over period to prevent them wiping out each other. This govt willfully took this action and killed fibre to the premises which is excellent and causes no such issue.

@deniseshrivell Tas got first NBN then Libs got in. They let Turnbull get away with lie and wreck it. They canned the digital hubs program, Medicare Locals, and dumped community providers of disability support services in favour of larger private operators cashing in.

FFS, how dishonest (or maybe stupid) can a candidate be. To claim on one hand Labor did nothing for Tas jobs 5 seconds after saying they wasted money on the #NBN. @kevinmorgantas

@bigbadave @mavetju @BLShiv @NickRossTech Exactly, and the original NBN was going to solve their problems, be it on domestic level of service or business. I was paying $65 a month while neighbouring businesses were paying T $200 month. They could not use eftpos & phone at same time. I could do both + stream radio & TV

@andrew_blow @wendy_harmer @MikeCarlton01 @sarahgerathy Senate estimates covers a lot of the boring mundane stuff that affects everyone. The problem is that some hearings are timed to avoid much journalistic scrutiny (NBN used to be on late at night, routinely) or there is so much happening at same time that some issues get neglected.

Nope. Grok told me so. And in the worst case scenario traffic can be redirected from satellite to satellite to a ground based receiver outside of Australia. Does Starlink’s Traffic Use the NBN? Starlink, operated by SpaceX, provides satellite-based internet via a constellation of low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, delivering connectivity directly to user terminals (e.g., dishes) without relying on terrestrial broadband networks like the NBN for the core data transmission. Here’s the analysis: Technical Independence: Starlink’s service bypasses traditional ground-based infrastructure for the bulk of its data delivery. It uses its own network of satellites and ground stations (e.g., the Boorowa, NSW station) to connect users, meaning its traffic doesn’t route through NBN’s fiber, copper, or satellite (Sky Muster) networks. This is a key selling point—rural Australians like Grant Vowles in Tasmania switched from NBN to Starlink for speeds up to 200 Mbps, far exceeding Sky Muster’s 25-100 Mbps, precisely because it operates independently. Integration with Local Providers: However, partnerships like Telstra’s resale of Starlink services introduce nuances. Telstra Satellite Internet, powered by Starlink, includes a Smart Modem with a Wi-Fi home phone line, suggesting some integration with local networks for ancillary services (e.g., voice over Wi-Fi). Yet, the primary internet traffic—data downloads and uploads—still relies on Starlink’s satellite link, not NBN infrastructure. The requirement for a Starlink Ethernet Adaptor to connect to Telstra’s modem further indicates a separate data path, not a handover to NBN. Critical View: The establishment narrative often frames Starlink as a direct competitor “bleeding” NBN customers (e.g., 200,000 users by 2025), implying a clean break. But the lack of transparency about backhaul (e.g., how ground stations connect to global internet) leaves room for doubt—some data might indirectly touch NBN or other Australian networks at peering points. Still, no evidence suggests Starlink’s core traffic depends on NBN, making the answer largely no.

@McB72706194 I had FTTP NBN which had been with them for months and when it stopped working they told me NBN wasn't available at my address & the box must've been installed but not connected to the network. The apartment had been there for 11 years at the time

@ArsenBalls I get heaps of data I never use on my phone. I tried to just use that instead of paying for NBN to stream but it was impossible.

My dish is installed in a terrible location. With A dense canopy of trees above it. I'm amazed it works at all. It does have brief interruptions but i still get solid speeds. Still far superior to the NBN satellite service my folks use next door. (I'm in Australia) That seems like dial-up compared to the Starlink. I'll mount the dish in a good location eventually... My only gripe is the price.

@dogeofficialceo I just got Starlink installed. I live next door to my parents and they still use the NBN satellite broadband (in Australia) and it is so painfully slow that i usually give up half way through doing nearly anything. Yep.

@gigabasedd Change to StarLink, Elon Musk's global online service. I know I sound like an advert, but his system bypasses the local NBN or ISP and has a satellite phone service.

@AlboMP Why waste your time and taxpayers money pretending to protect kids?. The government monopoly NBN internet service is constantly down. No warnings, no apologies, no refunds for the service not delivered. It’s a disgrace and sums up your useless government perfectly.

The NBN has been offline multiple times in recent weeks. We no longer are advised when it is down. Then NBN websites often, as now, deny it is down. What has changed to this very expensive government monopoly?

@ZappedAU You can do a 250 x 100 or 500 x 200 on BASE NBN plans or 250 x 250 or 500 x 500 on NBN Enterprise but costly. The biggest problem we have is that WW servers are filling up with stuff that might get very few views this actually costs us more money for paid Google of MSFT plans.
