    I think I'll need to get a new modem as well, as I think my current modem will be locked to Iinet, so would hope to get a good unlimited NBN static IP plan with a modem, doing similar speeds (80Mbps down, 30-35ish Mbps up)

  • usaidwot At Last ! ✳✳✳✳-(parody) (@usaidwot) reported

    @baxters @Internode Adam Internet was everything I wanted in an ISP, the were bought by iiNet and things started to go down the pan, they were taken over by TPG and now they're rubbish. There's got to be a reason for the decline across the industry - maybe the NBN ??

  • richokinetic Chonk Norris (@richokinetic) reported

    Update to the whole NBN location - Turns out the it's has an embedded network for everything. Makes things easy, but also, you get pretty limited choices for everything which is annoying

  • RageSheen Henry Madison (@RageSheen) reported

    …ideas that gave us our string and tin can broadband. And notice the response to the energy crisis is going the same way, towards ‘protecting the vulnerable’. It’ll fail in the same way that’s failed for Covid, and for the NBN. The public is not a majority OR a minority. /6

  • surajpandey10 Dr Suraj Pandey (@surajpandey10) reported

    @Telstra Telstra services are back now. For 5 to 10mins my NBN didn't work, mobile service changed from 5G to 3G and back to 5G. I am guessing its not just me affected.

  • the_real_djskro Dan Skrovan (@the_real_djskro) reported

    @RushmoreLists Great list, but would not be complete without the pre-emotive cheating song Jolene by Dolly! Honorable mentions for Sorry by Beyonce, It Wasn’t Me by Shaggy, OPP by NbN (c’mon, who isn’t down with it?), and in the spirit of the season, Backdoor Santa by Clarence Carter

  • nlarkin_photo Nathan Larkin (@nlarkin_photo) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Hey @Optus! There has been an #NBN service fault for the last 2 days.. Any chance you might know when it will be resolved?

  • jvalin_s Jvalin Sonawala (@jvalin_s) reported

    @Telstra The root cause identified, I was never given speed boost add-on inspite of promising with the discounted rate. I had to ultimately call the sales people myself and the resolution took an hour @NBN_Australia

  • jpr007 JPR007 (@jpr007) reported

    A ping speed, or the time it takes for a signal to get to the satellite and back again, is generally about 32 milliseconds But Mr Thompson was finding it was about 700 milliseconds on the NBN service

    @abcnews I still pay for the SkyMuster NBN service. Still, a mobile tower was built near here around 8yrs ago and now comparatively. Mobile data is much cheaper than the charges for the NBN. $49.95 for 50GB, vs $69 for 500GB. The NBN is now a backup service.

  • sigmundsdroid Woof (@sigmundsdroid) reported

    @GrogsGamut wtf is a public servant getting paid that much for. even if they were not on the nose in the first place. old each way Albo isnt doing that well. and Rowlands isnt fixing the NBN. he needs to stop taking selfies to do some real work

  • cvr8 💧💉💉💉Caroline Mary (@cvr8) reported

    @Telstra you made an error on 18/12 by allowing our @NBN_Australia service to be transferred to another provider. Since then we have spoken to multiple Telstra employees who keep passing the issue from one to another. How do I get this resolved? On app since 10.20am!!

  • bcg1976 Dr Not for you (@bcg1976) reported

    @zerogeewhiz NBN guy? SkyMuster is just tops ;-) I just never understood the corporate hate with this guy. He's much more palatable than historical equivalents. Unless you feel his Twitter take is the same as Hank and his Dearborn Independent.

  • Ljb2Liam Liam Jenkinson(progressive)🐨🌞🌈🌳 (@Ljb2Liam) reported

    @Optus Can you please give an update on the investigation into Reduced Service NBN for postcode 4114 🤔

  • col_howell 💉💉💉💉😷 🐀 #VoteYES (@col_howell) reported

    @splucy @iiNet If the service is provided by NBN then you get the same service regardless of the ISP.

  • RickTown71 Rick Town (@RickTown71) reported

    @abcnews Probably because the massively over budget under delivered NBN let them down.

  • splucy Splucy ✪ (@splucy) reported

    would call me back at 8AM my time on Sun, the call back never happened. I continued to live stream & risked my server being tampered with. If memory serves right, business plan owners just don't get help on weekends. Any NBN ISP Static IP service providers you guys can suggest?

  • thenerdybonbon ⚜️Gem⚜️™️ (@thenerdybonbon) reported

    @buttskidz dw it’s just the consequences of moving just out of town, the power there is dodge and nbn ducking sucks at customer service. I’m getting a key cut tomorrow and swapping my mobile provider to get better coverage

  • GayleHartley Gayle Hartley (@GayleHartley) reported

    @Telstra any nbn outages in Brighton 3186. Your website outage report says no but I thought I’d check as I’ve booked a tech for tomorrow and don’t want to waste his time

  • waidimar waidimar (@waidimar) reported

    @Optus are you the Cityrail of the ISP world? why is your internet so unreliable? Please fix your NBN service

  • amp1874 Peter Vamplew (@amp1874) reported

    15 days, 10 phone conversations with @iiNet, 1 cancelled NBN appointment, several texts and phone calls with the NBN installer, multiple emails to my builder, 2 calls to the NBN, and an online chat to @NBN_Australia. Still no closer to a resolution. :-(

  • unbreakaiblekai 🎧 (@unbreakaiblekai) reported

    This nbn is ******* useless. They have said they’ll fix it three times and don’t ******* come? We haven’t had wifi for a whole ******* month and now I’m mad

  • Doooooooom4 Shazza. “Oceania!? That’s where I live!!!” (@Doooooooom4) reported

    So, the previous tenants took the NBN box with them - for non-Australians, this is the thing that makes the ****** Australian internet connect properly, and it belongs at the house, not to the occupier. And the real estate agent will not help us with this, apparently

  • samsuth1 Ahoma Seksha (@samsuth1) reported

    @jordantcarter @NBN_Australia @ChorusNZ NBN is so confusing with all the different access methods, and anything close to gigabit is scary expensive. Pls help fix!

  • _kyuneho merry kyu-ristmas 🎄🥕 ༘ (@_kyuneho) reported

    @PupAlexx_ OPTUS HAHAHHAHAHAH im getting nbn installed on friday soooo. maybe ill have no more issues after

  • maclardy Marion Good (@maclardy) reported

    @thaCodeMonkey My NBN’s down - what now?

  • BMcSport Brett McKay (@BMcSport) reported

    Hi @NBN_Australia - I had a service callout booked for 8am-12 noon today, but have so far head nothing from you. Your 1800 customer service number gives no option to enquire about a service call, so how can I find out what the the bloody hell is happening?

  • fitzgerald_qld Brendan FitzGerald (@fitzgerald_qld) reported

    @NBN_Australia why send someone out to destroy my service days before Christmas? #*****!

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @stealth_pony Thank you for taking the time to contact us. I'm sorry to hear you are currently experiencing network issues. So I get a better understanding to be able to assist you, are you able to confirm if this fault is related to your NBN or mobile broadband service? -Tigs
