    @Telstra Me and several other people I know are currently experiencing issues with Telstra wifi (NBN). Our internet speeds have drastically lowered, we are currently very upset. Please look into the dm I have sent you for further information, I hope this issue can be fixed soon.

  • Cazoperadag Carolyn Wright (@Cazoperadag) reported

    @NBN_Australia No lights on the NBN box. (Told them 3 times) It’s dead and cold. But Telstra has put me back in the wait last 9 1/2 hours since I started this complaint. It’s a thriller - will they tell me the next step? Stay tuned...

  • simwest7 SIMSATIØNAL SZN 💋 (@simwest7) reported

    had a mini tantrum about us getting nbn today that doesn't even work and then turned out google was just down for half an hour lol backing away slowly

  • mat5mann matmann (@mat5mann) reported

    Fking @NBN_Australia 5 days of little to no internet. **** house

  • studioprisoner Studioprisoner 🌪✨ (@studioprisoner) reported

    @filmgirl152 Ok. Id say there could be something on nbn side causing these dropouts. Aussie BB are a great company. And it dropouts is most likely caused by hardware or issues within the infrastructure (if it’s not fibre)

  • BrendanShephard Brendan Shephard (@BrendanShephard) reported

    I was ready to blame NBN Co's abominal excuse for a network again. But in actual fact, YouTube is indeed down. #YouTubeDOWN

  • _TimMcMahon Tim McMahon (@_TimMcMahon) reported

    @frankarr "Dec 12, 21:03 AEDT Monitoring - nbn network engineers have restored an index file that is showing positive results in testing and monitoring. Modems that were previously having connection issues to the network are now connecting and are remaining stable. nbn..."

  • TheyreGunnaPod They're Gunna Kill Us (@TheyreGunnaPod) reported

    Had follow up conversations via Twitter DMs w @telstra and @NBN today. Still waiting for contact from NBN Health and Safety team. Got referred to some extra level support at Telstra by Angela and talking rn w tech support.

  • Picketer Tim Lyons (@Picketer) reported

    Not having a go at him, but wine, even cheap wine, is still a much more valuable commodity than we waste water on in the MDB. (Also your regular reminder that Malcolm Turnbull ****** up the MDB plan just as bad as he did the NBN.)

  • Jim00171324 Jim (@Jim00171324) reported

    @NBN_Australia so my connection just went down. Rang my service provider and am told NBN maintenance until 7pm. I am working from home like half of the country. Why was no information provided? When can I expect to be online again. Calwell ACT.

  • jimmyjack72 WEAR-A-MASK (@jimmyjack72) reported

    @NBN_Australia outage page says no outage. It must be psychological? Or mass hysteria? Whatever it is My wife and I can’t log into work VPNs.

  • TheSaltminer Stone Ocean When (@TheSaltminer) reported

    @fubarduck This sounds an awful lot like Australia's much-reviled NBN network. Was originally Fiber To The Premises rolled out nationally, until a change in government saw it become Fiber To The Weird New Box On Every Street Corner Then Half Rotted Copper Wire The Rest Of The Way.

  • jimmyjack72 WEAR-A-MASK (@jimmyjack72) reported

    @NBN_Australia or @TPG_Telecom what’s happening in Preston and Thornbury Victoria? Days of patchy service and this morning nothing!?!

  • eezywerns Ian Werner (@eezywerns) reported

    @davidbewart That sounds dangerous to me. Leo ****** would unload her so he can look relevant. He ****** up the NBN and he gave Ita a please explain. Apart from that, **** all.

  • SpaceKidette Space Kidette 🚀 (@SpaceKidette) reported

    So much for the #NBN being better and faster. That piece of **** LNP solution has been down more times in the last 3 wks than over the previous 11 yrs on ADSL. Yesterday, it was down for almost 24 hours! The #LNP couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery!

  • jimmyjack72 WEAR-A-MASK (@jimmyjack72) reported

    @TPG_Telecom hello! @NBN_Australia reports no outages in my area Preston Victoria, but I have no internet and have had deteriorating service for days! Help!

  • stu_watches stu (@stu_watches) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    So disappointed with @TPG_Telecom. I’ve been a customer for ten years and can’t believe how shabby their customer service has gotten. Guess it’s off to @Optus for our NBN needs

  • D_Keating Merry Keat-mas! (@D_Keating) reported

    @AUSFestivus Kinda sounds like our shenanigans last month with FTTN. Most of the ‘NBN Techs’ are just contractors. They just get appointments with no case notes. Even they have issues discussing with NBN and getting changes through. Amd the handover from Telstra has been *bad*.

  • Cazoperadag Carolyn Wright (@Cazoperadag) reported

    @Telstra I think I am in backup mode. I have a slow, basic internet connection but no phone. No outages, no problems after check on speed etc. The NBN box has no signs of life. Tbh I’m worn down by the whole thing. I need to speak to a person.

  • psg_au Peter (@psg_au) reported

    @ScottMorrisonMP @LNPQLD Good, hopefully he can help you get the NBN back on track. It is a very very expensive, pointless White Elephant as it is.....

  • Cazoperadag Carolyn Wright (@Cazoperadag) reported

    @Telstra I’ve done all the turn off, take out plug, re- plug stuff. No lights. There aren’t more suggestions on your link. I raised a fault case at 10.04 this morning. I keep getting put back to the ‘we’re very busy’ message and can’t get a resolution. I think I need a new NBN box.

  • twodogsgaming Timothy Hanlon (@twodogsgaming) reported

    @danielcairns @NBN_Australia @iiNet That sucks man. I'm with Internode and when I moved a few days ago found our service dropped out frequently, like every hour or more. NBN were out within 24 hours and normal service has since been restored. Kinda feeling lucky it was as easy a fix as it was.

  • Slugasi Honorable Odin 👁 (@Slugasi) reported

    @NBN_Australia Impossible you kidding? Don’t mean to be rude even if I got that far to speak to someone they would pacify me being a no body cmon Sarah the world don’t work that way you know that. Your very kind to respond though thank you. Merry Christmas 🎅🏻🎅🏻

  • SanvyS Sanvy (@SanvyS) reported

    @filmgirl152 @Aussie_BB @NBN_Australia I'm with Aussie, for cost reasons and stability I'll be churning to Superloop. I had stability issues in the past but it has moved to price and stability issues. There are apps that will record uptime, but tbh if you are not satisfied just move.

  • Cazoperadag Carolyn Wright (@Cazoperadag) reported

    @Telstra No outages when I checked yesterday. I think my NBN box is dead, but I have been dumped off the text helpline four times now. It’s almost 12 hours now since I began reporting my problem and I’ll have to start again tomorrow. I’ll try to phone as I’m getting rather frustrated now.

  • Cazoperadag Carolyn Wright (@Cazoperadag) reported

    @NBN_Australia Hmm. Third person now online saying they will help, but has been silent for 15 mins since saying so. Began my efforts at 10.04 am. Still going at 7 pm and am worse off. No landline now. Couldn’t say I am happy. No progress past turn it off and on again, which I did yesterday.

  • PerthGas Gerry Prewett (@PerthGas) reported

    @PrincessMattie1 Yes using my iPhone as my NBN fibre to the home is so slow!

  • Clockdistrict Clockdistrict (@Clockdistrict) reported

    @filmgirl152 @Aussie_BB @NBN_Australia Could be a line issue, might not be ABB's fault

  • thematchless2 thematchless (@thematchless2) reported

    @Telstra Instead of stealing tweets, perhaps you could help with my NBN?

  • Destructicus54 Gojira destructor (@Destructicus54) reported

    Thanks for cheaping out on the NBN, Aussie government. We've had the internet go out for as much as seven hours over the past three days because of the watered-down bullshit you gave us. Remember: our government is run by con-men.
