  **** useless NBN installer couldn't even keep a 4 hour appointment window and then cancelled the install, making us wait another 9 days before they get their **** together and just ******* connect the service I've paid for. #NBN

  @mark16pg If it was up to Turnbull, we would have had a working NBN. Lucky we listened to the other ********* and ended up with the **** show we have now.

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

  @ASX1500 Depends on property size and what kind of nbn you have at your house. But we used to run these ubiquiti links between parts of the site ( main mine -> contractor dongas ) with no issues. Something to consider.

  @Mark_Graph Goodness. A long and extremely expensive list. Re NBN, just threw out my NBN router and got a 5G router instead. NBN is awful not just faults but the fact that you can’t deal with them direct to fix those faults. Disconnect between Telcos and NBN is a structural flaw.

  @mrru5s3ll @LCHF_Matt @pikkkkaro this is the only decent explanation for what he said that could make sense. the only other way is if his NBN is unstable. because if you have a gigabit connection you need a router capable of it and they all have fine wifi by aus standards , which I would argue is **** but w/e

  @chopwisegamji @BobBurn97207272 No infrastructure build is complete lie though, what about West Connex and Bruce highway. Upgrade on Adelaide Hospital, Footscray hospitals and NBN ( never liked it) all done during last 29 years. And don’t forget labour sold of remaining Telstra ownership on 2011!! Come at me

  @NBN_Australia no NBN service in Cherrybrook 2126 from this morning there has been HFC replacement recently nearby was it because the project missed cutting the HFC cable for internet then caused the unplanned outage and when it is back?

  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.
