  @NBN_Australia sure enough this problem still isn’t resolved. Outage page has been showing us as facing network degradation all week. Regular dropouts and slow connectivity. Will you ever fix this???

  @Olfella @FetchStep @Vikkik88 Australia's National Carrier should never have been privatised. Nor any of our other services infrastructure. Telstra was sold by, and the NBN ******-up by the Howard/Abbott/Turnbull govts (and Murdoch) so we could be ripped off and suffer the inferior services by private telcos.

  @88888sAccount Best to wait till Telstra or the NBN is down again and then really rub it in the face.

  @NBN_Australia when are you going to fix internet connectivity in St Ives. At least two weeks of regular dropouts and slow service and it just keeps getting worse

  @TheLucidyn @Batman2242 No, it was a very bad idea, the original OPAL idea was excellent, a public private partnership to lift rural speeds up to that of the cities and was costed at about $4 billion. Rudd screwed that up with massive mission creep and created the NBN.

  @VoteLewko @Starlink This is exactly why we need billionaires and trillionaires to do things that our governments always completely fails to do. So glad we wasted billions of our dollars on a rubbish NBN service huh

  A guy moved into a new apartment. Only “official” internet was FTTN NBN — $90/month for a pathetic 30 Mbps down max. He called Telstra and Optus. Both said “5G Fixed Wireless not available at your address.” He checked a cell tower map anyway. Half a dozen towers within a couple km. Bought a GL.iNet GL-X3000NR 5G router + built a DIY 4x4 MIMO LPDA external antenna. Result? 800 Mbps download / 170 Mbps upload. 25x faster. $75/month. Same building. Here’s exactly how he did it 🧵

  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.

  @Slav636 @ianclarkeAU True, but I lived in outer Melbourne all my adult life and we always had awful and expensive internet. I’ve moved even further out now, trying to escape people, and the NBN is life changing. Whether city people should be subsidizing us is a fair debate though

  @Batman2242 Much worse. Starlink is an infinely better service; higher speeds, low latency. NBN satellite cross subsidy alone is more than a starlink subscription. NBN satellites are EOL, they've contracted Amazon's Kuiper for replacement rather than proven starlink 🤪 They hate Elon
