@jimsalter @fifonetworks What a shit show. The #NBN here in Australia isn't perfect but at least we don't have to put up with this shit, just change provider, 30 min later, bam, you are good to go.

@jhaue Remember when that was the ticket price to roll out full fiber across the country and the government borked at it? But now, not so much (cause punters). #NBN

@decryption #Frugal Australian servers are hosted in the host universal network (AS136557) which peers with quality ISPs. If you are with #ABB on the east coast, you'll typically connect sub 10ms via a #NBN connection. Oh #IPv6 connectivity too so you aren't #CGNAT constrained.

#exetel sent me two false notifications that I had an outage on #NBN in #caboolture - their bot can do nothing, call centre is closed 8pm and open 8am Brisbane - Caboolture is not listed on https://www.exetel.com.au/network-outage #storms #supercell #internet #outage #brisbane #moretonbay

Many #NBN FttP installations route through a philosophical logic connection device.

Note the document is apparently over a decade old, and in its 5th issue.

atm judging the slowly fading light to pick the least-worst time to actually go out my front door 😱, then around the side, to inspect the work done t'other day by the tech, before it's too dark to see. still too much light atm, ugh.

this morn, nbnco texted me with survey. given they refuse to let public talk to them, i ain't doing it; they can go & get fucked.

#nbn #fttp #upgrade

still at that early stage of running random #Ooklas just to double-check that yesterday was not merely some damn AI hallucination.

am especially looking fwd to my next big #ArchLinux weekly update, when i expect that all the pkgs will have downloaded & installed before i've finished typing the command 🤪

#nbn #fttp #upgrade

Based on an extensive survey & full statistical analysis, an exciting new research field has found that the day after getting one's #NBN #FttN upgraded to #FttP, it feels overwhelmingly like a Saturday. 😲

@Old_IT_geek @cheryanne @MsDropbear42@blahaj.zone @captainb Well, seems this grumpy little fangball now has one less thing about which to moan. Though ofc madmonk & trumble remain arseholes til their last breaths for what they did to the NBN [& so much else too, obvs], & though it's been too stupid-many years to reach this point, finally there is reason to allow oneself a little grin...

For reference, my years-old now-superseded #fraudband #FttN achieved a best of ~39 / 7 Mbps.

I sincerely wish & hope that all remaining victims of those ghastly Liebs & Nuts can similarly gain this QoL lift, absobloodylutely ASAP! 🤞 🤞 🤞

#NBN #FttP

@cheryanne @MsDropbear42@blahaj.zone @captainb ta C, ta H. now the waiting game is on again. 08:30 & nothing yet, but one improvement over last time is that this time i had brekkie & coffee, so that's something anyway. have more or less decided that if they also stuff me around today i will just abandon my hopes for the upgrade, & remain on the shitty 38 Mbps #FttN rubbish i'm on. I really hope it does not come to that, but have quite hardened my initial equivocation about boots & mask. sigh.

My #NBN full fibre upgrade has finally been completed. It's been a saga, and must have cost the NBN a fortune with all the staff and equipment involved.

I'm currently on a 500/50 fibre plan for the same price as my old 100/20 plan.

Speedtest begs to differ. 😁

For once, I'm not complaining 😂

The speedtest app shows a download speed of 521Mbps and 95.2Mbps

I've regularly mocked the #NBN about the free #FTTP upgrade I'm getting. Justifiably. It's been a saga. 🤷

However, the team labouring away today, the ones making all those strange noises, *are still working*. At 6:45pm. Official sunset is 7:09pm, but we lose it ~15 mins earlier. They start around 7:30am.

I'm surprised & impressed, & hope they're well paid for such long days. I *really* hope they're not being exploited.

#CreditWhereItsDue

It's been some months now, yet still I hide with doors locked & curtains drawn. As I write, there are noises, strange mechanical noises. Through a gap I spy men in orange & yellow uniforms coming in & out of view. They're digging in, fortifying. I fear my time is near, the end approaches.

I leave these records in hope that others will never experience the horror, the travails, indeed, the terrible costs, of their free NBN fibre to the premises upgrade.
