NBN CEO admits customer complaints are still too high, but promises to fix it in under a year

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-15/nbn-customer-complaints-still-too-high:-ceo/8809148

well of course complaints are high, we got promised a faster, cheaper and better NBN than labor were going to deliver.

we are getting a slower, more expensive second rate NBN.

any NBN that has copper wire in it will never deliver the speeds the future internet users will require. its not even able to deliver whats needed now.

in my case, i got fibre to the node, so my internet comes at super high speed to my local node box (about 1.3km from my house) then it gets switched to my old telephone copper cable where it slows down to walking speed to my house. not what was promised.

can it be fixed, i dont know but i doubt it as it would cost lots and lots of money.

Sigh.  It started raining and half an hour later the power went out for a few seconds.

Bloody NBN.  Sure enough, the landline phone isn't working again.  I am so looking forward to trying to get to all the cables/connections to get it working again.

Someone remind me how changing from the old phone line to a system where an unbroken electrical connection is critical, not to mention considered technological progress.

Stupid government (no matter who is in power).

NBN has a message for Australia: 'If you want high-speed internet, you are going to have to pay more'

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-18/high-speed-internet-means-you-have-to-pay-more/8821688

we were promised high speed internet by our prime minister, the same one who says hes promised a pebicite on same sex marriage and he doesnt break promises!
