    @NBN_Australia Another “unplanned outage “ in Montmorency area, I really don’t think we are getting value for money. NBN is either very slow or down 😡

    @Telstra New NBN, wanted Foxtel, bought Fetch. But Fetch can’t get Foxtel, can’t cancel, no refund no return, throw the Fetch box in the bin, or they said “they would recycle it responsibly”. Now I want some real science, an energy balance not virtue signalling .

    @JEChalmers You aren't creating any new private sector jobs. You aren't even investing in the private sector with public companies anymore. The last one was the ****** NBN a full generation ago now. ***** sake! Found some ******* publically owned companies and show you actually ******* support growing the economy. AND GET RID OF CGT AND INCOME TAX! Hike the GST if you need to keep the revenue the same.

    @Borindas_Lament @pikey14 Like the NDIS or the NBN or Snowy were "costed"? They seem to be the only party talking about actually reducing spending, fraud and waste. Like all parties they will over promise and under deliver but at least they are raising these things as actual issues

    @19Andy7o Never, when the ALP is concerned they are never at fault it is always everybody else fault. They introduced NDIS,NDIA, NBN, Voice,the list is endless however always remember it is not their fault!

    @EdsonKeenan Got it – selfies failing to verify your age/ID (and sounds like NBN connection isn't the issue). Try: bright even lighting, full face straight-on, no hat/glasses/filters, clean camera lens. Retry a few times. If it still rejects, X often offers gov ID upload (driver's licence/passport) as next step. What's the exact error message or your country? That'll narrow it.

    @xeveriano1 @4mambo My speed went from 40 under the LNP to over 500 under Labor after FREE NBN upgrades. We got free fibre to the premises after the LNP’s ridiculous and stupidly slow fibre to the node

    We pay like a $150 a month for the premium of Telstra mobile and it doesn’t even work immediately when out NBN drops. What are we even paying extra for? Fix your trash Telstra 😡😡 @Telstra

    Never liked MTV, but wouldn't tolerate d3ath threats against any channel, MTV, mayadeen, Manar, Aljadeed, Future, LBCi, OTV, NBN. Unacceptable by any measures. Imperfect and biased like most of our channels, but not as much as some. Ma badda hal2ad. I see blind unfounded hate

    Australia’s NBN said a new fiber internet test reached speeds above 200 gigabits per second, far beyond today’s 2 gigabit service levels.

    @J6otti @bluewavedream ALP started it, then LNP screwed it by wasting 10 years and $30B reusing copper. LNP eventually realised the massive mistake and gave more money to fix their mistake. The copper part is costing #nbn a fortune each year and needs to be replaced

    Additionally, my internet has been spotty since yesterday, I've already organised my ISP to swap out my old NBN box which I've had since we first switched to NBN for a shiny new one. But just in case I need to cancel stream, I'll try to make up the hours elsewhere!

    @Andrew_Godman @DPRVenjoyer @hisaflog100 Ironic since they now rely on the NBN to deliver their product following the end of their satellite service.

    @Riogallica Didn't know you could contact NBNco. I've had 3 NBN boxes **** up (nearby lightning 🌩 strike) Contact provider. Ausie BB, 1-3 days. Next door has Optus, 1-2 weeks.

    Benjamin Bavea (@BBavea) reported

    @KendallJenner Optus struggles to cover here too. It isn't as bad as Vodafone, but it doesn't seem to have any better signal than Telstra & they're like double the price. It's in the small hours of the morning when signal drops. One NBN fibre connection between 150 struggles.

    @Freddy717263 Of course I knew the power was dead - but only for the NBN. Everything else in the house was working - hence my call. PS - I'm not an electrician, but at least I solved my own problem in the end but wasted 1 hour on the phone to 'tech support'.

    There has been recent tropical cyclone, outage occurred here. I have a occasional internet interference not able to use wifi hope to see wifi improvements at Upper Nerang, for some reason New Street, Nerang Lower Nerang has this NBN Wifi, and Upport Nerang Business precint don't.

    ****** (@Yarrahbunjyil) reported

    @AlboMP And if Telstra were repairing lines in the bush instead of letting them rot while they "roll-out the NBN", I might even take advantage of it. But they're not, so the Service Agreement isn't being honoured, the TIO won't do anything, & no one gives a damn. So thanks for nothing!

  • R0LAN65

    Calls me up before coming "SO IF UR INTERNET WORKING WHY BOOK THIS APPT?!" Like okay maybe if u read all the damn reports from the ISP and prev NBN tech maybe??? U think I know what needs to be done ??? I just want my internet to work properly without having to call ISP up daily

    @NBN_Australia Why has there been 5 outages in the span of 3 weeks at my address? One planned outage followed by 4 unplanned. Getting beyond a joke now.

  • AJG71
    RoverDownUnder (@AJG71) reported

    @Adam_Creighton @DrCameronMurray This is what happens when you outsource what should be a government service to the private sector. Profit motive kicks in as do rorts & fraud. Also see the Unemployment Services, Housing, NBN etc. It isn't the scheme itself, it's the people who run it.

    @kni36182404 Hi Mike, can you please send us a direct message to confirm if it is the service address or billing address? Also confirm which service is the contract for, I mean mobile or NBN home internet? Kartik
