@Peter_Fitz The issue in the future will be people not needing the grid and "disconnecting". Eventually the grid will be required for properties and will be rolled into rates/land taxes or NBN equivalent.

@LeanHugeGraves When I made Aliyah 21 years ago, NBN gave a stipend, and then the state of Israel gave some financial help too for a year or so too.

@yoavkaufman I tried, but NbN wouldn't help when I was having problems finding a rabbi to sign my papers here in Montreal even though my gf was a Cantor and Grand Uncle was a war hero for the IDF after escaping the camps and fighting with the militia during WWII

@Starlink Starlink helped us out enormously, we had no fast internet, Telstra in Australia wouldn't help, we are in a regional town where residents get the NBN but commercial district don't. We connect over 20 devices and 60 staff, can't do that without Starlink.

@SeacretMist @Starlink You kidding me compared to Australia services I’ve had bliss until one incident. If I was on NBN I would’ve clocked up at least 100 and something dollars in tech calls already.

I've never had nbn drop out more frequently than @DodoAustralia. Puts up the price and proceeds to get worse.

Australia’s NBN still relies on outdated market logic favoring providers over people, leaving many underserved. Despite broadband’s essential role, consumers face complexity, poor choice, and low empowerment. We must treat internet as a basic right, not a luxury. #AusPol

Robodebt was implemented exactly as Shorten had written it. NBN costs blew out because Labor China imposed tariffs because Scumo dared question the origins of Covid. (But Labor cause an over reliance on China since Rudd) Albo held a job summit during a worker shortage that would have driven wages, instead forcing mass migration suppressing wages much more than Libs. You are still falling for Mediscare? How's "you will only need your Medicare card to see the doctor? Both are ****.

@russ61 @goodfoodgal ScoMo completely decimated the NBN, turned it into an utter train wreck that continues to screw our country. Now we have this ****** network still being rolled out, we could’ve had fibre to, at least, nodes without being sold out.

@Telstra @nbn @NBN_Australia NBN emailed to say Telstra equipment so need to report to them. TIO can’t help - says it is a local council issue as pillar is on footpath. Half hour on hold to Telstra who says someone will respond in 3 to 5 days. Regretting I ever bothered. #auspol

@healy_mike9782 @leggylinky @FranMooMoo It is possible for NBN & cellular service providers to integrate a lot of parental controls (including content firewalling) which is already being done by network security appliances in the corporate world.

Michele A. Barard (@mabnola) reported
So the NBN connected to your home but it’s not quite fast enough. Upgrading to a faster speed might be one solution, it’s an ongoing cost & might not fix it. The best way to fix it is to reduce the number of devices using the wifi. What we recommend is extra NBN wall sockets.

I got a letter from nbn co. They’re spruiking fibre to the home, that thing we could’ve had but for Abbott & Turnbull. They say they’ve identified that my existing connection “is not working as well as we’d like it” Does that mean it’s not fit for purpose? Trade Practices Act?
