  @CovfefeDnUnder @ianclarkeAU All network types have limits on the bandwidth (speed available to users), even wired ones... It's just that for fixed networks like the NBN, those limits are much, MUCH higher.

  @VoteLewko @Starlink I have a fixed and a mobile Starlink and neither have let me down, the NBN & our mobile phone network on the other hand is the opposite.

  @QuentinDempster Good to see you're finally admitting that the NBN was a badly thought out brain fart from day one. And the Gumbyment needed someone like Elon to demonstrate to them the proper way to provide such a service over vast distqances. Good to know.

  @UrbanHubbard @Batman2242 Turnbull botched it. The original fibre and fixed wireless sections of the NBN were worth doing. Switching to Fibre to the Curb was an expensive mistake that has already needed replacing in most areas. This isn’t a left/right issue, and that’s not my point anyway. You missed the core of my post. The NBN was and still is a good idea. It just needed far better design than the “back of a napkin” version under Rudd, and Turnbull shouldn’t have messed around with the plan the way he did. I worked with people who installed the cabnets during the transition and saw exactly what changed inside them. With over 20 years in the IT industry, I know what I’m looking at. My actual point is that comparing the NBN to Starlink is unfair. It’s like comparing the entire fixed telephone network to mobile phones in the 1990s. Mobiles were revolutionary, but they didn’t replace the fixed network they complemented it.

  Australia has free fibre internet. Nobody needs high latency satellite garbage in fibre areas. Being inflicted with Kband wireless radiation that could well be CIA subliminal messaging mind control signals like mobile is. Overbuilding NBN fibre should be prevented and ridiculous.

  @DoodyDarren @CovfefeDnUnder Can NBN do this? No, and it never will. Of course wired networks, such as aarpnet are way better for some applications. The fallacy is that NBN is about technology, when it’s about a cross subsidy.

  @oscarcsims also very confusing policy/reg space. govt essentially renationalised Telstra infrastructure in leasing a bunch of its assets to the NBN. yet Telstra still runs emergency services, payphones, landlines - not NBN. minimal economic incentives, maximal telco corporate welfare

  @strangerous10 @AlanJMitchell_ Yep. And Canberra complaining about the privatised Telstra is like me selling someone a second-hand car and hitching about what the new owners did with it. I’m serious. And we should surely have enough computing power to know now how the sharemarket dabbling went for those “battlers” who bought Telstra shares as encouraged by the privatising PM John Howard. After taxes, accountants, inflation, fees & Telstra’s bad (or deliberate?) policy choices around the National Broadband Network, my guess would be: not that well. And speaking of the NBN, remember the smart nodding and talking heads saying we wouldn’t need this much capacity etc. Be a few archived interviews from that era that will not have aged well. The same equation repeats throughout history. 1. “This is ridiculous” 2. “It has some uses” 3. “We’ve always supported this! What are you talking about.” Progress moves by the death of generations, as much as by technology. My parents hated ATMs. Didn’t trust them. I don’t trust the thing I’m writing this on. Children now will one day look back on such antiquated things as hand-held devices and “wonder how people used something so clumsy”. Etc
