  @DryFarmer24 @EnergyWrapAU No subsidies are involved. Underwriting, yes. Its government owned, so what ******** do you expect? NBN is its own commercial entity, underwritten by its owners. How is that anything but normal?

  @NBN_Australia Why has there been 5 outages in the span of 3 weeks at my address? One planned outage followed by 4 unplanned. Getting beyond a joke now.

  @Optus @optus_help 3rd day no NBN internet, so why do I pay $100 a month for no service? Superloop and Starlink looking very appealing right now. Maybe time for me to switch?

  Just spent 1.5hrs with my ISP figuring out why my NBN had died. He (from Indian, a nice chap) put me through hoops & then said that the NBN box is faulty but can't get a tech out till next Tue. Then a light bulb moment hit me & said, what if I look at the metre box - sure enough, something had tripped the circuit in the room the NBN is hooked up to. I just didn't need the added stress. Then he had the hide to ask me to 'rate his service'. Yeah - nah!

  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.

  @JEChalmers What a goose you are @JEChalmers . Just like old @SwannyQLD who sent a broke in the GFC. We live the nightmare now of the NDIS, NBN, net zero and a parasite public service of red tape. We are broke & going off a cliff under this incompetent, corrupt treacherous Labor government.

  @boganintel @AlboMP It's infuriating the situation this govt has got us into by not having any backbone WSE There has been no nation building since the NBN and Abbott wrecked that So many plans that could be implemented but nothing except a moronic sub deal that sucks $B out of the economy for what?

  I’ll second this. I note Albanese has no issue shackling the ALP’s NBN around our necks despite Telstra either.
