I’m with Amaysim, and I had to take the Melbourne train to Mordialloc. Both broke because Optus is a fucktard.

NBN is so geared for complaints, one of their fresh workers actually did a good job so I thought I might commend them, went on the NBN website... you can only complain. Literally no way to say good job. But good luck getting a good job done by them though...

I cleared a corner of trees (as my house is surrounded by bushland) to have direct line of sight to the nearby NBN tower for the best possible connection since hearing everyone on the NBN has had huge speed issues. Where do they install the antenna while I'm at work? the exact opposite corner of the damn house, facing directly at thick tree cover simply because that corner of the house is the lowest/easiest point of the roof for the installer to slap it on and say his job is done. If they didn't want their complaints line on fire 24/7 they could have actual trained technicians

To fix my nbn hfc connection I had to annoy the living shit out of them, so I had intermittent dropouts beyond their own definition of acceptable. Took them coming around 5 times before they knocked on the door, blamed the isp router (which they had sent 3 of) and my own routers (of which I had 2). By the 7th time that same guy was called out he replaced things in the pit that "were not a problem" and I have had no issues since. Moral of the story, be a huge pain in the ass and do not fall for customer service by attrition bullshit they will try to pull. They say they did not see x amount of dropouts today so they cannot send a tech out? Ask about friday because you had a program that kept logs. I am sure that this is not every experience but think of it like this, if I did not know what I was doing I like many people would be stuck with a dogshit connection.

I'm an Engineer that worked on the OG rollout as designed by Rudd and Labor and if we had of kept going we would have had world class speeds and service at probably about 25% of the end price. What the LNP did to the NBN is actually criminal and i think about it alot. I'm not a rudd or labor fanboy and i did vote for the LNP at the time but nothing could have prepared us who were on the original rollout for the torpedo and clear sabotage that was heading for us.

This might just be your highest quality production yet. The scathing but very accurate (mostly) parody of the NBN was the cherry on top! Great work as always guys. I never understood the planning and funding for the NBN company and roll-out being all public only for this government made monopoly on an essential service. To then be sold off as one monopoly and the roll-out being subcontractored by dozens of private companies. No wonder the whole thing is fucked. It's such mish mash from top to bottom.
