anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported@robb_j_m abandoned nbn fixed wireless service, so many outages, so many years paying for speeds they could not deliver, local shop could not run eftpos over it, even on a business plan. i'm on starlink now, stable, fast and only $9 a month more than nbn for 4 times the speed.

The Guru’s Wife (@TheGurusWife1) reported@robb_j_m NBN is unreliable in my area. I have Starlink $139 AUD per month Starlink is the only reliable service here

Craig Gardiner (@cwgardiner) reported@telstra reception in Vermont South (near Sewart close) is crap. I logged a call (INC 40508228) as a @Telstra Gold member 6 months ago, today they told me it was fixed. It ain’t fixed. Still no 4G/5G and I’m paying for 4G backup on my NBN modem. This is beyond a joke.

Stuart the Catman (@CatManSturty) reported@algorithmsayshi Seems to be a common issue with the NBA league pass and NBN providers sadly.

Dodgy Looks (@LooksDodgy) reported@robb_j_m Live out bush and had Satelite NBN - absolute crap - $89 pm. Telstra signal - absolute crap - $74 - 50Gig - pm. Swapped - Starlink - perfect internet and wifi calling - $139 pm - unlimited. Downgraded sim card to a cheap telstra operator - $25 pm. So total internet and phone went from $163 to $164 pm. That extra $1 quadrupled the speed and reception!

Tze-wei Chong 🇦🇺🧢 (@Tze_C) reported@GeoffWilsonWAM @theAZtrader @ausgov Fully agree. Other than new property development which should still be benefit for housing supply. Poor structural reform that will impact future generations and brain drain Australia. Funding via NDIS / NBN restructure would have been far easier and more beneficial

Salvator Mundi (@thelostleonardo) reported@EnergyWrapAU NBN generates revenue and pays down its costs over time. How can you compare that to NDIS which is a huge ongoing cesspool of fraud and waste.

𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒍 𝑺𝒄𝒐𝒕𝒕 𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘𝒔 🇦🇺 (@DanielSMatthews) reported@eevblog I have both, NBN service stability is far less than Starlink's, so it is my backup. I could probably push traffic through both, did that with Telstra and Optus cable modems back in the day, but Starlink is so fast I haven't needed to bother.

Michael Brennan (@Michael44814776) reported@BamBam0667 @EnergyWrapAU No, nbn has cost far more due to LNP. LNP original costing: Promised $29.5B (2013 election); revised to $41B in Strategic Review. The evidence is that in the caucus , as detailed in Turnbull’s book, Abbott simply wanted LNP to be contrarian about nbn. They stopped the fibre rollout and replaced it with copper. At the time, LNPs message that nbn would go over budget was favoured due to a complicit media. For instance, when the ABC science editor did a comprehensive comparison between labour’s FTTP and LNP copper, the report was spiked until after the election, due to ABC management wanting to appease LNP. Then, under LNP, ABC did not have a science editor. Consider the subsequent dearth of reporting by ABC in following years about the biggest infrastructure project ever. Consider that Turnbull appointed a former business associate to be chair of ABC whilst a Director of NBN snd whilst a ceo of a supplier to NBN with a $100m contract for design and fabrication of copper based distribution boxes, which have subsequently been removed. So there is no surprise that the public were force fed the line that all that glitters is copper. The reality set in when the deterioration of the copper network became apparent to punters. The cost of NBN is now at approx $50B with $54B to 2030 to due to the replacement costs of LNPs copper systems with fibre. So Abbott and Turnbull cost the country many billions not to mention the years of misery and lost productivity by prolonging the copper network.

Wesley Van Der Wit (@aussi3dutchman) reported@TheJawnzz @robb_j_m You were on a **** deal you can get 100mb/s NBN for $500/year. Shop around, look for deals.

My handle was funnier when it was less believable. (@AIproject6) reported@wilburston @robb_j_m I highly doubt any satellite service is better than NBN unless you're literally not in the coverage area.
-
anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported@LooksDodgy @robb_j_m was on nbn fixed wireless, got tired of the outages and billing issues with my ISP, shifted to starlink. faster, far less outages and almost identical price. as a bonus starlink bills once per month, former isp billed every 28 days. that's nearly $100 a year less.

Jay (@TheGreenGoat79) reported@bobslidelx @JacintaAllanMP I've got 2 more weeks on current project than have about 20k of drilling left in sydney (installing goverment fibre optic network, like nbn but not ****) Then hopefully at the end of this year start of next we are either doing ali ce springs to darwin or toowoomba to chinchilla

Max (@diss_presso) reported@BrowntownBrew @robb_j_m In some cases. They would pay Telstra to use the pits, or Telstra itself would install fibre. This is an issue all over the world. We’re simply trading one monopoly (Telstra) for another (NBN). But there’s nothing to stop another company in theory from running their own fibre in dense areas - but not now of course, as they wouldn’t be allowed to undercut the NBN (hence the stupid NBN has actually made it so internet cannot be cheaper than how much they say it should be - law of unintended consequences - now the law is literally making cheap internet illegal).
