    When your NBN has been down all day & you haven’t been able to watch any Armidale trots on the TV 😢 #grim

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @MichaelMapham Thanks for reaching out to us. Can you please direct message us to confirm if this is in regards to your Optus mobile or NBN internet service? Kartik

  • WalPeters wal peters (@WalPeters) reported

    @BenFordhamLive He stuffed up our NBN internet (one of the slowest in developed countries) with huge cost blowout and slow rollout --- He hasn't got a good track except for making himself rich!

  • kimhonan Kim Honan (@kimhonan) reported

    @jcjobau Oh good work. Despite asking, @telstra never credited me for the weeks either without service or slow speed during that time. For NBN. I wonder though how long they kept charging people whose homes were flooded, if they credited their accounts back for service unused.

  • ant_esdaile Ant Esdaile (@ant_esdaile) reported

    @BenFordhamLive Every thing that idiot has had a hand in turned into a white elephant requiring a black budget to fix. Example; NBN roll-out, Murray Darling Irrigation water buy back. It's what happens when banisters hold the purse strings.

  • JAYDZLE JDZL (@JAYDZLE) reported

    @NBN_Australia messages me 30mins before I have a live Zoom performance that they’re doing maintenance and the network will be down. Bloody useless!!!

  • tappo66 bradT (@tappo66) reported

    @roobiefox Moved house 18mnths ago, the absolute worst NBN, @Telstra contacted almost weekly...crickets...eventually complained to TIO and falling now over themselves, sending out a tech..."Platinum" one no less...to fix a problem I supposedly don't have...we'll see if the tech turns up...

  • logitantalus Luke Smith (@logitantalus) reported

    @NBN_Australia @Optus what is the status of the network outage in Northcote? Been unavailable most of today.

  • jimilne Shakna Israel (@jimilne) reported

    @Telstra Absolutely worth sending someone. However, the last three times that you've tried that, NBN have cancelled the tech. No modem upgrade has been discussed yet - because removing the modem from the equation doesn't fix the problem.

  • dwjperry Dr David Perry (@dwjperry) reported

    @fictillius I am a little worried Starlink is inherently investor-subsidised and it will coming crashing down eventually... going back to NBN would be bad 😱

  • ShereeSF1 ShereeSF (@ShereeSF1) reported

    @BenFordhamLive Surprise. Another complete government fail with taxpayer money. Business case? NBN, CEFC, this and at State govt Wellcamp. They need to be held accountable for this utter contempt for taxpayer money. They’re supposed to be stewards not drunken sailors.

  • symo1962 Alphie233 (@symo1962) reported

    @NBN_Australia 26-02-2023 04:09:52PM nbn has requested a technician to attend the site and investigate further. 26-02-2023 12:05:57PM A local power outage is impacting the nbn network causing a loss of service to customers

  • Sophiethewonde1 Sophie the wonder dog (@Sophiethewonde1) reported

    @miwe666 @LJPatton @BenFordhamLive What is that, conceived on the back of a beer coaster btn kevie07 and Wayne Swan. All costs blow outs predicted then. Mate you need to grown up. In Sydney, 1 power pole supplies 500 residents, in country NSW 500 poles supply 1 resident. Rudd s NBN was never going to work.

  • thexboxlucio thexboxlucio (@thexboxlucio) reported

    Optus won’t connect my NBN or cancel my NBN. Wtf am I even meant to do this is whack! No internet again 🫠🫠

  • DimSimCard Dimitri Karanasios (@DimSimCard) reported

    Anyone else having an internet outage with @TPG_Telecom - @NBN_Australia

  • DvnoVFX EVL Dvno (@DvnoVFX) reported

    @VortexM_ yeh a guy from my service provider came and said theres a problem w the nbn box then an nbn guy comes says there's a problem w the service box, onto month 3 of no internet

  • NadiaStain Nadia Steyn (@NadiaStain) reported

    @DodoAustralia is there an outage in Wembley? nbn box is only getting the power light on.

  • symo1962 Alphie233 (@symo1962) reported

    @aDB @NBN_Australia Been down 7 hours Northcote today. Power outage - Ha as if

  • JamezPlayzGames JamezPlayzGamez0 (@JamezPlayzGames) reported

    @SlaveOfSuzumiya @SuperSJSonic According to Google the average speed in Australia is 791mbps (using NBN) I don't have NBN, so my speed is around 10mbps when downloading something through Steam or Xbox. It's really bad on Chrome though. 😭

  • HedgeDee Dee Hedge (@HedgeDee) reported

    @BenFordhamLive Almost as bad as the NBN debacle.

  • Caseyprotect Casey Sugden (@Caseyprotect) reported

    Excuses galore, yet another day taken off work. Nbn executives are paid to deliver terrible service.

  • bittenbydesign Bitten By Design (@bittenbydesign) reported

    @PaulRob11880584 @BenFordhamLive Or when Morrison announced his ‘fix’ for the NBN which literally took it back to original spec. Just two weeks before Murdoch announced his new digital news channel (what lucky timing right!)… not that the NBN was previously crippled for cable tv profits or anything!…

  • iiNet iiNet (@iiNet) reported

    @OliviaRadonich Hi Olivia, NBN has an outage in your area, caused by an outage in the power network that services their equipment. They've advised that once the power provider restores service, the connection should return.

  • keef0064 Keef (@keef0064) reported

    @RositaDaz48 Strongly dislike Malcolm Turnbull, but his plan for the NBN was vastly better than Labor's gold plated solution of fibre to the premise for every home.

  • jimilne Shakna Israel (@jimilne) reported

    @Telstra No idea why ticket was on hold. NBN tech booked, again. We'll see if they cancel it, again.

  • JamieRadford66 TheRealOogieBoogieBush🌳 (@JamieRadford66) reported

    @Torkium @Telstra Kogan mobile is definitely the cheapest if you wait for their deals. Have the young fella on a 365 day prepaid - 300gb unlimited calls & text & only paid $140. Also using Felix mobile for a modem as we don't have an nbn box. Unlimited data, calls & text for $35 pm. Works a treat

  • mitdroid mit (@mitdroid) reported

    Hey @NBN_Australia you deliver NBN to @iiNet ? Can you update on 6 hour outage in 3070 please? Please any information....even a crumb ... Issue? What's happening? ETA for fix..... anything?

  • Caseyprotect Casey Sugden (@Caseyprotect) reported

    @NBN_Australia still awaiting your credit team to refund the double payment of installing nbn and I am@look for@compensation for the terrible service.

  • betterbushcomms BIRRR (@betterbushcomms) reported

    @SnowyRVulpix @NBN_Australia Starlink dont have a fair use policy so heavy users of the network can impact everyone by creating congestion.
