    @5BNylonTip Kind of like the Coalition govt pumping FTTN tech for the NBN where we'd need Air Conditioned cabinets in the street to cool the active network gear, instead of just installing passive(ish) Fibre Optics. AU is not super intelligent when it comes to tech, from a govt perspective.

    @ianclarkeAU @CovfefeDnUnder Mate, you're talking to a @Starlink customer... I use it on the Gold Coast, and I'll likely never go back to the NBN, even though I can get fiber, largely because I refuse to pay for something that is intentionally outdated. Outside of the cities, #Starlink is the answer.

    @FannyFitch Maybe they need to go back to the fail-safe future, using Labors' Full Fibre NBN, that Vested Interests installed the LNP Crime Org Puppet Junta to nobble with stone age Copper. It operated well, for over 65 years, even on iron age Copper, before being sent into the cloud.

    @BeauGiles Typically, no. For the cost of a backup device/SIM/NBN or even Starlink, it would pay for itself in an hour of an outage like this!

    @ianclarkeAU NBN is not a cellular network - I think your statement is illogical.

    Speed is latency. No satellite connection is "high speed" sick of the disinformation. Starlink is 20ms-40ms+ latency like mobile garbage is. NBN is a whopping 600ms latency. They need to keep this junk away from fibre areas where I get 2ms latency and have had since 2022.

    @KymRob25112 compared to NBN setup, book installer, wait two weeks, installer fails to show, rebook, wait another two weeks, installer shows up, signal has to be bounced of barn roof, then wait another 4 weeks for NBN co to process it. so two months for nbn vs two hours for starlink.

    @timritchie It was failed PM John Howard that sold off Telstra to the tax payers that already owned it. A disgraceful act when we also needed to upgrade to the optic fibre network at the same time. The LNP / Foxtel version of the NBN was another disgraceful failure ....

    @FarCueCunce Contractor for NBN Co. My olds were hooked up 10yrs ago and while they used the existing Telstra conduit to the house, the inside install was terrible - left a big hole in the wall behind the NTU, which let spiders into the house until I found it years later and patched it up.

    @AlboMP @DeltaGoodrem @JacintaAllanMP This is a great policy for people who have been sacked, or really from another state, with how it used to be, and have to somehow pay out the whole contract? And it's not really like that for NBN or mobile internet plans and it shouldn't be like that for private rentals either, and I've maybe g9t a red flag for renting? because this has happened to me, even though I pa8d up until I left and had a dog in the shared backyard, after I had started to rent with the real estate agent, and it should then void the contract of the rental, anyway, if I was upset with the dog being in the shared backyard. And they really wanted the full contract of the rental paid out? and even with all what I've said, it be's like to be a red flag maybe for me, for possible future rentals? and I think it has a big negative, for a more secure, two year or more rental contract, which should be better, not worse, how the old rental laws, now, were. So, this is again, great Victorian Labour policies! and ones that will make do much of a difference to people, who would of been in so much of a problem, and not really realise it, with rental contracts, and it's all like kinda NBN internet plans, which is really how it should be, especially with how house prices have inflated that much anyway.

    @lowlandsapien Never forget the NBN rollout either.

    @Juzira You really should get Full fibre NBN History does not support that view, except in Hansons micro fringe cult & within Murdochs LNP Crime Org.

    @twensor @FetchStep sadly its totally on form for telstra. remember when a small fire in their chatswood building took out the national SMS network. where i live telstra, nbn, optus and vodafone are all on a 4 hour battery backup, while essential energy schedules regular 8 hour outages.

    @VoteLewko @2GB873 Starlink is great if you're mobile, but you never want to use it to replace the nbn residential connections. The speeds and latency you get from a fttn/fttp connection are leagues better.

    You're partly right - we don't have a free market. The market here is heavily distorted with gov intervention. Inflation is cause by increased money supply. That inflation affects everyone - including grocery stores, NBN providors, health funds. They must pass those costs down. Fuel is also subject to inflation in addition to the fuel crisis. This impacts input costs for many businesses, not all, to varying degrees. The only thing that causes market wide inflation is Gov.
