You don't get it. Slow and high ping is part of the tech, but not the problem, and not only why people are leaving: it's the price. Australia owns the satellite and all the infrastructure. The NBN satellite should be cheaper than musklink. It isn't, because of the Liberal party.
Musklink isn't taking vdsl or fibre customers. 5G is.
You can get 600mbps for $85 a month with Telstra. That is what kills fibre and why metro is leaving the NBN.
Apples and oranges.
