    If our @NBN_Australia is like this for the Australian census night, our family won’t exist as won’t be able to fill in the online forms… will have to drive down the road for mobile coverage. Can we have our old copper to node connection back?

    @NBN_Australia still cannot connect a NBN service to my mothers location. Yet it says in website its serviced by FTTN, but here we are 6+ months (3 retail providers) and still cannot get a service. They blame construction, but what happened to project planning before that :)

    @JohnnyLydon I just moved to a new NBN provider. While researching, Canstar, Whistleout and others just gave me the same handful of companies to choose from. After asking AI (both Grok and ChatGPT) I ended up with a huge list of potentials with some real good deals. Comparison sites are ****.

    @moffat14 @TopherField You do know it was the Libs that ****** it up. Labour started the process and as soon as the Libs got in, they put the handbrakes on it and started all this NBN node ****. Fine to blame governments but at least blame the right one

    @TopherField I cancelled my NBN service after the council changed my address, and updating the NBN details proved too difficult. The address mismatch caused constant disconnections. I’ve since switched to wireless internet. Won't go back to NBN

    @TheAusInstitute Malcolm wants to defend the country with Dorkas. Like his Dorky garbage NBN and Snowy snowflake grift. You can bet whatever Malcom here is advocating for his face will be deep in the trough

    @basespanker @Batman2242 That was a fttn upgrade with Telco support, but libs called it fraudband due to the minor upgrade so it got scrapped and years later the #nbn was formed to rollout fibre to 93% of premises. LNP got in and decided to do fraudband

    Just had the Indian "tradie" experience. Our ISP offered free connection to the NBN fibre network so they sent out the installer. Long story short, I rejected his ludicrous proposal to destroy my concrete slab driveway so they could run the shortest cheapest route of cables.

    @Starlink Hi, I received the Starlink kit today. I thought the installation would be easy, but I found it difficult. I have decided to keep my NBN service instead, so I would like to cancel my Starlink service and return the kit. Please let me know the return process. Thank you.

  • BrentHodgson

    @geofiasco @DHughesy @aaronsmith Aside: Whether the Telstra sale was ultimately a windfall is contested. It raised $60bn to sell the assets, then we spent $60bn on NBN Co just to regain access to the assets sold and duplicate/upgrade the network we sold - and Telstra has paid something like $80-85bn in shareholder dividends along the way. In many respects, NBN shouldn't exist. It should have been the $80-85bn in "shareholder dividends" to the Public Owner that paid for the fibres to be laid - not a $60bn investment after a $60bn sale. But NBN was forced to be created after a now-shareholder-owned Telstra responded to how it might build a national broadband network with a non-compliant 12 page letter effectively saying "we won't - the copper wires are our privately-owned monopoly and we want to protect our market monopoly".

    @JakeTurx It sounds like you have the same issues to negotiate. American Yeshivish is not Israeli Charedi. Prices are high. And so on. Demanding that others change for you will go nowhere. If you're ready for the move, call NBN and get the ball rolling. 6/6

    @Thejimpenman Yet the business minded LNP… $2.4B on #Robodebt $5.5B to cancel the French submarine contract $50B the NOT NATIONAL NBN + 20B more thx directly to Mr Abbott $254B for LNP stage 3 taxcuts over 10yrs - stopped by Labor. Oh wait, is that ur actual beef? Missed out?

    @STEVEFI14205588 when power and all communications services were out for 6 days after last flood my ISP disconnected my NBN service because i could not go online to pay my bill because the NBN and all mobile service was down. ironic that even when there is no service we still have to pay for it.

    @NBN_Australia Working hard! More like hardly working! It's been nearly 24hrs since it went down with no updates, no notice of what's actually wrong. NBN being government funded as well, is so ****!

  • Rolly50Hundred
    Rolly polly (@Rolly50Hundred) reported

    @B_e_n_n_y @r0ck3t23 It’s already obsolete. If you have decent 5G it’s light years ahead of NBN. Most cities don’t have proper 5G though. They think they do but it’s awful pretty much everywhere except Gold Coast.

    @Optus This morning, just after 11am, I noticed that my @Optus @NBN_Australia connection stopped working, resulting in no internet or telephone service. I’m located in the Inner West Sydney area. Is this an unscheduled outage. What is going on? This is so frustrating!

    @Bryan_APDS There he is, popping up again in his blue suit! Mr Copper Wire NBN $65billion. “No Bloody Network” he stopped a HFC roll out to install Prof. Alex Graham Bell’s copper wire from 1876. Famous words to Mr Watson, the first phone call. Australia let it happen!

    Downloading apps to buy cheap end equipment to give something’s a try and wow this not a pleasant experience. As Tech Lead would not have let this code out. Session management is so poor. The sites lag even on town based NBN. No company cares anymore tbh they just lock you in.

    @Temjinck @TopherField There was hardly any logic demonstrated by the pro-NBN side of the debate back then, just emotion. And the worst was the ABC’s Nick Ross

    Scheduled power outage and NBN outage. It’s a very Amish Monday morning.

    @OMGTheMess Twice the ALP voted down Howard with forward looking telecoms infrastructure 1. Mid 80’s when universal ISDN connections were proposed, aka digital telephony 2. Early 2000’s national CDMA network covering 99% of the landmass for IOT devices Then we were mandated the NBN…

    Ummm. I don’t mean to be “that guy” but, has anyone else noticed that the #EmergencyAlert test seems to have, ya know, crashed the internet in Australia? #NBN is down everywhere. Phone internet seems to be okay. This could get interesting.

    @TopherField Kevin07 rammed an uncosted NBN idea through with ~$10b funding. Next gov continued despite true costs far higher & timelines half of actual. Downgraded to cut costs so never as promised. Both major parties keep pouring money into bad ideas like this. did someone say NDIS?

    Garfield C. Reynolds (@GarfieldR1966) reported

    @NBN_Australia sure enough this problem still isn’t resolved. Outage page has been showing us as facing network degradation all week. Regular dropouts and slow connectivity. Will you ever fix this???

    @Nick40156474438 @Willygc13Will @JimThom90458694 I feel this. NBN is absolute ***. Every day I too get outages and need to reboot everything. So bad it’s a routine for me. Pretty close to changing to Starlink myself.

    I told people when the Krudd had his NBN brain fart that it would be a colossal waste of money and that the future was wireless, and people told me I was being stupid. I remember the French government and their massive white elephant the Minitel system. Same government stupidity, every single time.
