NBN Issues Reports

Max (@diss_presso) reported@BrowntownBrew @robb_j_m But real world demand was lower as no zoom or Netflix. But anyway - it’s moot. The government could buy every Australian household a starlink dish (2.5x faster than NBN) for <$6B - and we’re still not finished, having spent 10x that. The doomed NBN had the absurdist aim of connecting every sleepy country town with top shelf fibre whilst legally enforcing slow internet in our metropolitan centres (the only places where fibre is even economically viable). This is exactly what the libs predicted at the time and were ridiculed for it. How about just connect the high population centres (you know, the ones who actually need the internet for their livelihoods) and let rural people move to the city if they want 1gbps, and then later spent a few billion buying the rest starlink if we really wanted to continue pissing money up the wall (or just letting them buy it themselves, with their own money, if they really wanted it). You aren’t angry enough.

Raymond McKeown (@RaymondKeown3) reported@Kate3015 We Also built TPG & Vodafone's networks, however, my point was really Albanese raced up to Singapore begging for oil, Optus is owned by the Singapore Govt. They will not be pleased. And for the record, we built the very first NBN site at Kiama, I met several times with Conroy, he is a fool. We walked away, I said let everyone else beg for this, we will pick up all their other business while they are ******* with NBN, Conroy had no idea of the concept of Fibre, nor did his management, they were all Guys I had worked with at Sun Microsystems, not one had ever built a network. Conroy went against advice & lost $800 million on a Satellite project, the Indonesians grabbed the flight space.

Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@diss_presso @robb_j_m The nbn was only announced in 2011/12. So if it went to crap in 2000, that's the market that let it go to crap.
-
Charlie (@charlietech) reported@gav_mck I ran into that with my uncle in Maleny. The crowding for Starlink meant no space. He has it now (waited in que like every1) but its why NBN are pushing their service to market asap with Amazon leo. At least you have options!!

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.

Stonkin Days (@n0otherwaythere) reported@Starlink I’m one **** around on price from going over to NBN fixed wireless which has been rolled out in my area since I got Starlink. The chapping and changing is bullshit
-
purana (@purana) reportedBeen trying for weeks now to get a NBN service (FTTN) connected for my mother. But TPG who she was with, and who she had service moved with just gave her the run around. They said it was provisioned, yet no DSL sync light and trying to get that resolved went in circles.

AusTubers 🇦🇺 (@AusTubers) reported(sorry, I couldn't resist taking a jab at @NBN_Australia) (please don't give us another 3 day outage mr nbn man, please)

Taya Nielsen: StuffTrump! ICE OUT! (@TayaNielsen2) reportedChifley established the PBS. Whitlam built Medibank. Keating started national superannuation. Hawke dumped tariffs to help Aussie farmers & their exports. Rudd built the NBN. Gillard built the NDIS. So, what exactly DID the LNP do in all those years??
-
Kathy Mewton (@tatduckum) reported@Cranky_Old_Guy @aaronsmith I guess the huge debt Libs left , this will help . Explain how would you pay off the $1.2 B debt Libs left On top of that your buddies left $350 B AUKUS NDIS out of control NBN blowout Robodebt debt Snowy blowout $31 B Inland rail blowout I will wait for your solution

Arron (@Arronkt) reported@robb_j_m I was that happy with the FTTN NBN I had I went with Starlink when it was available in my area in November 2021. I know I can now get FTTP , but I put up with an ordinary service for for a long time and can’t be bothered changing.

poruchan 💖🌸 | Artist Alley, Reservoir (@poruchan09) reportedRestarting everything for pc and modem. NBN unstable right now. I’ll be getting food as well. Wait a moment!
-
Max (@diss_presso) reported@BrowntownBrew @robb_j_m Most of our national capital Canberra is on <100mbps whilst literal 3rd world **** hole islands, without NBN or paved roads, get triple that. Anyone who actually believes in the NBN is as brainwashed as a Putin supporter. Starlink has made the NBN largely redundant for non gaming purposes, and the 5G network is already 3 times faster and both cost taxpayers exactly $0.00. Rudd should go down in history as the king of morons.
-
Ticcer 🇦🇺🇳🇿🇬🇧🇷🇺 (@Ticcer) reported@KatyKray73 Weirdly, Rudd's original NBN plan was way better... Fiber to the curb. Turncoat came in and said it was better to have a mix of technologies... as if incompatibility issues between different technologies never existed. It was idiotic! At the time, it was clear to me that he did that because he wanted to claim some of the expected glory of the network for himself, and to snub Labor.
