  @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.

  @ianclarkeAU @CovfefeDnUnder The NBN cannot do it now, but the optic fibres it uses can. Only the gear at either end changes. There is not a wireless system in existence that could carry the existing load of the NBN, let alone future needs. Talk to a network engineer, please.

  @RobertW51136192 @Slav636 The cross subsidy is exactly the point. NBN was never the right solution for outer suburbs.

  You’re not trying to do remote IT support to the mother in law on their stupidly slow 12/1mbps NBN FTTC plan 4hrs drive away and it keeps dropping you out? Sad! **ARGHHH

  @the_vocal_one @ianclarkeAU @CovfefeDnUnder Of course it applies. I never said it didn't. How much detail would you like in a single X post? The OP is claiming the NBN is obsolete. It is nothing of the sort, and the bandwidth disparity is the entire reason why, and that isn't changing anytime soon, as you say.

  We pay the highest costs for our nbn, fttb etc yet our services are substandard, yet again, service provision in Australia fails dismally. I have made 3 calls, long wait times, non local call centre operators ie offshored. Right when Australians need jobs to pay expensive living

  @Prowerock1 @VoteLewko @Starlink I myself ended up with a Telstra 5G modem also. It just shows that NBN was not the way to go. Even back when they decided to go with NBN it was obvious it was dated technology and for Australia it has never delivered the service it needs.

  @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 🧡

  @Ozzytourer The only thing that Labor has done that has worked if fixing the ******* mess they made with the NBN but in typical Labor fashion they want the internet to be censored because of "protecting kids" Well at least there's now an entire generation that'll never vote for the *****.
