>The head of the National Broadband Network has sensationally claimed Australians do not want super-fast broadband and would not use it “even if we offered it for free”.
N>BN Co chief executive Bill Morrow made the comments at the company’s half-yearly results on Thursday, revealing the network now boasted 1.6 million subscribers although none were able to access its top download speeds.
>Mr Morrow’s remarks came despite an almost 100 per cent spike in Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman complaints about the NBN last financial year, many of them about slow download speeds delivered over the $49 billion network.
>Internet Australia chief executive Laurie Patton said the lack of high-speed broadband connections had seen Australia dragged further behind the rest of the world in technology, and labelled Mr Morrow’s remarks “the greatest spin since people invented washing machines
Aaron Williams
>Australians do not want super-fast broadband and would not use it “even if we offered it for free”. I laughed because this is just absurd but then I also empathize with you guys. Over here getting fucking dogshit bandwidth speeds and I live in the USA

Tbqh my ADSL works fine for my level of shitposting
Adrian Young
sure it does
Leo Campbell
>The head of the National Broadband Network has sensationally claimed Australians do not want super-fast broadband and would not use it “even if we offered it for free”. Absolute horseshit. These retarded cunts are just bleeding the already over-budget project dry with their fat salary packages all while delivering a stupid fucking inferior service.
>“the greatest spin since people invented washing machines" Top bants though
Logan Powell
eh, could be worse.
Nolan Martinez
I honestly think a far right party could get in based on a solid well planned broadband platform.
Libs would fall apart trying to get people to vote for vague social altruism when the opposition plugs self interest
Brody Stewart
get on my level faggots
Xavier Sanchez
that guy is a fucking idiot, why did they even employ an ex"vodaphone CEO" he's only in it for the $3.6 million pay package
Our Australian government is comprised of the worst idiots in the country who are the worst negotiators
Jackson Turner
Blame the Liberals for gang raping it, or blame the leftist faggots, their identity politics, their Muslim and China rimming for putting them there in the first place.
I mean ffs the left is so bad we voted in Abbott.
Charles Lopez
>australia is literally 4x faster than my shit net
Fuck the emus and kiwis, when are american cornfields getting something better than slow as shit satalite?
Austin Peterson
I thought slow Internet speeds were just memes there
Kevin Allen
>his corncob modem cant pull 8mb down with good game ping also like mine can
Lol
Luis Richardson
Your upload speed is LITERALLY my download speed
fuckin shitcunt RRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Robert Baker
I hope that every single retarded piece of shit who voted for the LNP gets pancreatic cancer
Camden Campbell
Jesus fucking Christ America and abbo nationals my internet isn't even the best in my area and I'm over 5x as fast....
I have regular internet....
We are in a monopoly for internet and communication.....
Still light years ahead of Australia
Andrew Gray
Dude, we can't even run air conditioners in a Heat Wave (an Australian Heat Wave) because then our cities will have rolling blackouts.
When we get the basic "Energy" thing figured out, we'll worry about getting faster servers for our FPS's flooded with Chinks and Russians.
Eli Fisher

Evan Howard
Hey no Abo billionaires allowed to post
Brayden Gomez
Cunt.
I'm on cable. Get about 23mb down and 1 up.
Does the job. Would suck if I had to upload much.
Levi Bell
Telstra can unthrottle your cable if you throw more $ at them
Mason Taylor
I wasn't able to get 100/40 because apparently they could guarantee that speed so I got 50/20 instead
Easton Lewis
Oh really thanks.
Luis Bennett
Tbqh not bad considering the time of day.
Brandon Ramirez
Went from ADSL1 yesterday to NBN fiber to the node today, and this is the fastest I can get even with the very fastest plan.
Fuck Telstra and fuck Murdoch for lobbying against the original NBN.
Why can't we have infrastructure projects that aren't shit?
Hudson Wright
...
Joshua Turner
He is talking about 1 Gigabit per second speeds which is the absolute max NBN technology can do..
He is not saying Australians don't want better internet than they currently have. Just that the absolute maximum speeds are not practical for most households.
I EXPECT BETTER THAN THIS TABLOID MISLEADING CRAP FROM AUS/POL/
Lift yer game mates.
Christian Jackson
What are you suppose to be getting user??? did your plan change?
Logan Wilson
It was wrong to sell Telstra off. They should've split Telstra into retail & wholesale and sold off retail segment only. Then mandate the wholsale telstra to deploy FTTP. Instead we now get NBNCo, which is almost what telstra used to be, with a whole lot of duplication and waste of money in the process.
It wouldn't have been rolled out as fast, but you'd have a lot better coverage by 2017.
Christopher Hill
Fuck off Malcom
Hunter Nguyen
When I got NBN, I moved to Optus because I could get an unlimited plan for $60/mo at the time. I pay $20 for speed boost up to 50/20. The best Telstra could offer me was 25/5 with 1000gb for $150/mo
Christian Morgan
...
Landon Torres
>unlimited plan There is no such thing. They always have a "fair use" clause and will get up your arse if you use too much.
Benjamin King

Benjamin Nguyen
Ur pictures bit big mate can you make it smaller so i can see
Angel Foster
wish those idiots would just deregulate the net infrastructure so competent companies can install fibre
getting sick of telstra and NBN
Joshua Turner
I got a notice once when I used 1215GB month, but my neighbour was doing shit on it as well.
Optus recently upgraded all their shit too so they have much more bandwidth than Telstra does
Isaac Ward
Nah cunt fiber to the node, copper to the house. We're gonna build a whole new infrastructure project on the back of old oxidised copper from the 50s!
Adrian Perry
Ausfalia HAHAHAHAHA
This is why they shitpost all the time. Must be fucking frustrating living at that speed.
Levi Murphy
I'm paying $67.80 for this
Cameron Anderson
I pay the same for 20 down and 4 up
Wyatt Taylor
I can't really complain about my download speeds i can download stuff in a reasonable amount of time and i know plenty of people have it worse but fuck i wish i had better upload speeds its a nightmare uploading anything.
Jack Evans
>let's give the monopoly on NBN to the same company that caused Australia to have the worst internet in the developed world >what's that mr Turnbull? We should sell it to Telstra? Done. T.stockholder on Telstra
Fucking REEEEEEEEEEEEEE They need to keep companies out through laws and regulations because the Internet business is so profitable there would be an stampede of companies wanting to invest to build the infrastructure necessary, yet somehow they manage to convince people it should be done with tax money and Telstra JUST
Tyler Sanchez
Obligatory kek
Cameron Evans
I was getting 800 KB/s down on ADSL1.
When I signed up for the NBN I went with the fastest plan available to me, which was 100/40 Mbps.
I got my current speed WITH that plan, so the slow speed is purely because of the copper infastructure. Now I'm on a 25/5 Mbps plan.
Gavin Clark
who
/liverightnextonode/ here?
feels fucking good cunts
Aiden James
I pay $50.37 for 100mbs download. Only good thing about living in California.
Kayden Wright
Not so fast burger, do you know how much he is paying for that shit? Well over a 100 dollaridoos, and that's with download/upload limits, if it's unlimited internet he is definetely paying at least 150, and you need to sign a contract for at least 2 years.
Ryder Phillips
I would be changing it down to 25/5. no point paying more if you can't get that speed
Colton Perez
literally 2007 all over again
im sitting here with the same fucking 25mbit connection a decade later
fuck this gay hole
Jackson Hughes
why is the upload so slow?
Logan Torres
thats all i get over 25/5 fixed wireless
be happy cunt
Mason Robinson
No clue, but I'm not even mad it's not like I'm a YouTuber or anything.
Thomas Bennett
Muh solar Muh wind
Cunts worry about providing energy to begin with fucking hell I hate labour and the greens literally fucking aids, killing our country slowly.
We could have cheap reliable nuclear, we have plenty of space to put the waste in fact we get paid by other countries to bury their waste.
Luke Howard
False. I've done an average of 1.5tb/ month on my pc and 300-500gb/ month on my xbox. Still on the 100/40 speeds, haven't been throttled once.
Ethan Wilson
8kb??? Are you fucking serious m8 that's most of my data cap...
Brody Cook
Anyone know why mobile networks are a bit shit, no matter which company it is?
Levi Wilson
Post your speed m8
Cooper Gomez
Not even the Liberals are touching nuclear unfortunately.
Xavier Gonzalez
you live in the middle of nowhere?
Alexander Butler
$80 cad for a 10th of that here. I live right in the middle of a big fucking city too.
Josiah Butler
There is literally an Optus tower about 700m away from my house on top of a hill.
Robert Flores
After all the brainwashing it would be politiical suicide for any party, we could have the cheapest, cleanest most reliable energy in the world, but no, let's stick to fucking solar, the most unreliable and expensive source of energy of them all, genius.
Nolan Smith
I used australian server in speedtest, just to see how well it goes
Thomas Diaz
straya cunt
Grayson Hall
Meanwhile in BC Internet was declared an essential telecommunications service a declaration not made since the telephone Canada as a whole followed suit next month after they realized we were right ISPs have to start making efforts to offer at least 50mbps even in the absolute middle of nowhere and get help doing so
But hey at least you have kangaroos to fuck or something
Daniel Robinson
whats up peasants? only 10eur for this. have no work though.
Jacob Martin
do Aussies shitpost because their internet is too bad for online gaming?
Samuel Fisher
What city?
Aaron Allen
How many rivers do you guys have?
Andrew Sanders
Which one?
Jayden Hill
If you guys have rivers quit moaning and set up some hydroelectric
Julian Murphy
Wind is even more pathetic than solar yet the retards in SA insist on it because they won't dare mention they were wrong. Because God forbid anyone says that anymore. I swear reality just keeps getting more and more insane.
Isaiah Bell
>tfw 1.02 download and 0.68 upload
Dylan Parker
I'm paying 34,5 AUD a month or this.
Over here it's a bit of a mess. Some years ago a big Capital fund in Delaware purchased our national ISP for tax evasion purposes. And then they used that large ISP to buy up smaller ISPs which I was customer at.
And then they raised the price of existing customers by 5,5%. And at the same time raised the minimum price for future customers by even more.
We're fucked by the Capital Fund jews.
Oliver Gomez
They are doing a NBN rollout in my area. I miss out by one fucking meter. I shit you not. I have to wait till like July for it now. I live in a all white city, but shit I still want muh internets.
Blake Campbell
Even with our 2Mb down and 0.5Mb up we still reign supreme. There's a reason (((they))) hold our internet infrastructure back.
Noah Jackson
1337 speeds bro
Nathan Sullivan
>I live in a all white city
Ryder Mitchell
>tfw pay £53 a month for this
fucking line rental when you don't both with a house phone is some shit.
Cooper Stewart
My area gets NBN at the earliest in 2020.
Bentley Phillips
Oh LNP shill you're too easy to spot
Levi Hernandez
Just be careful your prime minister or finance minister won't stab you in your back and selling the national ISP to some big bank.
It's a very popular occurrence in Europe, and they coincidentally are rewarded with super lucrative jobs at Goldman Sachs and other banks and think tanks after they sold out their country.
Elijah Lee
Everyone was doing it I just wanted to be popular.
I saw three garbage wearing women all last year and it was during Christmas time, I'd tell you where but there are too many shitskins on here.

I feel sorry for you danebro. I pay 9,36 AUD for this, guaranteed 99% up time. Feels good living in youth housing
Carter Gray
You're obviously not talking about a capital city. Can you at least give me a hint.
Jaxson Brown
m8 have you ever slipped into a puoch? It's welcoming to say the least Like 2 in a good year. And I mean a REAL good year. Usually we get about 0.66 rivers per annum
Evan Butler
House mates is watching Netflix gf watching YouTube on our 4K tv... not too bad
Liam Harris
>claimed Australians do not want super-fast broadband and would not use it “even if we offered it for free”. The faggot needs to be lynched.
Jackson Foster
Holy fucking shit.
I pay 60 roo bucks for my net and I'm capped at 500gb download.
Yeah not a capital city. Lets say if Harambe was a giant fucking gorilla and I mean big, he'd find a treat where I live around.
Sebastian Smith
North Coast NSW?
Mate you're practically the outback there, 500gb sounds generous
Jaxson Anderson
Coffs?
Parker Harris
Correct. Yeah it used to be unlimited but I hardly download that much anyway because it's too slow.
Eli Collins
Lucky cunt
Elijah Stewart
Behold, my old internet. Had a 3gb cap, this was capped speed (uncapped was about 200kb/s dl). I live in a normal area.
Juan Gomez
how

yikes now I feel bad about complaining, sorry mate.
