dingleberry

Dingleberry in Australian locality, refers to a national wholesale open-access data network project with both wired, and radio communication components rolled out and operated by NBN Co Limited. As the largest infrastructure project in Australia's history, it has been the subject of significant political contention, technological musical chairs and extensive delay deployment of the originally intended goal (to provide working and usable internet) for many years to come. This has resulted in the metaphorically definition of NBN as a small lump of poop, that's hangs with no sight of its intended destination.

Internet access has been disconnected all together after an ultimatum was sent via a postal letter from a company called NBN that states I must connect to it immediately. Despite hesitation, I agreed to connect to the new network lines but was then told I was not able to do so as work had not even commenced. Then I was told the old access couldn't be reconnected due to poorly explained bureaucratic reasons and I was left for months with no re-connection date. After some more months passed, you finally connected me to your new upgraded line although I have noticed that I am now being charged for speed based data that isn't capable of doing even half of the speeds claimed and is actually worse and less consistent the previous line that worked fine. ISP's have changed their Australian product range to offer consumers a dingleberry.
