  • Draxonfly Draxon Bailo (@Draxonfly) reported

    @Optus dudes! Second weekend in a row the nbn goes down in Uranquinty 2652.. all weekend again im guessing??.. sucks :(

  • BrowntownBrew Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported

    @abcnews You've forgotten that in extreme heat the nodes shutdown to prevent damage, not an issue with other techs, so users on fttn may lose connection due to heat, rain, electrical storms. If only they installed fttp which would actually have required less funding #nbn

  • BrowntownBrew Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported

    @TammyWolffs @abcnews Usually the impact to 4g or 5g is congestion from people not being able to use #nbn and using their phones instead. There may be some degraded signal strength in heavy weather

  • TammyWolffs Tammy (@TammyWolffs) reported

    @BrowntownBrew @abcnews Thanks for the reply. I don't have NBN - I use phone data instead, and plan to get home 5g when it comes to my area. I can't say I've noticed a difference in bad weather, but the article made me curious.

  • Sor84172970 Sor (@Sor84172970) reported

    NBN is still down and no internet, I hope my mobile's internet be sufficient until they rectify the damage.

  • Regrozenah Regrozenah (@Regrozenah) reported

    So. Our ISP apparently decided today was the best day to show their utter incompetence. My upload dipped from 18MB/s, all the way to 1.5MB/s, which is what I had before we got NBN. I won't ask my viewers to watch pixelated garbage, so I've cancelled for today. Sorry guys.

  • GreenCap13 Harvey Mushman (@GreenCap13) reported

    @SkyNewsAust FOR 8 YEARS the LNP have done nothing. Now their PR man Chris says "looks it's not working!!!" Just like their 💩 NBN It's because of their policies not the technology - There is an easy way to Fix this mess VOTE SCOTT MORRISON OUT

  • sammiedude88 Sam Sammoi Gordon (@sammiedude88) reported

    @Telstra I need assistance with my fathers NBN service, still having ongoing issues with the service which has been happening for MONTHS now, had a new modem ect snd still the same issues, I’m authorised on the account.

  • btckr Barry Tucker (@btckr) reported

    Is Twitter broken, broken-ish? Couldn't load it initially. Can't open lots of places. Various excuses being offered. DNS server? Maybe the "NBN" is flooded, or the copper wire is saturated, or the whole thing's submerged in Victoria.

  • janr572 Just Jan (@janr572) reported

    Well, @Optus …. Here I am, YET AGAIN watching his pre-recorded war movies and train documentaries because THE INTERNET IS DOWN. AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES A DAY NOW. @NBN_Australia probably YOUR FAULT. @Foxtel YOU’RE NO BETTER It’s like the 1980’s in my house. Crank up the VCR

  • janr572 Just Jan (@janr572) reported

    Him: “I’d like to know how they got their hands on a 1960’s tank in 1944” #ABridgeTooFar I should not be subjected to this. @Optus @NBN_Australia @Foxtel Hang your heads in shame. GIVE ME BACK MY INTERNET AND FOXTEL IMMEDIATELY!!! #bloodyoutages

  • JeromeFahrer Jerome Fahrer (@JeromeFahrer) reported

    Kudos to @NBN_Australia Was having internet troubles (upload speed of 0.2 Mbs, which was very bad for sending emails with attachments). Technician came at the appointed time, climbed up a telegraph pole to replace a rusted and corroded part, everything now good as gold.

  • MitchPommers Chief Problem Solver Mitch (@MitchPommers) reported

    Outage start at 10:30AM. First update from @NBN_Australia at 2PM to say they are going to send someone out to start investigating 😩😩😩

  • shitfor Jim Sim (@shitfor) reported

    @alexbhturnbull Despite seeing so so much, I still underestimate how insanely **** Australia’s internet is after your dad ruined it with his failed NBN.

  • AussieFedUp Fed up Aussie (@AussieFedUp) reported

    @NBN_Australia Thanks Sarah. It was only temporary. But my telephone/answering machines issues are another problem altogether.

  • Mitchie950 Mitchie950 (@Mitchie950) reported

    Aussie Broadband just top tier customer service getting someone out on Tuesday to see if they can fix this NBN issue I've been having Absolute legends @Aussie_BB

  • MorganLStewart Morgan Stewart (@MorganLStewart) reported

    @TPG_Telecom Hi Charm, no NBN outage detected so I will message. Thanks!

  • ckylam ckylam (@ckylam) reported

    @TPG_Telecom - No internet for 7 hours now. what’s going on? NBNCo says it’s a TPG issue and you guys are saying it’s a NBN issue?? Hello customer caught in the middle!

  • Deanosim Deanosim 🥔 (@Deanosim) reported

    The NBN doesn't work without power while ADSL did if you had a generator or an old rotary phone you could still use the internet or make calls. Now if the power goes out for days like it is in parts of Victoria (we are on day 3 of no power and cell networks where out for 2 days.)

  • fayrebumpplayon unladenswallow (@fayrebumpplayon) reported

    @SITC_CEO_Shanna It’s Australia’s story. I live 12km from Brisbane CBD and still don’t have NBN. I have to rely on 4G home wireless because the maximum speed I can get on ADSL is 2mbps. With the 4G tower down for maintenance this week, how does one run their business from home?

  • Murdr_iN ᴍᴜʀᴅʀ ɪɴ (@Murdr_iN) reported

    Internet is fried again over this stupid NBN

  • parrottrees Ben Holley (@parrottrees) reported

    @Optus when are you going to fix the landline internet and mobile broadband services in Croydon because we have @NBN_Australia but nothing no internet at all.

  • Dragonator_The 🏳️‍🌈 Jezz||Relinthia 🏳️‍🌈 (@Dragonator_The) reported

    @NBN_Australia Can we get a solid uninterrupted service for more than a few days at a time? The NBN is broken and I hate this. Its issue after issue and its not my providers fault. -_-

  • ColinSmythe2 Colin Smythe (@ColinSmythe2) reported

    @NBN_Australia IM GETTING REALLY SICK OF THE NBN DROPPING OIUT ALL THE TIME!!!! FIX IT SO IT STOPS DOING THAT AND FIX IT NOW!! WHATEVER YOU DO DONT YOU DARE START THIS BLAME GAME CRAP WHERE YOU BLAME THE PROVIDER AND THE PROVIDER BLAMES YOU IM NOT IN THE MOOD FOR THAT ****!!

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @Draxonfly Hey Draxon, very sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with that NBN service. We have identified a fault in that Uranquinty area and our teams are working to resolve this asap. If you're able to send us a DM we can track this on our end and provide updates.Rob

  • gcarrick It’s Not A Big Ask To Wear A Mask (@gcarrick) reported

    Our modern tech falls over with high winds. We lose ALL power, phones, NBN in a storm. When we need it, we have no communication available. This is stupid and dangerous, but it's all the Government & business allow us to have. We are the dumb country. #storms #auspol #poweroutage

  • ckylam ckylam (@ckylam) reported

    @NBN_Australia - is there someone fixing the issues at 2ASH-68? It has been 14 hours!! My ISP has had no updates wrt an ETA for this issue. It’s the long weekend so what are our chances of this being fixed soon?

  • dprk_ebooks DPRK-chan~ (@dprk_ebooks) reported

    @NBN_Australia Cable has not been made safe other than to coil the two ends up. Damage is a copper cable running from the telecom pit in the street to my house and it's an FTTC type connection. Tried to phone NBN and got told it was a provider issue, provider's first date to come out is 17/6.

  • fukawi2 ᴩʜɪʟʟɪᴩ ꜱᴍɪᴛʜ (@fukawi2) reported

    Why does @NBN_Australia not have disaster recovery plans for simple power outages? I've invested thousands in emergency power, they've apparently invested zero. The local pizza shop was up and running on a generator within 24hrs ffs.
