    @Deligracy No, this is closely guarded but what is wisely known is classifying the NBN as a commercially entity, to keep it off the national books (making them look better) means nodes are up to 500m distant. Upgrading to fibre won't fix NBN pricing (congestion) as a result either.

    NBN BATTERY PROTIP unless you actually have a wired phone they do not offer anything and you can take the battery out - you just open the box. Grab the terminals and slide them off - and they never beep again! Every place we have been in with NBN has had its battery tossed.

    If I was NZ I would do the same thing! Rub our lazy Au Netflix binging faces in the fact we settled for a third rate access network #nbn @MRowlandMP @SenatorFifield @AUSenator

    @DonWestley1 @TheCalebBond @theMickMorris @SkyNewsAust @Foxtel Yep, you will probably find I have tweeted that video a few times already ;) It must be tricky to do a story for SkyNews on the #NBN without loosing you job by blaming the Libs - words were carefully chosen to make the entire NBN concept look bad...it's not, obviously.

    @StevensAsh @DavidSo24895212 Yes Labor did say $41b to build their gold plated NBN. Of course they never built it so we don't know how much it really would have cost. The LNP version was cheaper yet has cost a lot more. I'm certain if Labor had built their version it would have been over $100B.

    @NBN_Australia I rely on the internet for my design business The lack of reliable service puts my income and ability to service customers at risk I'd appreciate a plan to fix the issue. One obvious step is to relocate to a closer pit

    @gusworldau @NBN_Australia It’s frustrating when you know more about the problem than the person copying and pasting boilerplate yet you’re powerless to fix it.

    Thoughtful NBN fibre additions just announced, only the cynical would consider it a deliberate pre-election ploy. Scott n Co would never do such a thing. Tasmania, ACT and NT are not part of this initiative, there words to be said over this which would attract a "disappearance"

    @AusIndiMedia Your NBN couldn’t be that slow could it??

  • Technorants
    Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @czuio @NBN_Australia @Deborah_ONeill I could see no reason why it couldn't for exactly the point you make. You could also simplify it and include a UNI-V like port for a voice service (VoDSL) and a simple diagnostic page to indicate line sync etc. @NBN_Australia need to consolidate the end point to simplify it

  • ClarkGreenaway

    @toadmeister @guardian Sorry Toby, you are being mislead by the Guardian as usual. Netflix states you need 5Mbs for HD quality viewing. Every Australian on the NBN has at least 10Mbs connection. The ALP stated the NBN would cost $40 billion dollars not $15 and it was never going to happen for that.

    HFC is a black hole - you can't model a national communications network off what a commerical entity has done overseas #nbn There objective is to keep it above water.

    @Telstra This is not much help as this has been going on for weeks so I suggest you contact the nbn and get this sorted thank you. Such failures around communication when dealing with the elderly some like my parents have no idea about this.

    @peter_c_william @RichardTuffin @NBN_Australia Project Management failure at all levels. Including piss poor contractor management. You could have the best tools available (aka Engineers) and still use them incorrectly...#nbn

    @CharlieKeegan1 @masonsixtencox Maybe they should get a few kegs and fix the NBN while they're at it!

    @Telstra NBN speed slow and dropping out in Flynn act is there issue

    Australia is drowning, rather than surfing, thanks to ScoMo’s LNP. “... after spending $51 billion on a second-rate obsolete network the Coalition government’s plan for the NBN has been a total failure”. #AusPol

    Quote from @NBN_Australia" One of the challenges nbn has identified are premises that are located too far away from existing nbn™ network assets- Fibre to the Node Cabinet (typically where copper lines exceed 1.3km)" Talk about a no #nbn shit statement

    Nano is green money🥦 (@alexjohnward) reported

    @rakeau @ianclarkeAU I have wireless nbn, it's pretty bad but much better than nothing. Starlink would maybe be cheaper and better but I think the price will go up so not switching just yet.

  • BrowntownBrew
    Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported

    @UrbanHubbard @TheLucidyn @Batman2242 A fibre network was a sound investment. It's the part of the #nbn that's actually profitable. But the libs killed the economics when they tried to reuse the crippled copper. Meanwhile Turnbull was investing in fibre rollouts in Europe

  • birdof_paradox
    birdof paradox (@birdof_paradox) reported

    @Olfella @FetchStep @Vikkik88 Australia's National Carrier should never have been privatised. Nor any of our other services infrastructure. Telstra was sold by, and the NBN ******-up by the Howard/Abbott/Turnbull govts (and Murdoch) so we could be ripped off and suffer the inferior services by private telcos.

  • bcg1976
    Not for you (@bcg1976) reported

    @BilsonhBilson The public can buy it if they want. It's a public company. I wouldn't with starlink cellular about tk come online. Just like I wouldn't have bought it's copper network off it for the NBN. How has that public turkey worked out?

  • harrypanopticon

    @SandyXiaotong For the fact that she had such a bloody big mouth on NBN and towards Malcolm Turnbull, she got awful quiet on NBN.

    @Batman2242 Our nbn network is a joke!

  • Prowerock1
    peter rowe (@Prowerock1) reported

    @Martywa467 @VoteLewko @Starlink NBN faults are dealt with via the telcos. After four cancelled appointments by NBN after Telstra said it was an NBN issue ( it was), I bought a Telstra 5G router and threw out the NBN box. I would prefer Starlink but it has a congestion charge in our area of $700.

    @GregNordo @AllBiteNoBark88 I just had another go with Optus. Literally no internet during peak hrs. Their NBN is unbelievably bad, even my business plan was dropping out 20 times a day. Aldi it is.....

  • Natho369
    Nathan 1974 (@Natho369) reported

    @VoteLewko @Starlink I have a fixed and a mobile Starlink and neither have let me down, the NBN & our mobile phone network on the other hand is the opposite.

  • ianattheherald
    IAN KIRKWOOD (@ianattheherald) reported

    @strangerous10 @AlanJMitchell_ Yep. And Canberra complaining about the privatised Telstra is like me selling someone a second-hand car and hitching about what the new owners did with it. I’m serious. And we should surely have enough computing power to know now how the sharemarket dabbling went for those “battlers” who bought Telstra shares as encouraged by the privatising PM John Howard. After taxes, accountants, inflation, fees & Telstra’s bad (or deliberate?) policy choices around the National Broadband Network, my guess would be: not that well. And speaking of the NBN, remember the smart nodding and talking heads saying we wouldn’t need this much capacity etc. Be a few archived interviews from that era that will not have aged well. The same equation repeats throughout history. 1. “This is ridiculous” 2. “It has some uses” 3. “We’ve always supported this! What are you talking about.” Progress moves by the death of generations, as much as by technology. My parents hated ATMs. Didn’t trust them. I don’t trust the thing I’m writing this on. Children now will one day look back on such antiquated things as hand-held devices and “wonder how people used something so clumsy”. Etc
