  • GRayzor66 Geoff (@GRayzor66) reported

    @Telstra No actually you cant help , its a outage , 3 days now , but with the petty squabbling and game playing between telstra and nbn its the clients who suffer from lack of transparency and ridiculously long service calls …

  • jagungal1 Cormac Farrell (@jagungal1) reported

    Hot tip if you are in Canberra and @iiNet offer their wireless NBN service - run! Pretty dreadful service, cannot stream TV and be on the computer at the same time. No response to emails, and their customer service line has a one hour wait 🤬

  • Daz44160601 Darryl Komrade (@Daz44160601) reported

    @TaodeHaas Well he was told they would use copper wire and voted accordingly for 100 year technology. Like the NBN he is very slow on the uptake.

  • queball12 Matth Q (@queball12) reported

    Hey @NBN_Australia any chance your going to fix your issues in Everton Park 4053 any time this year. Three weeks of drop outs and your outage page says no works planned in the next 10 days.

  • Wraiyth Matt Stafford (@Wraiyth) reported

    @NBN_Australia Yes, it is back up today, but the fact that there was a ~8hr outage that wasn't acknowledged by NBN despite there being a tech looking at it, is definitely worrying and not a great experience trying to get information.

  • scp4151 scp4151 (@scp4151) reported

    @NBN_Australia how is a provider going to fix a fundamental infrastructure issue? The root cause of Australia having one of the worst broadband speeds (even donestic) in the developed world is the extremely poor network we have that is cobbled together from outdated tech.

  • stranger7777779 stranger (@stranger7777779) reported

    @SiriusS30099010 @SallyRMelb But most likely Albo will focus more on doing everything that Scott hasn’t done. ICAC Fix Aged Care Supply enough PPE & RATs/boosters Real climate action Fix the NBN debacle Govern. #auspol

  • ThurstoneMOAR Thurstone MOAR III (@ThurstoneMOAR) reported

    @jonathannen Yeah. I found it weird to watch the speed tests repeatedly hit ~300mbps when I was forced to tether my entire house infra off my phone when NBN was down.

  • Laura_Loot people are strange (@Laura_Loot) reported

    @Telstra Thanks Jimmy. Trying to get my NBN service to show up on My Telstra ap so we can manage parental controls so our kids don’t stay up all night watching Telstra TV. Apparently the fix is in and will take 48 hours.

  • John_Poot John Poot (@John_Poot) reported

    @andojc @RonniSalt Have you figured out why nbn is a crock of **** yet?

  • PaulDaleNT Paul Dale (@PaulDaleNT) reported

    Had to run an extension cord across the house to get the NBN box and wifi going to watch netflix. First world issues though as we could have hotspotted from phone.

  • rhinoz rhinoz (@rhinoz) reported

    @Telstra I also want to know when you have the 5G at home modems again bc i didn't actually want the NBN in the first place, @telstra but they will cut ADSL here soon and no info on when those delivery issues are solved...

  • Ifyousa54251090 Mr Krabappel (@Ifyousa54251090) reported

    @robair20 That commercial about the NBN, just now, was not stupid. Oh, you mean MAFS. Yeah, good point.

  • Kazie151 Kazie (@Kazie151) reported

    I just got a scam call pretending to work for the NBN & wanting to fix my computer. He was utterly shocked I answered the call & took a while to try to remember his nonsense. I was shocked too coz usually I get fraud alerts & don't answer. lol Reported thou.

  • mynkkool Mayank Kool (@mynkkool) reported

    Hey #nbn, I have lived in 3 countries and this is my worst experience to get an internet connection. Any chance you can resolve your “signal issues” at 20 Kimberley court, Bella Vista. It’s going to be a month without internet Can’t believe #nbn u r getting away with this service

  • TheRiffJet Riff Jet (@TheRiffJet) reported

    @CeagleChris @VodafoneAU Foxtel is the worst to deal with, unless you get the call center in Australia...and ironically the team here is the disconnections section. Optus I find hit n miss. My ISP since going over to NBN is shiphouse customer service. I’d rather watch reruns of Mind Your Language.

  • tertius_keen Mark Randall (@tertius_keen) reported

    @NBN_Australia How about just completing fibre optics to every house? You have the monopoly and shite service?

  • luciejones78 dante's inferno (@luciejones78) reported

    @Beltzaser @NBN_Australia @Optus Mine can’t even do that. My internet and phone coverage is non existent. I literally live in the middle of the city not in some random distant farmlands somewhere. They can’t even fix that

  • twasink Robert Watkins (@twasink) reported

    @DoctorKarl Most likely it's a problem at the pit near your house. The connections can get *****, particularly after rain; they don't tend to be well sealed. Report it to the NBN (via your ISP) and they'll send someone out to clean it.

  • itsagrandollife stay at home dad (@itsagrandollife) reported

    @BelongAU still no internet still no NBN appointment. I hope your internet isnt as slow as your service!

  • MoonfireDragons Scarkii (@MoonfireDragons) reported

    apparently im moving out again so i may not be able to stream for a few weeks after that happens, since we'll have to setup NBN and all that, gonna be rapidly draining money yet again cause my father has very poor financial choices

  • John_Poot John Poot (@John_Poot) reported

    @andojc @RonniSalt Have you figured out whe nbn is a crock of **** yet?

  • dragonsgirl2010 Mandy C (@dragonsgirl2010) reported

    @jdrama68 I use Aussie and tech support is fantastic and Aussie based. Can’t comment on the speed though. Monthly invoice all in order and no issues at all. Helped me identify my modem was not compatible when I went to NBN

  • jagungal1 Cormac Farrell (@jagungal1) reported

    @iiNet Have sent several emails to your support desk. No response. Also contacted NBN. They were quick to pass the buck to you FYI.

  • mcdonellaussie mark mcdonell 🐅🐅🏆 (@mcdonellaussie) reported

    @NBN_Australia Wow fibre upgrades! I would just love an adequate NBN service! Maybe fibre you the curb instead of wireless. I mean across the road and one next door neighbour actually have fibre to the node! But not us living in Numurkah

  • itsagrandollife stay at home dad (@itsagrandollife) reported

    @newstoall @BelongAU @MobileMuster1 I'd cancel the service. Ive waited 1 month for a connection. 10 minute call to NBN and the problem is obvious. Belongs response is that they are working on it and wait another 24-48 hrs... not good enough.

  • LizzieClarke00 lynne clarke (@LizzieClarke00) reported

    3...I asked if I could call him back and he gave me the real 1800 NBN Tower number address in Melb., which made me think that he really was legit. So, I call the Tech help line for Aussie Broadband. She told me NBN would never contact a customer direct...4

  • dragonsgirl2010 Mandy C (@dragonsgirl2010) reported

    @jdrama68 I found the support great, they also let you know ahead any planned NBN outages, also if they get cancelled. I’m on a lower plan but speed always as per plan. Much better than iprimus where the Broadband speed was so poor and support is local. Prices competitive

  • EYECEE9 EYE CEE (@EYECEE9) reported

    When both @NBN_Australia and your internet provider @Optus gaslight you & maintain there is no network outage when the internet connection has been dead for almost an hour 🙃 #WFH #outage #netoutage

  • NewtonMark Mark “Three-Jabs” Newton (@NewtonMark) reported

    @DoctorKarl Shannon-Hartley theorem yields the maximum amount of error-free digital data that can be transmitted over a communications channel with a specified bandwidth in the presence of noise. Copper S/N ratio is pretty well understood; Your NBN doesn’t just suck, it sucks with science.
