Not everyone who is on NBN can get a 100Mbit plan. Many people who are not on fibre struggle with unreliable service. And if you're like me where the only 'NBN' available to you is SkyMuster, and 4G speeds and reliability have been deteriorating over the past few years, and there's no 5G in sight...

(Full disclosure: I've been on Starlink for almost two years now. Where I live, it is the only way to get usable internet service. If there ever is an adequate alternative option for me, I'll swap in a heartbeat.)
