  Im also not claiming it 100% never happened. Or that I was 100% wrong. As I’ve seen no real evidence to disprove this is false either. But if it wasn’t said directly in the BBN server I don’t wanna act like it is. Even if YouTubers and NBN devs supported it to be unintentionally.

  @lowlandsapien Never forget the NBN rollout either.

  @mich___l @2GB873 That doesn't help the thousands of homes who are still without NBN many years and many billions of dollars later.

  @ArtistAffame That's not bad. The only option I have where I am is Fixed Wireless. Essentially 4G/5G cell tower and fixed "antenna" on the roof. NBN service via iinet (TPG). Given the distance from the tower I only get a portion of the theoretical maximum throughput. Costs more than your plan.

  @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?

  @PieNorthern I haven't had a problem in ages... since we upgraded to NBN high speed. Hate to say it but it might be a tech problem. Although I do get it!

  @taipan168 Many corporatised, but publicly owned, entities provide great service. NBN is pretty good for example. Even Australia Post isn’t bad. Govt doesn’t have to equal bad and is much more preferable in monopoly and quasi-monopoly environments.

  @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
