Compared to the mess of poorly performing ADSL and legacy 4G connections we had before, the NBN is superior – even the copper based links usually perform better than what they replaced, and with the overbuild to put fibre in more premises, it’s improving daily.

So, for most people, in most places, it’s been successful. Shrug.

The NFN has been, “Deemed a success”? By who, and on what grounds?

In reply to Mathew. I haven’t used either satellite service, but satellite has historically always been slow. Starlink’s lower latency and high speed service sounds superior… even if it does come from evil Elmo’s company.

The bigger problem is latency which SkyMuster cannot solve due to the distance to GEO orbit. SpaceX Starlink 60ms latency is significantly better than minimum 600ms from SkyMuster.
The ability for Starlink connections to be setup easily and even work while in transit is another advantage.
