    Well if you don’t actually mention what part you are comparing people are going to assume its the part the majority use, ie VDSL and fibre.

    Everyone has always known normal satellite internet sucks dick, it’s slow and high ping.

    But musk is too stupid to market his starlink as a replacement for that, instead trying to win over VDSL and fibre users.

      You don’t get it. Slow and high ping is part of the tech, but not the problem, and not only why people are leaving: it’s the price. Australia owns the satellite and all the infrastructure. The NBN satellite should be cheaper than musklink. It isn’t, because of the Liberal party.

      Musklink isn’t taking vdsl or fibre customers. 5G is.

      You can get 600mbps for $85 a month with Telstra. That is what kills fibre and why metro is leaving the NBN.

      Apples and oranges.
