    @dogeofficialceo I just got Starlink installed. I live next door to my parents and they still use the NBN satellite broadband (in Australia) and it is so painfully slow that i usually give up half way through doing nearly anything. Yep.

  • __Andyland__ Andyland (@__Andyland__) reported

    @Starlink @grok why is Australia choosing to go for project Kuiper, which doesn’t exist yet, instead of starlink available right now, to solve its NBN fail for rural customers? What’s the strongest reasons and the cost comparison?

    🇦🇺 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.

    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?

  • OldSapper94713 Old Sapper (@OldSapper94713) reported

    @gigabasedd Change to StarLink, Elon Musk's global online service. I know I sound like an advert, but his system bypasses the local NBN or ISP and has a satellite phone service.

  • razzaknows Just Jeff (@razzaknows) reported

    @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.

    @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.

    @QuentinDempster I currently use NBN satellite internet. OK during the day, not up to scratch in the evening. Been trying to get it fixed for a month. Still crap, no discount or refund for poor service.
