  • harleighv Harleigh Venables (@harleighv) reported

    @telstra I have spent 30 hours in a loop with chat support who have done nothing to rectify an issue with my NBN. I need a replacement box due to lightning strike frying it. Simple stuff. Instead, support has done nothing but go round in circles. Help!! I’m at my wits end.

  • MonicaB14750640 Monica Buchanan (@MonicaB14750640) reported

    @TurnbullMalcolm @RBReich This is the one that gave us garbage NBN.. he will not be remember for anything good.

  • NBN_Australia nbn™ Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @michelwo If there isn’t anything listed here, we recommend raising this outage with your provider, who will be able to do some troubleshooting an, if need be, they will log a case with their nbn support teams on your behalf. 2/3

  • michelwo michelle (@michelwo) reported

    @NBN_Australia What’s happening in Balmain 2041. ?There is an outage no internet. How long until it will be fixed?

  • boxcar808 Boxcar (@boxcar808) reported

    @NBN_Australia @TPG_Telecom Glebe exchange down, expected for 7 hours...no warning, seriously how the f@ck does #auspol expect to deliver ANY kind of future for his country with garbage infrastructure.

  • jamesworrell James Worrell (@jamesworrell) reported

    Support at @Telstra you should be ashamed. Rang 132000 to order a new @NBN_Australia modem (fried from lightning, wouldn't have happend with FTTP btw) - what should have been a 3 or 4 min call call took 42 mins (so far) and yet still couldn't get an order in - server issue.

  • Carolynn_Skye Carolynn Skye (@Carolynn_Skye) reported

    @retrogaming346 @comcast Our internet here is **** too, sucks you only have the one option. We swapped to 4G for our home because it was seriously the best option we had and costing like $10 more than NBN was

  • NBN_Australia nbn™ Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @DebraBondDesign Hey Debra! Sorry to hear this. We know how frustrating appointment cancellations can be. All appointments are booked and managed by your provider and their internal nbn support team. 1/2

  • 50_Billion_ppl Stirling (@50_Billion_ppl) reported

    @jamesworrell Damn, we might have had something like that near by, but no power out or anything, all the lights on ours is still going but Optus is telling us it's a nbn problem so have to wait for them to do something about it

  • indica2007 💧 The Noisy Toaster Villain (@indica2007) reported

    after looking at many weather services i think this cyclone just gonna bring a lot of wet not much wind here i dont think but my net is reliant on satilight and dies in bad weather dont stress if i go offline its the nbn not me floating down the creek

  • tonyvibo Tony (@tonyvibo) reported

    @grissomsladybug Ok, so maybe it's not the router, but if you think your not getting the speed you are paying for, keep on hounding your service provider till they fix it. On any NBN service you should be able to stream games.

  • BloxyWeather NBN | National Bloxburg News (@BloxyWeather) reported

    NBN will sadly make the decision to close down today. Here is the timeline. 1/17/2021 - Shutting down website, and banner/bio changes 1/18/2021 - Officially Shut Down, BloxTime Hotels becomes new account name 1/21/2021 - Website will be finished, and hotel work will begin

  • Itsbeenreall Doug Bowles (@Itsbeenreall) reported

    Trying to upload the film my daughter and I made. Finally got it finished and like the end result. My internet speed is like watching paint dry. NBN sucks. I'm going to employ mice on a wheel and get the speed I need.

  • dpjohnst Dylan Johnston (@dpjohnst) reported

    @michelwo @NBN_Australia Still down...

  • cathybraypoet The Tangent Queen (@cathybraypoet) reported

    @Optus my nbn Optus wifi has been down all morning in birchgrove 2041

  • OneBlueUmbrella Blue (18+ only) (@OneBlueUmbrella) reported

    Hey @Optus I’ve spent far too long trying to cancel my NBN installation appointment and I STILL keep getting notifications that someone will be here tomorrow. I. WON’T. BE. HOME. You’d better not charge me for this appointment which I NO LONGER WANT OR NEED.

  • trampanya SPNIMPALAGIRL - #SPNFamily - #VicsDoItBetter (@trampanya) reported

    3/3 My new provider has already couriered my NEW & FREE (Foxtel wanted $149 for the shittiest) modem to me and the NBN tech will be here 27 Jan. Home phone & all energy is now with them and my monthly costs will go down quite a bit, once I've paid all the up front bills.

  • drew_keenan Drew Keenan (@drew_keenan) reported

    @NBN_Australia "Our" NBN system is incredibly dysfunctional and broken. How did we create a system devoid of accountability and which puts the end-customer last?

  • WeRWorld Fiona (@tiffinbitesized) (@WeRWorld) reported

    @WeAreBrisbane So no NBN where you are? That’s bloody terrible! What suburb.

  • akibacore VIBRI* (@akibacore) reported

    WHY DID THE INTERNET PROVIDER PUT TAPE OVER THE NBN PLUG I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE TIL NOW NK WONDER IT NEVER WORKED

  • DebraBondDesign Debra Bond Designs (@DebraBondDesign) reported

    @NBN_Australia Please tell me why my appointment to repair my NBN was cancelled without warning last night & now I can’t get someone for a week? Absolutely appalling customer service, and you’re killing my business which can’t operate without internet 🤬

  • harleighv Harleigh Venables (@harleighv) reported

    @50_Billion_ppl Nbn box is completely dead, no lights. I have the Telstra Smart Modem which falls back to 4G so thankfully I managed to get that working yesterday. Potentially yours has done the same which could explain slow speeds? See if your NBN box is illuminated.

  • Marie_Perold Marie Perold (@Marie_Perold) reported

    @NBN_Australia is there an issue in Cremorne? NBN box showing not online

  • boxcar808 Boxcar (@boxcar808) reported

    trying to complete a job application, 10am on a Monday morning and #auspol's utter garbage @NBN_Australia drops out...beyond pathetic. its just not reliable.

  • drew_keenan Drew Keenan (@drew_keenan) reported

    @NBN_Australia I did all the troubleshooting & confirmed with my neighbours (on different providers) of the upstream problem only to have my provider book a time for you to come to our individual residence. This is utterly illogical.

  • TPG_Telecom TPG (@TPG_Telecom) reported

    @IanRoyall Hi Ian, as per NBN Co, the copper cables will not be disconnected as long as you have a pending NBN order, which means that your ADSL service will not be disconnected until NBN service is not yet installed in your address. -Mel

  • grissomsladybug Fiona B (@grissomsladybug) reported

    So, here's cheers to the Federal Government who ****** up the NBN to the point where I can't even play a basic game like Minecraft online properly because I'm stuck with stupid FTTN. My friend in a town with about 500 people gets better speed on fixed wireless...

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @informationarc Hi there, Adam. Sorry to hear about the NBN issues you're having. I've had a look at Balmain NSW 2041 and was unable to see a reported outage. I'd be more than willing to take a closer look into this if you send us a DM with your full address or account no - Nard

  • Sarah_Alice_X Sarah Alice | Fire on the Horizon (@Sarah_Alice_X) reported

    @MifWhy @jonkudelka Do you have the NBN down there yet, or is it still dial up?

  • drew_keenan Drew Keenan (@drew_keenan) reported

    @NBN_Australia It is too much to expect some degree of proactive network monitoring and troubleshooting rather than relying on customers to report issues via their providers?
