  @DickBranson NBN though moved scope with the election of the libs and then reverted back to scope. That was the blowout there. NDIS has been less of a funding problem than an administration one.

  @NBN_Australia idk if this is an NBN issue or my ISP issue but since about Tuesday my internet witch has FTTP all of the sudden became slow and I can’t even look up anything sometimes and my internet hasn’t been like that since I got FTTP.

  @Fil_S69 @bluewavedream Except you're wrong, wireless is a shared medium, the more people on it the slower it goes. Before you lot were all "5g will be better than nbn" but now if you go anywhere a lot of people have phones (fireworks/games)... hows your service?

  @BritishHodl @dansemperepico Not in UAE, but Australian NBN sucks in Sydney, so changing to Starlink as there’s a free hardware offer and it’s now cheaper than NBN. I also like that Starlink is funding getting to Mars. 🚀

  @bluewavedream Delphi thinks she is an expert in communications technology because she did a search on the internet. A small amount of knowledge to form a simplistic view to a complex problem. In case you didn't know Dumbo, Starlink did not exist when the NBN started.

  @Mark_Graph Goodness. A long and extremely expensive list. Re NBN, just threw out my NBN router and got a 5G router instead. NBN is awful not just faults but the fact that you can’t deal with them direct to fix those faults. Disconnect between Telcos and NBN is a structural flaw.

  @Someozbloke @deniseshrivell That's good in your circumstance. But it has been reported by others. I was more addressing why NBN is not a waste. The reason you still hear about it these days having issues is because of LNP screwing it up with a mixed technology approach. FTTP does not have these drawbacks.

  @NBN_Australia Why has there been 5 outages in the span of 3 weeks at my address? One planned outage followed by 4 unplanned. Getting beyond a joke now.

  Additionally, my internet has been spotty since yesterday, I've already organised my ISP to swap out my old NBN box which I've had since we first switched to NBN for a shiny new one. But just in case I need to cancel stream, I'll try to make up the hours elsewhere!

  I am too lazy to proof read and edit the below from grok, we had a chat in the car and below is the direct output for a post from grok, 85% my intent but could use some polish… (it gave me 3x image prompts, images from grok attached are also not proofed.) - enjoy: Why Starlink Roam Falls Flat in Australia (And How to Fix It) Honest opinion: Starlink Roam is brilliant on paper—$80 a month for 100GB priority data, perfect for caravans, motorhomes, or pros working on the go in the outback. But in reality? It’s poop for mobile use. Australia’s endless trees, dense bushland, and tunnels (think Bruce Highway or any regional drive) block the line-of-sight to satellites constantly. You’re crawling along at zero bars half the time, burning data elsewhere or offline entirely. Great for static campsites, useless in motion. The glaring hardware oversight: No LTE/cellular failover. Starlink Mini (or next-gen) should’ve shipped with an eSIM slot for Australian carriers like Telstra or Optus. When sats fail, auto-switch to 4G/5G local network as a hotspot—seamless, like your phone. Caveat: ACMA spectrum rules (IMT bands for terrestrial mobile) might need carrier partnerships, but it’s doable—Telstra/Optus already partner with Starlink for direct-to-device sat-to-phone using those bands. NBN fixed-wireless modems do exactly this: SIM failover when fibre/cable drops, approved under existing regs. If it’s green for NBN, it should be for Starlink Roam. Pricing fix for AU market: Base $19 add-on for up to 10% cellular failover (10GB on the $80 plan), covering Starlink’s wholesale data costs. Double to $38 for 100% cellular option if you’re in eternal tree hell. Keeps it affordable, competitive with eSIM hotspots, and actually usable. Starlink, take notes—Gen3 Mini or beyond, make it hybrid. Aussie travellers deserve better. What do you reckon? Roll it out!

  @Borindas_Lament @pikey14 Like the NDIS or the NBN or Snowy were "costed"? They seem to be the only party talking about actually reducing spending, fraud and waste. Like all parties they will over promise and under deliver but at least they are raising these things as actual issues
