  To my Aussie friends: Wasn't the idea behind the NBN (National Broadband Network) to ensure that everyone had access to free (or at the very least inexpensive) internet? What happened? How much are you paying for internet access?

  @robb_j_m Starlink. Prior to that we had a satellite connection through the NBN in our rural area which was a bit of a nightmare. They brought in this 'fair use' clause that if you went over a certain amount, you'd get suspended, but it was never terribly clear if you were approaching your limit. It was a rolling limit. I don't know if they still have it. Probably. And then our plan, the larger one, was removed and we were put on some weird sort of plan that gave us no real allocation where we couldn't even watch youtube. Really shabby way to treat customers. Starlink is reliable, has good speeds and no limits on usage, and we never get throttled. It's about $135 a month, but we're happy to pay. We'd never go back to NBN.

  @iluminatibot I worked on the NBN my team was wrecked by the magnetic radiation we all new you cant be near high levels for a hour even. They turned the towers off for my team or it was maximum 10 minutes on the site at a time. The feeling is very very bad. I feel sorry for anyone who lives near high electromagnetic radiation. Another form is a VR very dangerous to children under 12 I've seen the damage a VR can do also 10 min at a time.

  @robb_j_m I'm paying $99 for Gigabit, with NBN just giving me a FTTP upgrade at no extra cost. My parents paid $120 for 7Mbs a decade ago until NBN finally gave them FTTN. Price per speed on the higher end has absolutely come down in price compared to the pre-NBN duopoly.

  @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
