  @AvidCommentator I have abandoned NBN. Service is atrocious as it is mediated through the Telcos. You can’t get to an NBN tech directly. They cancelled five appointments made for me via Telstra saying not an NBN problem. But it was just like the other three times. Now have Telstra 5 G. So simple

  And I am on Telstra but they're price gouging and they Suck and I did attempt after their last price hike to leave but it's like. Oh if you are in a regional area literally noone else can help you. I see. Think there's a word for that that rhymes with schmonopoly

  @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS RCS support for iPhone Messages in Australia isn't live yet. Apple added it back in iOS 18, but it requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone. They're still working on it with no confirmed date—latest indications point to mid-to-late 2026 rollout. Contact your carrier for the latest.

  @robb_j_m LNP stopped the original rollout of a national fiber network to buy back the copper network from telstra they sold to telstra in the 90s in an utterly deranged move that blew out costs and rollout time..

  @tomdflynn I am. We just changed from Telstra wireless which cost us $110 a month with crappy service to Starlink. We are happy with the speed, just a little annoyed as they put the price up from $69 to $75 in the first month. Still cheaper and faster.

  It's worth remembering that the Howard Government paid down debt with asset sales rather than genuine fiscal conservatism, and this time around, there isn't a Telstra or Qantas to sell. That said, the spending binge from late 2007 onwards makes Howard look like Milei.

  @markbouris John Howard a failed PM that lost his own seat. Sold off Telstra to the people that already owned it at a time when we needed to upgrade to optic fibre network. Tried to introduce Workchoices to destroy wage increases. Sold off gas on 30 year contract . Neg gearing and CGT ..

  @Mac80277103 @JP__75 Howard shifted policies. He said GST would never be part of his Gov’s policies at the ‘98 election, then introduced it in ‘00. He said no Work choices then introduced it. No Telstra same then sold it. This is different to a gov seeing housing get harder so they made a change.

  @SkyNewsAust Every business contributes tax revenue to the government, and extending the licence ‘could’ help raise additional funds. Will this create more jobs, or lead to layoffs like we’ve seen at Telstra and the big four banks, taking into consideration in the current climate?
