  @LambDownUnder @TheLucidyn @Batman2242 If you ignore the $30B and 9 years wasted on the failed LNP version. #nbn will be profitable and provide a nice return once all the MTM mess is removed from the network

  @ArtistAffame That's not bad. The only option I have where I am is Fixed Wireless. Essentially 4G/5G cell tower and fixed "antenna" on the roof. NBN service via iinet (TPG). Given the distance from the tower I only get a portion of the theoretical maximum throughput. Costs more than your plan.

  No wifi today, we've had some electrical problems, mainly to do with the washing machine. That just means a relaxing Sunday of playing them games (now that the electricity is on). (NBN always takes a long time to recover.)

  @taipan168 Many corporatised, but publicly owned, entities provide great service. NBN is pretty good for example. Even Australia Post isn’t bad. Govt doesn’t have to equal bad and is much more preferable in monopoly and quasi-monopoly environments.

  I saw a dog tethered to a tree on Weir Place Higgins, I thought the NBN installers put it there, to guard their gear. On the way back from Belconnen mall, I saw 2 pound workers rescuing the dog. They had a complaint and came to take it. I said it looked like the NBN guys or a

  NBN is legit useless Says Wifi will be back on at 5:30pm on Tuesday only for it to roll around to 5pm and then its updated to 5:30pm on Wednesday. Get off your hands and fix the problem you created you absolute idiots

  @VoteLewko @2GB873 Starlink is great if you're mobile, but you never want to use it to replace the nbn residential connections. The speeds and latency you get from a fttn/fttp connection are leagues better.

  @lesstenny Terdbull is full of ****. Just look at the failure of the NBN and Snowy Hydro 2.0.

  @sofewcharacters @VoteLewko @2GB873 Yes it is, but Starlink is terrible in cities, built up areas, and areas with lots of tree cover. It degrades pretty significantly in bad weather. It would also be terrible with a cities worth of people connected..... network congestion is a problem for satelite solutions (similar to the mobile network). Getting rid of the nbn network would be a monumentally bad idea.

  Speed is latency. No satellite connection is "high speed" sick of the disinformation. Starlink is 20ms-40ms+ latency like mobile garbage is. NBN is a whopping 600ms latency. They need to keep this junk away from fibre areas where I get 2ms latency and have had since 2022.
