    @markhumphries Can’t you give the property a bad review, ie owner won’t pay NBN a once only fee . Surely if enough people do it it will catch on . Should be the responsibility of the owner and part of the allure of the property

  • SallyLawry 💧Sally Lawry (@SallyLawry) reported

    @markhumphries @NBN_Australia Seems unfair that a renter pay for NBN twice . Can you take the issue to Telco and or local member and other MPS. Owner organised NBN for new houses next door . ? Subsidised . Need to lobby to change. The most vulnerable are hit . The owner must be able to write off as tax.

    @markhumphries The NBN is rubbish - you are better off hotspotting your phone. I have to do this often at home. I get slow speeds and regular texts from my ISP about yet more NBN service interruptions in my area. NBN are fixing the crappy old cable network that they re-used in the roll-out.

    @Telstra Hold with you is 6k in credit. But apparently the two account can't be merged. Your nbn tech support said it would be fine but alas I have no internet to do simple work tasks. The service I receive from you is not worthy of 10+ years of business and my 50+ services

    @SteveJohnsonCAD @markhumphries Part of the issue is that there's nothing stopping a landlord advertising a property as "NBN ready" because the NBN has done the physical install, even though the connection fee hasn't been paid.

    @NBN_Australia Yeah, I just want a decent service #FixTheNBN

    @georbear And I think all new builds have to have NBN connection, no other option either. So if classed as an essential service, there need to be standards to be maintained like electricity etc. Then there's the wireless 5G internet options, but they aren't available everywhere yet

    @markhumphries I connected with a TPG wireless. No connection fee & no cost for router. I don’t have FTN or FTH NBN here. When you move you can let them know & take it with you or send it back. Telstra & Optus not an option, don’t work here. As a city metro resident you won’t have a problem

  • marauderlil90 Lil (@marauderlil90) reported

    @georbear Yeah exactly. The problem with a lot of connections is you can only connect internet with NBN now, no other option. So if you rent a house with a phone line but no NBN, the provider will only allow for an NBN connection. With that comes the $300 setup fee.

  • hutcho66 James Hutcheon (@hutcho66) reported

    @julie_library @markhumphries In apartment buildings etc, the developer pays to get all the wiring done and the main connection to NBN, but each apartment has to pay the fee for someone to allocate a line to the individual apartment. That fee can't be prepaid by the owner, it gets paid on first service.
