[LINK] NBN in the Kimberley (or not)

[David Boxall]

Hi all,

For those who don't know, the NBN Interim Satellite Service (ISS) is to 
be discontinued on 28 February. The satellite is nearing end-of-life and 
that's when the contract ends. ISS customers are (were) to be given 
priority for transfer to the Sky Muster Long-Term Satellite Service (LTSS).

A Kimberley-region user reports that their LTSS installation has been 
postponed four times since November. It's now scheduled for the end of 
March. A month without Internet (assuming the installation actually 
happens then) is not good for business (or anything else) in this day 
and age. Another user in the same area reports:
> As far as I know no one in the Kimberley in a remote area has received 
> Skymuster. We are given an install date several months in advance only 
> for it to be cancelled a day before; so in essence we are being lied 
> to as the logistics to install Skymuster are simple not in place. In 
> other words, the technicians and dishes to be installed aren't even 
> here yet. NBN verbally admitted as much in December last year. 
> Multiple customers who all want the new service in the same boat.
