  @TheJawnzz @robb_j_m You were on a **** deal you can get 100mb/s NBN for $500/year. Shop around, look for deals.

  @DrewPavlou Look past high speed rail Drew. The future is self driving cars. We should be making the roads better and safer. Throwing money at rail now is like throwing money at nbn for remote Australians 10 years ago. Waste of money when starlink fixed the problem.

  @MurrayWatt This is NBN Mk2 - scrap a system that will work in the long term for an overpriced short term solution.

  @robb_j_m NBN is free, however the providers are the ones who charge. But the infrastructure itself has always been free. They upgraded our home for free, changed over faulty equipment, for free. As for price get about 300mbps DL for $80 a month. Not bad. Super reliable. Happy.

  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.

  @jeff32567916 @australian He recognised that NBN via wifi (using mobile phone network) is a bad idea, when the mobile phone towers back up battery's go flat (couple if hours) we have no communication at all, we should all still have wired communication but we don't so it's very easy to switch it all off

  @larrikinstreak @robb_j_m The ISP pays a significant portion of the price of a service to NBN. I don’t know where you pulled your **** from to think it was free, but perhaps go fling it somewhere else.

  @TMFScottP I was a gamer and hated ADSL living outside of a state capital it was ****. NBN to me personally would have been great, but blowing that money that money on shortsighted populism didnt sit well with me. Seemed shortsighted.
