    Can I comment if it’s not available in my area?

    • -3

      Sure. Share your postcode as well for a bit of a reference.

      • +3

        Gold Coast here. Starlink isn't available due to over congestion. They aren't taking new sign ups but you can still buy the hardware from my local officeworks for some reason. 🤘

        • +1

          Yeah, Gold Coast and some southern areas of QLD are "Sold Out".

          You can still buy it and sign up, but might have to pay a one time $149 Congestion Fee.

          • @geekcohen: Oh really? I didn't realise you could get around it by paying a congestion fee. That's good for those with no alternative. Well… Other than sky muster which is basically the same as no alternative anyway. Hah

  • +79

    I see broad agreement in Foxtel deals that people refuse to use the service due to it being a Murdoch product.
    I don't see any difference in someone's moral compass directing them to avoid Starlink.

      • +35

        I hear you, but for the record.. I really do hate Elon Musk. I hope to see him destitute, that day will be a great day.

        • +1

          Hearing him speak makes Dutton sound like a saint.

        • +2

          First they came for the Chris Ellisons, and i did not speak because i was not Chris Ellison

        • The trouble of that is that where does that leave Starlink and spaceX?

          Because both of those alone of his initiatives will do far more good for humanity in the long run than a few millions tossed in the direction of a politically aligned NGO.

      • +14

        Idk you can't have it both ways, disallow bad comments about him/company but allow the ones praising just him/company.

      • +10

        Why not? Issue with retailer is valid for a neg according to the OzBargain rules.

        • +4

          issue or opinion

          • @askbargain: In my opinion, the issue is that the profits of the retailer go to funding the political and social meddling of the major stakeholder.

    • -1

      its because people love to be edgy and cringe with Elon, no one wants to be edgy and cringe for old man Murdoch. Just look at the comments already trying to be funny

      • +34

        I don't think hating Nazis is edgy and cringe.

        • +1

          Sorry you misunderstood what I was saying, I agree. What I meant was the people who love him and praise him are edgy and cringe, because he does things "you're not supposed to do or say" so they love him being edgy.

        • +1

          SPOT ON TIME!

          The Nazis recurrent theme has reached a lost thread.
          And that was rather quick this time …

      • +15

        Elon himself is as cringe AF, and nobody hating on a Nazi is cringe.

    • -8

      The same people whining about Murdoch are having hissyfits over Musk. Both are equally stupid reasons to downvote a deal. Don't buy it, whatever, but downvoting because your personal politics aren't aligned with the product is juvenile in the extreme.

      • +23

        Yep… having a conscience is juvenile in the extreme.
        There's a deal on the next page for some nazi brand imitation gold teeth…. will you be going for that, or will your "personal politics" have a problem there?

      The Murdoch thing is an even stupider circlejerk than the Musk thing

    • +3

      I think the difference here is Foxtel has very viable alternatives. Starlink is easily the best option for fast reliable internet in some areas. It is miles again of NBN satellite.

    • The problem with avoiding startling is, for The intended rural audience on sky muster satalite, there is no alternative or even remotely comparable option. It is easy to geg a BYD over a Tesla (imo the byd is just better anyway) but Starlink is it for leo satalite internet unfortunately.

    • -3

      Look at Viasat as an alternative.

    • +3

      There is the Starlink Mini at $599 (plus delivery) and there is a $80 Roaming Plan which gives you 50GB of data. The roaming can be paused as well. The Starlink Mini can also be powered off 12V. So perfect camping solution. I've got a Mini.

      The Mini has been on special for $300 in the past.

      • +4

        The mini can be powered off a power bank, it's pretty amazing

        • It is powered by 60V 1A and that not many power banks can power the mini properly. Some good brands like Anker might do. Most of my power banks are 30V max and I am not dare to try yet.

          • +6

            @PainToad: No, we won't. Plenty of parts of the country will never see FTTP. Plenty of rural areas never even got FTTN, only FW, and plenty of areas didn't even get FW. And in the places that did get FW there are plenty of dead spots. I know places where Telstra gave up any semblance of maintaining the old copper a decade ago, and if they won't do that, why would I believe they would ever string up and then maintain fibre for a handful of rural customers?
            Even when the tower is only 5km away the only option is patchy 4g, skymuster or electric car man bad net.

                @PainToad: Right, so people either live in a town, city, or suburb, or the middle of nowhere. No where in Australia could possibly qualify as anything else. No such thing as rural, semi rural, acreages, farming communities, etc.

    • +13

    • +3

      What part of the word reciprocal don’t you like?

      • +8

        Except, these are not reciprocal tariffs. They calculated these based on their trade deficit but incorrectly calling these reciprocal tariffs.

        In Australia's case, US has a $17 billion trade surplus, but still slapped us with 10% tariffs because our leaders are spineless (both major parties).

        • +1

          because our leaders are spineless (both major parties).

          Okay then, what should our leaders do? I await your solution to the problem.

          In case you hadn't noticed, the US has a way larger economy than ours, and are already in trillions of dollars of debt, and unafraid to go further into debt. Anything we do is like a mosquito attacking an elephant - unless you have a brilliant solution.

            @Russ:

            Okay then, what should our leaders do? I await your solution to the problem.

            They should start with ripping the AUKUS deal first. It's a bad bad deal for Australia and current US administration has made it clear that they would first replenish their fleet before providing any subs to Australia. Development is currently decades behind schedule and we might never get these subs. Australia should get French made Suffren-Class nuclear subs, which are cheaper and will be delivered faster.

            In case you hadn't noticed, the US has a way larger economy than ours, and are already in trillions of dollars of debt, and unafraid to go further into debt. Anything we do is like a mosquito attacking an elephant - unless you have a brilliant solution.

            Australian economy is $1.9 trillion (13th in the world), so I won't really call us mosquitos. Also, Australia has the leverage when we have $17 billion trade deficit with them. Choice is to either keep getting bullied or push back, and sometime you need to grow a f**king spine.

            • @dealhunter52:

              current US administration

              The US mid-terms are coming in less than two years, the "current administration" (Republicans) will be out of power if they lose three of their 220 seats. Last time DT was president, the midterms gave the Democrats 41 House of Representatives seats, you do the maths. And DT is even more unpopular this time than at the equivalent time during his previous term.

              we have $17 billion trade deficit with them

              The US has a 1.1 trillion (US) dollar deficit. That's 1.75 trillion AUD, just over 100 times larger than the Australian deficit with them. So from the US point of view, we really are a mosquito. And the US has a national debt of 36 trillion USD which they want to reduce, so on that scale we're not even 0.1%.

              keep getting bullied or push back

              Famous quote: "Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it." DT wants the fight, you'd be giving him what he wants. And he can cause us far more pain than we can cause him, so your recommended path is self-destructive.
