    @Aussie_BB Hi Lizzie. I did that and an NBN ... I can't call them engineers as that would be an insult to engineers was supposed to come out yesterday to fix the damage the engineer that came out on Monday caused. Looks like they balled it up. No surprises there.

  • tubapocalypse big frog from runescape (@tubapocalypse) reported

    @raikrul Great about the speed, and hopefully it doesn't come to that and NBN can sort their **** out. So frustrating!!

  • JoeMonday42 Joe Monday (@JoeMonday42) reported

    @Diliboy0 @harrishfg @Trixie_Boo Pink batts… NBN… GFC… over the past two decades Labor has been a disaster for Australia… worst at State level where the development of much needed new enterprises has been deliberately undermined…

  • jasondcopland Jason Copland (@jasondcopland) reported

    @GreenJ @Telstra @NBN_Australia Telstra let us know that NBN fibre to the house was now possible for us. Woo hoo. While the speeds can be faster at times, I am very much over the "Dad, the internet is not working" shout outs. I am neither an IT fixit fellow, nor customer service at Telstra/NBN.

  • WazzaGc wazza_gc (@WazzaGc) reported

    @AintLeft And the Rudd Gillard Rudd years were squeaky clean. Craig Thomson. Garrett pink batts. Under scoped and under costed NBN just to get votes, then Conroy goes to ground. I get tired of this holier than thou crap.

  • evenstar Fíriel Olorindë (@evenstar) reported

    (my family literally used a local ISP since OneTel collapsed and they were the BOMB. they still are and I miss their service. we had to switch to iPringles because of the disaster that is the NBN. disasters all 'round!)

    @_KangaWho @NBN_Australia Unfortunately it's very common for outages to affect some and not all services in a particular area, to tell if an outage is impacting your service and then troubleshoot accordingly if not, we would need for you to get in touch. You can also contact via live chat on our website.

  • _KangaWho 🦘 Jason (@_KangaWho) reported

    @Aussie_BB @NBN_Australia I'm pretty sure you see POIs and know if an area/suburb is down. Also, I did call at 5:44pm and the wait time was 82mins, so I requested a call back, which I haven't received.

  • CatPurry9 Catherine (Cate/Cat) Perry ♿️ (@CatPurry9) reported

    Trying to upload to youtube. NBN is so slow tonight, it'll take nearly 2 hours to upload a 7 minute video. Pass.

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @BarelyHumanoid I'm sorry to hear about the issues with your NBN service, could you DM us your complete address so we can take a look? -Iz

  • ClintCarey Clint Carey (@ClintCarey) reported

    @Telstra trying to get support with my NBN being down.. after running the automated diagnostics and sitting in wait for hours still cant get consistent replies from tech support

  • TraceyCoulton Tracey Coulton (@TraceyCoulton) reported

    @andy_penn @Telstra Hey Andy - me again. Still no NBN at my house from 19 Dec 2021. Still paying for it. No urgency to fix it from Jo customer service person. When will it be reconnected.

  • RonRuys2 Ron Ruys AMIEAust (@RonRuys2) reported

    @Trisha_is_Back @camerondickqld NBN we spend billions on fibre network so I can get same 7mb/s I had on ADSL Just less reliable But someone made money from that plan

  • BarelyHumanoid Barely Humanoid (@BarelyHumanoid) reported

    Hey. @Optus Does it take a week to investigate a fault in your nbn service??? This is some pretty ******* pathetic service right now.

  • tertius_keen Mark Randall (@tertius_keen) reported

    @Telstra With the new development of 117 dwellings down the road I don't think you have or will upgrade the infrastructure to cope with this as I do not think developers have to pay you or the NBN to deliver to the site as already existing, but needs upgrading, bandwidth.

  • Duncan__Reece Duncan🍻Reece (@Duncan__Reece) reported

    @Diliboy0 @harrishfg @Trixie_Boo Compulsory super is a rort. NDIS is a rort. NBN doesn't work. Medicare is good. You got 1 out of 4 there.

  • oldlillipilli Joanna Mendelssohn (@oldlillipilli) reported

    @GreenJ @Telstra @NBN_Australia I had the same problem – until I dumped Telstra

  • NjbBari3 #MasksInSchools Dr Noor Bari (@NjbBari3) reported

    Of course, now the NBN is broken. Every time it rains… Suits my mood…

  • Grug_7 Grant Jennings (@Grug_7) reported

    @superloopnet after an 1hr on hold, call centre is now closed. Only recently joined and so far not the greatest service. After a storm in Brisbane my internet has been down since 3pm. Red flashing light on the NBN router plus clicking. NBN website says no fault 😓

  • tertius_keen Mark Randall (@tertius_keen) reported

    @Telstra 8 years of frustration here. Currently NBN and backup internet service crap, 4.31 Mbps upload on the back dongle Wifi. If there was a disruption or slowing of the service you would think that you would send a bulk message to peoples phones to advise fault and fix?

  • Duncan__Reece Duncan🍻Reece (@Duncan__Reece) reported

    @Diliboy0 @harrishfg @Trixie_Boo Compulsory super, like tax, is theft. Except tax goes to paying for things I use so it has a use. NDIS is being rorted, like everything the government funds. It is government funded privatisation. You a fan of privatisation? NBN still doesn't work, even if the other mob get in.

  • GreenJ jonathan green 💉💉💉 (@GreenJ) reported

    for almost two years now working from home ... and i have put up with the several times a day momentary @Telstra @NBN_Australia outages that trip out vpns and interrupt processes. But, you know what... i am now totally. fng. over it.

  • martyps MARTY🧣 (@martyps) reported

    @Balkanite87 Honestly I think it’s just my area having poor NBN. How much do you pay there?

  • Trisha_is_Back Trisha_is_back (@Trisha_is_Back) reported

    @NBN_Australia I've been dealing with Telstra via DMs on Twitter because I had so much trouble with the calls I made last night

  • Trisha_is_Back Trisha_is_back (@Trisha_is_Back) reported

    @NBN_Australia I never lost power... just lost the NBN - no lights at all on the nbn box. I rebooted when the internet connection "died" ensured the connection but not a green light (or any light) showing on the nbn box

  • TonkaTruckArgo Sean (@TonkaTruckArgo) reported

    Hey! @NBN_Australia don't want to take you away from the lego team building meetings and parties, but can you kinda just get on with building the network? I.e Gunning NSW still relying in on satellite, can't even get adsl from @Telstra

  • John47678748 John (@John47678748) reported

    @MettaBhavana1 Al the LNP ever does is cut from the poor and vulnerable to give to the rich. They don't understand the concept of doing things right in the first place saves lots of money and time. Case in point, NBN. To name but one. Slomo has plenty for rich friends, and they pay no tax.

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @markjbhansen Thanks for checking in with us this morning. NBN is still working hard on getting the network back up as soon as possible. We have not been given an ETA yet this morning. Apologies for the network disruptions. Kristy (1/2)

  • Trisha_is_Back Trisha_is_back (@Trisha_is_Back) reported

    @Telstra after spending almost an hour on the phone to your tech support yesterday my NBN has died.. initially had some cover but I cant get any tech support until the 9th Feb. Only reason I can get this msg to you is via a mobile broadband so no TV at all today sick kids
