    @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.

    @Optus we were on the phone to OPTUS for THREE HOURS to some operator in India, we just wanted to move to a faster NBN plan, and they could not migrate our old account over. NIGHTMARE and Optus are outsourcing their support to useless people in India

    .@Telstra You know, it would be great if people would be notified of NBN work and interruptions at least BEFORE the internet is no longer working! I got a notification AFTER the service was restored!

    @DodoAustralia how long is the NBN outage in Newcastle East expected to last?

    @Telstra will Telstra or NBN compensate us for the trouble? your mobile network back up is not working. i have a work to do and can’t do anything because of my internet.

    @bluewavedream That is a stupid observation - NBN owned by Australia, Starlink owned by Elon Musk and his whims and dictator like behaviour.

    Just spent 1.5hrs with my ISP figuring out why my NBN had died. He (from Indian, a nice chap) put me through hoops & then said that the NBN box is faulty but can't get a tech out till next Tue. Then a light bulb moment hit me & said, what if I look at the metre box - sure enough, something had tripped the circuit in the room the NBN is hooked up to. I just didn't need the added stress. Then he had the hide to ask me to 'rate his service'. Yeah - nah!

    @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.

    4/ Documentation gaps. Missing clearances from Sydney Water, Ausgrid, or NBN. Errors in the Section 88B instrument. A subdivision plan that doesn't meet Registrar General's Guidelines. Each gap adds weeks. A requisitioned plan resets the registration clock entirely.

    @markhumooney @SkyNewsAust BS. There is no need for this service in 2026. Phones, emergency text systems, NBN

    @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.

    @ruicharadrius lol do you live in the middle of nowhere or something? NBN is fairly quick in most places. I get 250 down, 50 up for a decent amount for a decent amount and no downtime.

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

    Now almost 5 hours into NBN being out for an unknown reason... Pretty pathetic tbh As such videos of Trade Targets and Team Reveals might be slow and late getting out

    @cheynejfishing @bluewavedream I expect starlink may be better than the stupid 4G modems that the NBN was giving to farmers out in the wopps But for anyone who needs reliable, fast connection or a static IP to host some server or service... Fibre or VDSL is the only way to go

    @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.

    @Cam_M_Caldwell The coalition is the ones that got us in this mess by closing down the refineries. Dont play the hero card because you once could be the villain. Thanks for ruining the nbn rollout and making it cost 4 x the price. *********.

    **** useless NBN installer couldn't even keep a 4 hour appointment window and then cancelled the install, making us wait another 9 days before they get their **** together and just ******* connect the service I've paid for. #NBN

    You know how it goes. Labor outs in place big reforms, Libs get in and **** up the process. Just like NBN and copper. NDISS they let loose free enterprise rip offs.. You always vote with libs so……..

    @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 😡

    @DesignedToFade Hi Feliz, during an unplanned outage on the nbn network we keep your service provider up to date on all available updates like estimated restoration times and details of what's being done to fix the outage itself. As soon as we have any updates, we'll let your RSP know. 1/2

    @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

    A Direct result of the ALP gutting of the NBN. And they wonder why I'd never vote for them. Still on the same HFC I was on 10 years BEFORE the NBN. Now I get multiple dropouts a month due entirely to infrastructure that should have been fibre for YEARS.

    @NBN_Australia It always does this. I shouldn't have to use a different device. I work in IT and have tried it on 46 laptops and 23 phones. Literally went into the pit on the street and took out all the NBN cabling as the NBN never works so Im now im with another company and couldnt be happier

    @bluewavedream Starlink is 1 provider NBN lets me choose any provider The government should not give a private company a monopoly on internet service

    @ThomTommyTomtom @pcet2022 @Leo_Puglisi6 Clearly you've never studied economics. If you're citing NDIS, NBN, and AusPost as successes, you don't know what success is. The duopoly and the Grns are complicit in the big govt bloat, big govt is the antithesis of creativity and productivity; pillars of successful societies
