  The NBN has been offline multiple times in recent weeks. We no longer are advised when it is down. Then NBN websites often, as now, deny it is down. What has changed to this very expensive government monopoly?

  Dear Prime Minister @AlboMP, you should have by this time a number of reports including the ' Optus NBN scam' and alternative energy sources. If not, the problem is at your end. Ban lobbyists from Parliament House, vet your staff. I can be found for a ☕.Canberra👎 Respectfully

  Week+ without internet thanks to @SuperloopAU’s botched transition & @nbnaustralia’s inability to send a technician. Forced to run on mobile hotspot. Superloop never warned us NBN would force FTTC→FTTP switch. Costs mounting daily. #SuperloopFail #NBNFail #SydneyInternet

  @ArsenBalls I get heaps of data I never use on my phone. I tried to just use that instead of paying for NBN to stream but it was impossible.

  @fainty6 @bradfogarty101 As am I. Didn't see it as the nbn is down here. I will still take the try as fans of other teams take the try when they are scored from forward passes.

  🇦🇺 Starlink Ground Stations and the NBN Based on the available information, it appears that Starlink ground stations are not directly linked to the NBN (National Broadband Network). While some Starlink ground stations may be located near NBN infrastructure, the connection to the internet is facilitated through various backhaul methods, which may include fiber optic cables or other private networks, rather than directly through the NBN. Starlink ground stations serve as critical nodes in the Starlink network, connecting the satellite constellation to the global internet. These stations use high-speed fiber optic cables to connect to data centers, ensuring low latency and high-speed data transfer. The exact backhaul methods used by Starlink are not explicitly detailed, but it is known that Starlink operates as an independent ISP and has its own network infrastructure. In summary, while there may be some overlap in infrastructure locations, Starlink ground stations are not directly linked to the NBN. Instead, they utilize their own backhaul connections to provide internet services.

  @QuentinDempster But people can still purchase Starlink like they can now? I mean it is always good to have a choice. And knowing NBN pricing Starlink will probably turn out to be a cheaper & faster service.

  While Starlink provides nationwide coverage in Australia with speeds up to 270 Mbps, NBN's 2026 partnership with Amazon's Project Kuiper aims to offer a government-backed alternative for rural areas, targeting 300,000 sites with high-speed LEO service. This reduces reliance on private providers and ensures competitive options— not waste, but strategic investment.

  @GreenTyler27 You'll need to avoid flying as well, air traffic control is publicly funded. Hope you never need to avail yourself of the judicial system, or the BOM. Parks and public transport are also out. I presume you used dial up to post your nonsense, because the NBN isn't for you either.
