  @C10885107738417 @QBCCIntegrity I didn't vote for ASX listed because I wouldn't want it to be like the NBN. Publicly funded private companies are the worst. If it was publicly owned and then sold in an IPO so the taxpayer gets their investment back then good.

  Your regular reminder: Snowy Hydro 2.0 was a stupid captain's pick by Malcolm Turnbull. Much like the NBN and Inland Rail. There were and are much better pumped hydro storage options. NSW did a whole investigation.

  Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott should go over and support the US and Israel himself. We won't forget the NBN.

  @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?

  @WazzaGc @PaulineHansonOz Omg don't get me started on the NBN... Mostly poorly designed network and rollout

  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.

  Can’t wait to get my @Starlink finally time to **** off my NBN.

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

  @Matt_Camenzuli @jabattoir13 @JuliaGillard I think she was worse than Turnbull. I must have missed other reasons Turnbull was terrible, but my one thing with him was wasting time and money on the NBN, we're still paying for full fibre rollout house-by-house, made sense to just do the lot once, less driving per-house.

  Proof of occupancy – this document request is another interesting thing. To ensure the application is from a real resident at the property, NBN sometimes needs proof, like a lease contract or water bills that match the applicant's name and address. However, this process can really delay provisioning. ISPs can check if the LOC ID is empty and see that no service is connected; they could just sign the customer up. If there is an existing service and the name on file doesn’t match, send a message to the new customer that provisioning is stuck for xxx reason. If the name on file matches, they can just hook them up. The process could be so much easier!
