Matt Godden<p>Right, now the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NBN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NBN</span></a> modem has its own <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UPS</span></a> so even if the power goes out and the local <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FTTN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FTTN</span></a> node dies, at least my local network won't have issues. And as a bonus, TWO alarms during a power failure.</p>
Droppie [infosec] 🐨♀:archlinux: :kde: :firefox_nightly: :thunderbird:🦘:vegan:​<p>Recently "refreshed" an old spinning-rust tower pc of winXP/7 vintage, with a purge then installation of <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fedora</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDE</span></a> :fedora: :kde: :plasma: .

Jason Tubnor 🇦🇺If the so-called superior economic managers (also known as the Liberal National Party <a class="hashtag" href="https://soc.feditime.com/tag/lnp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LNP</a>) actually do build nuclear reactors all across the nation.

MsDB 🦘♀🌈:archlinux: :kde:<p>Email just received from my <a href="https://aus.social/tags/ISP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ISP</span></a>. Not happy. 😠 </p><p>&gt; From your next bill on or after 21 November 2023, your NBN 50Mbps/20Mbps 500GB ($75) plan will be increasing to $81.<br>Why is this happening? </p><p>&gt; In recent months, you may have heard about the review and variation to NBN’s Special Access Undertaking (SAU).</p><p>&gt; The SAU sets the industry standard for wholesale pricing, including their own structure for NBN plans until 2040. Affecting all internet providers, this will have a significant impact on operational costs, causing pricing across the industry to be reviewed. </p><p>&gt; Throughout the development of the SAU, we advocated for a proposal where we could better balance our customers’ usage, allowing us to provide a more affordable internet for all Australians. </p><p>&gt; Unfortunately, our option was not supported, having a few knock-on effects for our customers. Due to the changes in wholesale pricing, our lower-speed plans will become more expensive, while higher-speed plans will become more affordable. </p><p>&gt; Over the past three years, we have not been immune to the rising costs of business but have held off from passing it on to our customers. However, when combined with the SAU, we can no longer afford to do so and need to increase the price of your plan. </p><p>&gt; A positive from the new SAU is that NBN will continue to implement high-speed internet infrastructure and services, growing Australians’ access to fibre broadband and making higher speed plans more affordable and accessible. </p><p>&gt; The new pricing structure from NBN has meant that we were able to bring down the price of all 100/20 and above plans. All the new plan prices will take effect on 21 November 2023. </p><p>***</p><p>Huh, so i'm 'sposed to be mollified by news that high speed full-fibre plans will get cheaper. How's that working out for me, then, huh, with my 700 metres of rotted copper between my <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FttN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FttN</span></a> house &amp; the stinking <a href="https://aus.social/tags/NBN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NBN</span></a>'s nearest node? With stinking NBN still having no plans for my area to get upgraded to <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FttP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FttP</span></a>, &amp; even when/if that happens, in three more Halley's Comet circuits, i'd have to pay $squillions for the privilege? With my rotted copper giving me a best d/l rate of 37 Mbps on a good day. </p><p>Ask me again how pleased i was, &amp; am, that moronic [&amp; as we now know, majority-racist] Strayans voted in madmonk, on that dark stain of a day. 😡 🖕</p>
Andrew Litschner :verified:<p>My poor little FTTN connection got hammered this morning when someone with a decent number of followers boosted a couple of my posts with photos. I only have about 1.5mbps upstream bandwidth available, and this was getting used up for the better part of an hour by other instances polling mine for the photos. My ping was in the region of 2300ms. I did not foresee this as being a problem, and I probably should have.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.litschner.com/tags/NBN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NBN</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.litschner.com/tags/FTTN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FTTN</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.litschner.com/tags/SelfHosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosted</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.litschner.com/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a></p>
Vollans<p>Quality install, NBN. To fit new fibre Maddison box, unscrew old box from wall, expose the cavity to the wall, leave the old box unlocked, and the new one, and don’t even put the fibre guard in place *sigh*</p><p>Hope it survives 3 weeks to internal Install works. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.motorsport.org.uk/tags/nbn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nbn</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.motorsport.org.uk/tags/nbnco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nbnco</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.motorsport.org.uk/tags/NBNAus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NBNAus</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.motorsport.org.uk/tags/AussieBroadband" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AussieBroadband</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.motorsport.org.uk/tags/fttn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fttn</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.motorsport.org.uk/tags/fttp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fttp</span></a></p>
