    The NBN can never live up to its potential while it’s required to turn a profit.

    Thanks to the Liberals who decided to halt the FTTP roll out, I have spent a literal decade paying for mobile internet, then Starlink, then FTTN internet, before finally getting a FTTP connection just recently.

    It’s already overpriced and underperforming by virtue of being a decade behind the curve, I can only imagine how hard it would suck if it was privatised and profit became the driving force.

    Its a public utility, spend the bucks to get it back where it should have been and run it as a service not a business ffs. I dont mind being taxed out the arsehole if I actually get something for my money!
