  • pinotnoirjo silver-lining (@pinotnoirjo) reported

    @TPG_Telecom NBN internet has not been working since last night and still not working. What’s wrong?

  • rafstary Raf Stary (@rafstary) reported

    @AlboMP Yer right. And I want to run a mineral fossicking business out of the Simpson desert. Let down by speed of signal sticks. What about the millions who GET benefit from #nbn ? Implemented much faster after #alp were kicked out.

  • MicheleS_Aus MicheleS (@MicheleS_Aus) reported

    @NBN_Australia Thank you again, however my NBN trips into battery mode WITHOUT a power outage. The battery is also regularly replaced. As I said before, this happens to lots of people in my area on quite a regular basis! It is very annoying.

  • Cathy1691 🌻Cathy🌻 #IStandWithDan✊ (@Cathy1691) reported

    @NBN_Australia All good its back on they did text us to say there was an outage

  • ParamedicoW Marko P (@ParamedicoW) reported

    Can’t help but think that the NBN is similar to a large scale drug network. Can’t ever get to speak to the boss and always need to go through the dealer. Then again maybe I’m watching too much Narco’s when my internet decides to work that is.

  • rentajones JJ🕯 (@rentajones) reported

    @JoshFrydenberg @JEChalmers Your management of the country’s books has haemorrhaged taxpayers’ funds in waste and rorts via JobKeeper, the submarine debacle, the NBN **** up, car parks for seats, offshore detention to name but a few. Sit down and STFU. You have NOTHING to boast about.

  • nastygirllenny a fully vaccinated somebody somewhere (@nastygirllenny) reported

    @Melstar71 @AlboMP Omg yes! We had a week of lost service in the middle of lockdown and several random half days. I now own a mobile modem because in Australia in 2021, my nbn is too unreliable to work from home or study.

  • Xcaliborg Aussie Jordan 🐨 (@Xcaliborg) reported

    @Telstra I’ve just been informed my NBN hasn’t been working for a couple of days and it is using my backup 4G internet this whole time without knowing, have tried troubleshooting and doing everything I can on my end to fix the connection between the modem and the NBN box but nothing works

  • JulianLaPraik Julian La Praik (@JulianLaPraik) reported

    @ParamountPlusAU Having issues with blurry pictures when players/objects are in motion, on Apple TV with NBN 50Mbps, tried fresh reinstall. Others I know are having the same issue. Also multiple cameras are a must! 3 minimum, 5 needed for good coverage

  • badd2K mitch (@badd2K) reported

    @VodafoneAU FIX UR SPEEDS BABE IM STUCK AT 2MBPS ON THIS LOVELY NBN PAST THREE DAYS

  • FavSonAKALama Lamaroc ᜶ᜎᜋᜇᜓ᜶ (@FavSonAKALama) reported

    I think we just got our NBN connected by a local Twitch legend... the best customer service ever 🤩🥰

  • AsorensenAlex Alex S 🇨🇦🇦🇺 (@AsorensenAlex) reported

    @Telstra I wouldn’t know as it’s such an intermittent problem and has been going on for months, has three (four now) no shows of an NBN tech with ZERO communication, useless tech support from telstra, I’ve been told to power cycle my modem more times than I can remember.

  • gogolgyppo Dr. gogol (@gogolgyppo) reported

    @DifficultNerd ****** stumped. No idea. NBN issues?

  • GAZZA56721349 GAZZA (@GAZZA56721349) reported

    @HughMunro16 @ScottMorrisonMP The Australian people don't want to pay $40b a year to NDIS, it has issues needs a full review. The blow out just like Labors uncoated NBN. Great at elections bribes never costed and always blow out of control. Just can't trust Labor on Fiscal stuff.

  • Xcaliborg Aussie Jordan 🐨 (@Xcaliborg) reported

    My NBN hasn’t been working properly for the past couple of days and Telstra in their infinite power and knowledge have done nothing to help me yet again. Even purchased their “gaming package” which is supposed to help with online gaming but that didn’t do anything either.

  • shambolicgirl amg (@shambolicgirl) reported

    @peggymel2001 How bad is all that! And I have seen Murdoch sabotaged the NBN via Turnbull because it was a threat to FOXTEL!

  • DennisMennis11 ⚡Mennis⚡ (@DennisMennis11) reported

    @NBN_Australia 2nd @NBN_Australia techie couldn’t fix what the first crew broke, so a third crew is being scheduled to dig up my footpath, goodness knows when. Great work.

  • guyshrubsole Guy Shrubsole (@guyshrubsole) reported

    @BotanyCornwall @ecologypartners As a non-botanist, but someone interested in data, I’m surprised there’s not better join-up between different ecological datasets... it would surely really help! Can we get ERICA datasets put on NBN?

  • BlakeJennoLive BlakeJenno (@BlakeJennoLive) reported

    Dear @NBN_Australia can you please just plug the cable together. My wifi is still broken.

  • YugNivek Yug Nivek🐀 (@YugNivek) reported

    @JackieHansard @IntestinalWorm Labor might Fix the NBN & bring it up to speed. The NBN we have was Obsolete before it was begun. Obsolete Tech hooked up to Ancient, Degraded Copper. Even in Canberra they used 50+ YR Old paper wrapped copper, it cost more to join it all together than New Fibre would have cost!

  • redsandsredpoll Quentin Hooper (@redsandsredpoll) reported

    @iiNet so many outages in Gwelup WA for the past month I have resisted tweeting about it but currently 45 minutes on a Saturday afternoon is getting a bit ridiculous. Don’t care if it is an NBN issue or iiNet - it just needs to be fixed 😡😡😡

  • JB_Surfer JB (@JB_Surfer) reported

    @ShaneOliverAMP Australia apparently has NBN but its hands down the worst 8nternet in the world. Central and South America 15 years ago was faster with less blackouts . . .

  • KathSwinbourne Kathleen Swinbourne (@KathSwinbourne) reported

    JFC. I'm trying to watch the rugby. 1 min 52 in, it's buffered 3 times & just went to black. Wtf is wrong with this internet @NBN_Australia

  • elzbethmrgn Elizabeth Morgan (@elzbethmrgn) reported

    NBN is steadfastly terrible but it does mean I can upload bullshit to YouTube significantly faster.

  • Kyat1x Kyat (@Kyat1x) reported

    @CynicalAUS yeah your nbn would have stuffed up, happens to me once every few months, talk to your internet provider tell them you dont get your normal (0ms and that it sits around 40 now cause your NBN has stopped working, thank me later when they fix it

  • paulestorey The Evil One, coz scotty says I am (@paulestorey) reported

    @JoshFrydenberg @JEChalmers Bit rich Joshi. Trillion dollars in debt and after 8 years an NBN that needs fixing, wages going back and no plan for anything other than throwing money at your mates. #FAIL

  • lincolnrobinson Lincoln Robinson (@lincolnrobinson) reported

    @PaulFletcherMP Shame I'm not home to come and have a chat. Maybe you can come fix our NBN down the road.

  • gilestbaldwin Giles Taylor Baldwin (@gilestbaldwin) reported

    @abcnews Imagine realising that NBN was a waste of money from the start. Their were many experts that said we did not need to invest in the NBN, and that technology would make it obsolete. I never got the NBN installed at my country property. But I am now a Starlink Customer...

  • KaidenOZ Cass from 🤡🌏 (@KaidenOZ) reported

    @TheMontablac @elonmusk @SpaceX monthly fee is around AU$130, we already pay $100 a month so the extra 30 ain't so bad considering my download speeds are a fraction of what starlink is offering plus my NBN connection is unstable as **** even though i am parked on a junction.

  • Roberteveleigh2 Country boy (@Roberteveleigh2) reported

    @glasses_jono @michaelpearson2 @NBN_Australia At least you get a service! If you live outside any major regional centre you get nothing
