melie doyle (@MelieDoyle) reported@TrilogyOfSeven @Starlink Short range wifi from NBN used to be a lot better than satellites… but a 7G booster? What the heck are they pushing that for? When people finally understand, a lot of companies are gonna go bust because they won’t be able to pay out all the claims. Direct to phone satellites, which if done right, can be done on 90 satellites, is better, but nobody is using it well. Regular satellites are unsafe, and don’t work… that’s why they need thousands of satellites. In 2011, hundreds of medical scientists petitioned the UN asking them to halt the roll out of 5G. The original documents, which I read, and are now hard to find, stated that such frequencies disrupt our nervous system, our neurological system, and damage DNA. They shared all the science. They also shared predictions based on what would happen if they moved forward. Many humans have been lost since 2019, as well as birds and insects. Independent studies show how many insects we have lost, not to mention that everyone talks about the fact that there are no bugs on their windshield anymore. Resonant frequencies inflame cells, and fry neural pathways. Insects have a more fragile system, which is why they are dropping first. The UN did pause in 2011, but by 2019, billionaires had paid the UN to state that it was all about the risk of heat burns, and they decided it wasn’t an issue. Since then, the scientists keep petitioning the UN, but the UN is bought and paid for. 😑 they aren’t doing anything to stop it.

Blake Harris (@Blakestar27) reported@NBN_Australia idk if this is an NBN issue or my ISP issue but since about Tuesday my internet witch has FTTP all of the sudden became slow and I can’t even look up anything sometimes and my internet hasn’t been like that since I got FTTP.
-
A guy down under (@Fremean) reported@Fil_S69 @bluewavedream Except you're wrong, wireless is a shared medium, the more people on it the slower it goes. Before you lot were all "5g will be better than nbn" but now if you go anywhere a lot of people have phones (fireworks/games)... hows your service?
-
Spicy Ice (@SpicyIce7) reported@SolarisFR @The_Bloooop I appreciate the offer but unfortunately I live in Australia who has this magical thing called nbn that controls the internet. Unfortunately nbn r about as useful as dog **** amd i have had no internet for 5 months and likely womt have internet for another 2 at minimum

Billyy (@Billyy39678102) reported@CatherineD42535 @VDejan0000 ******* stupid question. Of course we should. Nbn, snowy hydro and reduction in hecs debts. All wasted money. Let’s have a government oil and gas company and refineries. Owned for the people. Economic ideology has failed the Australian people. Time to be pragmatic.
-
Nirgal451 🇦🇺🇺🇦 (@Nirgal451) reportedYour regular reminder: Snowy Hydro 2.0 was a stupid captain's pick by Malcolm Turnbull. Much like the NBN and Inland Rail. There were and are much better pumped hydro storage options. NSW did a whole investigation.
-
Donald smith (@Donalds25647148) reported@bluewavedream Simplistic and childlike. Starlink is just a service with costs comparable to Australia's first tier. NBN is Australian owned infrastructure. Not 12 Million. 515 Million per year. Every year. And still own nothing. Your definition of 'stupid' is...?
-
Ryan Emery (@ryanremery) reportedSo the FTTN service that had been supposedly canceled is now working. @VodafoneAU claimed it was my modem. I'm using that same modem/router connected to the NBN fibre optic. Either it's a miracle or something broken got fixed.
-
📣 Gr8🥐 (@R0LAN65) reportedCalls 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
-
Kit (@KitCarnage) reportedA little make up stream before the planned NBN outage? What could go wrong?
-
Bodgie Steve (@BodgieSteve) reported@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.
-
Maarten 1947 *One Man's Opinion. (@Maarten1947) reported@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!
-
Rob Khouri (@Robkhouri) reported@SimonBanksHB Original cost of NBN $4b. Original cost of NDIS $13b. Who's the joke? Original cost of net zero? Who ******* knows, they never told us! ********!
-
DBMG 🇦🇺 (@dbmgreen) reported@james00000001 NBN 50000km of new copper wire $.7bil Now Telstra/NBN have to retrofit secure pits to stop people stealing the copper. Not a problem with all fibre. The LNP completely screwed AUS all the while paying their mates millions to manage it. #industrialisedcorruption
-
Russell Drysdale :#IStandWithAlbo (@Russputin2) reported@Qldaah If only Media Militia had gone Full Fibre to the cesspit, instead of opting for snail paced Copper NBN, they'd know that "discovery" was only a new find, mid last century & rejected as unviable, of poor quality & limited in supply.

Zack Brown (@ZackBro74245761) reported@RobToThheOz @over9000AU @AvidCommentator Making them good for top ups not but as a primarily fuel source. Two, VPP has never been tried at a city scale and would require a lot of new telecommunications infrastructure to implemented ie. we would have to implement a proper NBN rollout of some sort.
-
jethro4445 🦉 (@cornhuskerj) reportedAnd email that the order has been completed. My nbn service including phone went dead. After 90m on phone with @Telstra, I finally got back internet via their 5g sim in the modem. I was furious when told cable nbn and phone wouldn’t be be restored for a week.
-
D_Shaw84 (@Shawzus84) reported@DrunkAt12 @OMGTheMess LOL nbn was required. Dont ******* mention starlink, the latency is far higher and hardwired fiber network is far more reliable.
-
💧☘️Rhona - Bluesky: rhonae (@bensab3) reported@james00000001 Yes, and another good reference would be the NBN! Oh, Gonski,NDIS 1 Labor introduces excellent policies to assist, costed7designed - lies&falseScareCampaigns getCoalition elected&immediately they tear down/interfere &alter, to point the policy fails and they happily blame Labor
-
Loftwah (@loftwah) reportedWe 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
-
JAY ☘️☘️☘️ (@jotepPdT) reported@status_is_down @VodafoneAU mobile network is always very weak along Parish Street and Harvest Street in Elara Marsden Park. Now NBN is also down in MP, and Vodafone is very unreliable.
-
peter rowe (@Prowerock1) reported@Mark_Graph Goodness. A long and extremely expensive list. Re NBN, just threw out my NBN router and got a 5G router instead. NBN is awful not just faults but the fact that you can’t deal with them direct to fix those faults. Disconnect between Telcos and NBN is a structural flaw.
-
Millicent Bystander (@trickyidnego) reportedI look at this guy and all I see is rorted ****** internet. We have such poor leaders in Australia that they cant even recognise how basic, how integral, stuff like the nbn is to Australia. Still fixing yr mistakes, so stfu
-
Hydra Boom (@HydraBoom) reported@Telstra No outages, just the pathetic mobile coverage that is our only back up for nbn. Keep putting your cgarges up and the service keeps declining. You know about this problem, its been reported multiple times, fix the tower already.
-
Loza (@Loza7691) reported@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 😡
-
🌸 Rita Gee ♥ 🇦🇺 (@Riogallica) reported@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'.
-
Jotham Smith (@JothamSmith) reported@NBN_Australia where is the update or information about the Major outage affecting the lower North of Sydney? As per the Telecommunications (Customer Communications for Outages) Industry Standard 2024 published on the NBN webpage.
-
Jay Jay (@JayJay1094727) reported@deniseshrivell 5G modem has never worked better. I then found out they tried the same thing with my dad and he fell for their reasons. He has an old computer that doesn’t even reach the speeds the NBN plan they put him on can reach. Boo Optus Boo iiNet!

gordon malcolmson /malky🍀🇮🇪🏴🇵🇸💚 (@gordonmalcolms3) reported@racingblogger Terrible ride by NBN😒🐎🍀🇮🇪

Vic (@ImVicLoLagain) reported@mrru5s3ll @LCHF_Matt @pikkkkaro yes I understand ,he seems to think I don't know there's a difference between wifi and NBN but my only contention is he seems to think we have great wifi but **** NBN and I think the inverse. somewhere this communication got lost lmao
