  @jera_nichols @jackieaus @Starlink I'm Northern Beaches Sydney. The slightest change in the weather or HAARP signals - Chem Trails, all affect the signal which drops out as a result. It also drops out at 6.15pm EST most evenings. I run another NBN service in tandem as I run an internet based business from home.

  As a recent customer of Starlink, this has to be among the biggest runways in business. Only ~500k connections in Australia, apparently still >8.5m suffering through our joke of an NBN... That's just the opportunity in our little tinpot country.

  @senbmckenzie AUKUS is an LNP brain fart. It should NEVER have proceeded. Australians tighten their belts & miss out on essentials like: Health/Dental/Aged/NDIS/Climate Action/Housing/DV Action/NBN/CSIRO/Education /First Nations …

  @NBN_Australia Once again our useless service is dropping out. Thanks to the destructive & stupid @hontonyabbott (NOT Hon.) & complicit @turnbullmalcolm some of us are stuck with the useless satellite service. Years of promises of fixed wireless or something but … NOTHING

  @TTAlwaysWins NBN came and told me that it was my network, not the NBN. This is utter BS as the blue DSL light flashing has nothing to do with my network.

  Amazon Leo 🇦🇺 Australia NBN and Amazon’s LEO satellite internet service pushed to 2027 NBN Co and Amazon’s planned low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite-powered internet service is still a while away, with the latest update indicating a mid 2027 launch. It comes a year after the initial announcement confirming NBN Co’s partnership with Amazon. At the time, mid-2026 was the estimated start of the Amazon Leo (then known as Project Kuiper) satellite rollout. Now, the rollout is set to start “around mid-2027”, according to an online update attributed to Gavin Williams, NBN Co’s Chief Development Officer, Regional and Remote. Accompanying the announcement were more details about the NBN LEO service. As the rollout commences, NBN’s new satellite service “will be progressively available to homes and businesses across the NBN satellite footprint”. To begin with, eligible Australians will be able to access LEO internet “through participating Australian internet providers”. NBN Co also confirmed wholesale speed options of either 50Mbps downloads and 10Mbps uploads, or 100Mbps/20Mbps. Although those speeds aren’t higher than NBN’s existing satellite internet technology, the soon-to-be-retired Sky Muster array encounters notable speed drops during peak usage times, according to the ACCC’s Measuring Broadband Australia report. Sky Muster relies on geostationary (GEO) satellites, which orbit roughly 36,000km above Earth. LEO satellites operate much closer, with Amazon’s technology set to orbit at around 600 km. With less distance to travel, NBN’s upcoming service should improve latency and overall internet speeds for those reliant on satellite connectivity. By transitioning to the new satellite technology, NBN aims to compete more strongly alongside Starlink for rural Australians. ACCC’s reporting measured Starlink’s average download speed at 230.4Mbps on its premium $150 monthly Residential Max plan. For now, NBN Co plans to start testing the LEO service “later this year”, followed by customer trials before the intended mid-2027 launch.
