  @MarkoMatvikov Last time I was with them it was a challenge to escape, so I never went back, I had a bad experience with canceling Vodafone too. With Aussie they are good but still have to deal with the NBN monster 👿

  @asphotos Science isn't going to help when the system is clogged because the NBN is down and many thousands of people are trying to find workarounds. Telstra in the park has collapsed, and Optus is struggling.

  Between the NBN upgrade and my new drive, I downloaded a 10GB movie last night in 4 minutes! I was astounded. Came back with a cup of tea, prepared to spend half an hour or so waiting, and it was done and part way through another. On an unrelated note, **** Disney.

  @BamBam0667 @EnergyWrapAU No, nbn has cost far more due to LNP. LNP original costing: Promised $29.5B (2013 election); revised to $41B in Strategic Review. The evidence is that in the caucus , as detailed in Turnbull’s book, Abbott simply wanted LNP to be contrarian about nbn. They stopped the fibre rollout and replaced it with copper. At the time, LNPs message that nbn would go over budget was favoured due to a complicit media. For instance, when the ABC science editor did a comprehensive comparison between labour’s FTTP and LNP copper, the report was spiked until after the election, due to ABC management wanting to appease LNP. Then, under LNP, ABC did not have a science editor. Consider the subsequent dearth of reporting by ABC in following years about the biggest infrastructure project ever. Consider that Turnbull appointed a former business associate to be chair of ABC whilst a Director of NBN snd whilst a ceo of a supplier to NBN with a $100m contract for design and fabrication of copper based distribution boxes, which have subsequently been removed. So there is no surprise that the public were force fed the line that all that glitters is copper. The reality set in when the deterioration of the copper network became apparent to punters. The cost of NBN is now at approx $50B with $54B to 2030 to due to the replacement costs of LNPs copper systems with fibre. So Abbott and Turnbull cost the country many billions not to mention the years of misery and lost productivity by prolonging the copper network.

  When the ALP talks up something like the NDIS or the NBN and says that it will help increase productivity, what do you think they mean

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

  @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

  JFC NBN is absolutely dog ****. The 3rd world has better internet than this amateur backwater **** show. A monopolised racket propped up by taxpayers just like the ABC @NBN_Australia
