  @news_australian Stick it where it fits Malcolm, and your NBN plan for Australia is a piece of crap.

  @wilburston @robb_j_m I highly doubt any satellite service is better than NBN unless you're literally not in the coverage area.

  @robb_j_m $90 a month. NBN Wireless through Telstra. Good service. Few faults. 6 person house so many devices.

  @AvidCommentator I have abandoned NBN. Service is atrocious as it is mediated through the Telcos. You can’t get to an NBN tech directly. They cancelled five appointments made for me via Telstra saying not an NBN problem. But it was just like the other three times. Now have Telstra 5 G. So simple

  @eevblog @Aussie_BB Been on on Starlink maybe 5 years. I can remember one outage because of a Solarflare. Wireless NBN was every other day. Good old Govt again

  The Labor Budget 🙄 So far all I see is nothing to help or support now, $250 in 2028. Ffs everyone has been left behind. We're spending more than that additionaly on groceries, fuel , insurances, nbn, etc etc. Where's the relief.

  @ItsMissShorty @robb_j_m Just want to help you with your terminology. Wifi (802.11x) is free, it’s the technology between the router/modem and your device. NBN or Internet service provider is the ongoing cost. You can use NBN and not use Wifi, you plug a network cable between the router and your computer. If you hotspot your phone or have a 5G hotspot device, that still uses Wifi between that device and the other devices connected to it. You’re still using Wifi if you have multiple devices using the mobile data. All you’ve changed is the internet connection from being NBN (which is typically fibre, phone line, or point to point wireless (not WiFi) - and maybe the latter is what you go rid of and have conflated the two different wireless technologies. Considering you are likely still using Wifi, and now also 5G, health benefits aren’t improved. A healthier alternative is NBN or Starlink and cable connection (but obviously phones and many devices don’t support cables).

  @australian Even Tesla is made in China, so what is the actual issue here? This was sent from my Mac Mini, made in China, sitting on a desk made in China, connected to the NBN through a Wi-Fi gateway made in China, typed from my Logitech keyboard, made in China, while I sit in an office chair made in China, looking at a Samsung monitor made in, checks notes, Vietnam. At some point the argument has to get more precise than “China bad.” If the concern is connected vehicles, telemetry, firmware access, data storage, or fleet security for MPs, then make that argument properly and apply it consistently across all networked devices. But pretending Chinese EVs are uniquely suspicious while half the modern office supply chain is already Chinese-made is not analysis. My iPhone (made in China) is connected to my Apple Auto - driving me around tracking me on a GPS map, with a microphone that works, and the Head Unit (made in China) Where does it end?
