  • raywilton4 💧Ray Wilton 💧💦 (@raywilton4) reported from Lennox Head, State of New South Wales

    “Labor had spent around $6.5 billion on the NBN when the Coalition took power in 2013, with the government since splashing more than $44 billion of taxpayer funds to create what experts have described as an “obsolete” and “third-world” broadband network.” Arrogant f**king lnp.

    “Mr Mullen claimed that the NBN’s high wholesale pricing would force resellers to “withdraw or go broke”, with consumers ultimately losing out. “The downside of this in turn will be fewer service providers and ultimately higher broadband prices to the consumer,” Mr Mullen said.”

    “However, Internet Australia chair Paul Brooks slammed the report as “self-serving” & “disingenuous”. “Clearly [the NBN Co] have an image problem they’re trying to repair, and that image problem is justified,” Dr Brooks said. Speedtest ranks Australia 61st for broadband speed”

    @BelongAU Hello, I did check that NBN site last night and there was no outage reported. The service did return on it's own around 9pm. I got a email back from Belong support this morning to say that it was a "service update" which caused the outage.

  • sir_alex52 Alex D'Alessandro (@sir_alex52) reported

    @billygraveslfc @Optus Mate, you have no idea. I was without internet for 48 days a few years ago after a scheduled NBN service. I have 6 modems in boxes at home because all they wanted to do was send me one that "hopefully worked." It didn't take a genius to work out it was the street node failing.

    @hula_grl The space junk thing is a worry but the Starlink satellite service has so far been a lifesaver to us in regional VIC. The NBN satellite service got worse and worse and worse over recent years and ended up practically useless for us.

  • Ecoludologist Ben Rolfe 🌳 (@Ecoludologist) reported

    I live in a granny flat, and I've just successfully connected to the main house's network using ethernet over power (I've been on mobile internet - they're on wireless NBN) Download speed jumped 10x (and my mobile's not even shaped atm) I'm gonna STREAM ALL THE THINGS!!

  • thebigjohnnyd John Delmenico (@thebigjohnnyd) reported

    You think you find Turnbull’s NBN painful? The guy that stabbed me hid behind a node and jumped me from behind when I walked past, so if it wasn’t for the NBN I would have seen it coming. Worst of all the loading YouTube video I am watching is super painful.

  • grotwort Mike Sharp. (I'm the old fart) (@grotwort) reported

    @TomBurkeDarwin S'not my fault the NBN is so slow, Happy Birthday ya stroppy boy.

  • uminathereal Richie E (@uminathereal) reported

    @MFWitches Obviously, the NBN is so **** where he is, he can’t see video. No - just whining, bullshit artist lib.

  • daspyzz DaSpy (@daspyzz) reported

    @Neena_Kawaii Dayum you're getting FTTP NBN. You're really getting the best that Australia has to offer tho you should make sure you find a good ISP, my current one has issues on public holidays where the bandwidth isn't enough because the ISP didn't buy enough CVC.
