  Still sans @NBN_Australia They came out Monday, identified the issue & refused to fix it. Told them that I was over them & that I'll be signing up with @Starlink Looking forward to receiving my kit from Starlink soon. Hotspotting with my @Telstra mobile is 1/2 speed of a snail. Painful much. Going crazy. Don't need this stress.

  @LeeroyLives @AngusTaylorMP So looking at that graph, the trajectory of expanding debt started under rudd and gillard and never went down Sounds about right. Looks to start that trajectory after the nbn started construction and ndis came about.

  @DHughesy No. Only an idiot would agree - because they'd be wrong. 1. It's not worth "over $300 billion". The $64 billion dollar investment is worth $269 billion 2. If you're using the "over 300 billion" figure ($337.2 billion) that figure means your "no future Fed Govt put one cent into it" bit is incorrect because this figure includes MULTIPLE additional multi-billion dollar funds added to the Future Fund's management portfolio. 3. The future fund wasn't built on some kind of free money windfall... The $64 billion invested came primarily from the Telstra sale. The Telstra sale meant the copper network was privatised, leading to Telstra putting shareholders first in refusing to bid on optic fibre rollouts. This meant the government has so far spent around $64 billion ($70bn by the end of the decade) to re-create Telstra's infrastructure under NBN Co. Meanwhile Telstra has paid $65-80bn in dividends since privatisation moved those dividends from public to private hands. So for every $1 we gained from the Telstra sale, we missed another $1 in dividends and spent another $1 in replacing the infrastructure we sold. Had a publicly-owned Telstra built the NBN out of dividends, and the government raised $64bn in debt to invest in a Future Fund, the books would look exactly the same as they do today. You've been dazzled by accounting tricks - following a magician's misdirection, and calling it "magic". 4. "negating the trillion plus debts... to some degree" is bullshit... It was created to cover DECADES worth of unpaid public service and military retirement benefits. Those debts amount to $322 billion, to be paid out of (currently) $269 billion in funds - leaving a $53 billion dollar black hole. Had the money been paid to super in a timely fashion (rather than the Future Fund being set up to cover unpaid pension debts), that $322 billion in benefits would be sitting in private super accounts right now. Again, you're dazzled by an accountant's magic tricks. Not free money - not "negating debts" - just a big government-owned super fund. "Can we all agree it was amazing when the magician sawed that woman in half! He should be a surgeon!"

  @MrKRudd Imagine listening to the idiot who gave us the NBN. Cost billions. Did nothing. And now Starlink supersedes it with faster speeds, total coverage and zero cost to the taxpayer. Kev, you’re a numbskull.

  @TopherField One of our clients had an existing telstra router just wanted an NBN connection. 2 weeks. $110 per month. I got her to contact starlink. 5 days later delivered and installed. $75 per month. Get your act together telstra. Can't be so slow anymore. There are choices.

  @Bryan_APDS There he is, popping up again in his blue suit! Mr Copper Wire NBN $65billion. “No Bloody Network” he stopped a HFC roll out to install Prof. Alex Graham Bell’s copper wire from 1876. Famous words to Mr Watson, the first phone call. Australia let it happen!

  @JohnnyLydon I just moved to a new NBN provider. While researching, Canstar, Whistleout and others just gave me the same handful of companies to choose from. After asking AI (both Grok and ChatGPT) I ended up with a huge list of potentials with some real good deals. Comparison sites are ****.

  @JakeTurx It sounds like you have the same issues to negotiate. American Yeshivish is not Israeli Charedi. Prices are high. And so on. Demanding that others change for you will go nowhere. If you're ready for the move, call NBN and get the ball rolling. 6/6

  If governments are serious about letting people work from home, they really need to ensure that the NBN is up to standard. Currently experiencing our 2nd major outage in 2 weeks. Not good enough @NBN_Australia #nswpol #auspol

  @TopherField The NBN started in Broken Hill my refrigeration systems on the towers where the only ones running when it hit 45c. They rang me up and said how come mine where the only one still working. Because I used Temperzone Australian Airconditioners with adjustable head preasure I increased. I didnt tell them all they had to do with the other was remove the thermistors off the head preasure on the American systems.

  @theheraldsun Musk saved rural Australia from such a slow and unreliable service! NBN fails all Australians. We should thank the uniparty for a company that will never deliver any financial return to taxpayers and has left us paying for very expensive internet by other OECD standards.

  @moffat14 @TopherField You do know it was the Libs that ****** it up. Labour started the process and as soon as the Libs got in, they put the handbrakes on it and started all this NBN node ****. Fine to blame governments but at least blame the right one
