  • Scott17492432 Scott (@Scott17492432) reported

    @jriewolod @Telstra The experience get Telstra to connect NBN to my elderly mothers premises was nothing short of appalling. It literally took months of broken promises and technician appointments that failed to turn up. Telstra is a disgrace that prioritises profits over people

  • NBN_Australia nbn™ Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @Scott17492432 Hi Scott, it's a shame that it took those measures. nbn does not have a chat/bot system, as service issues are usually managed by the provider. If, however, a customer is medically vulnerable or experiences a health and safety issue, 1/2

  • AnnettaMallon Annetta Mallon 💉💉 (@AnnettaMallon) reported

    Sitting in a TAS Library using a hotspot because @Optus phone AND internet not working at home. None. Huge disruption to my business and professional capacities, angry and unimpressed. In 2021 why is stable, fast, consistent internet unavailable? #auspol #NBN #internetshutdown 1/

  • jbthinking John Ball (@jbthinking) reported

    A few hours later I was told the service had been cancelled and my installation date was now "impossible". On the process front, as the charge would never be payable, why would my order be cancelled? My work requires Internet, esp. w/lockdown. Is this right @NBN_Australia ?

  • MeckeringBoy 💧Michael Dowling - 2x AZ💉💉Be the change!🌏❤️ (@MeckeringBoy) reported

    USA has lots of crazies but they’re not alone. Morrison Abbott et al would never have been able to come to power if not for Murdoch media support propagandising endlessly for them, undermining Labor, running misinformation campaigns on climate change, carbon tax, pink batts, nbn.

  • pony_node Node Pony (@pony_node) reported

    @CJPomfret @Telstra Yes, exactly. I think they do when they want you off old plans they no longer want you to have anymore. My NBN provider rang me after I signed up, as I had chosen a speed that my line would never achieve (50/20) downgraded free of charge.

  • JoshuaWithers Josh Withers (@JoshuaWithers) reported

    @decryption My last three moves have involved me getting ahead of the problem and communicating to real estate to communicate to tenant that the NBN-logo’d box has to stay. All three times there’s been friction.

  • richardmonty7 Richard Montgomery (@richardmonty7) reported

    @Telstra - yep good ol regional services fail again. Lost landline a week ago - which drives our ADSL as NIL NBN - partner PhD submission due today and I am trying to support isn’t working remotely. Of course, nil service response. Thanks Telstra!

  • adammalone Adam Malone (@adammalone) reported

    @NBN_Australia Imagine taking support inquiries on Twitter to prevent venting from being publicly surfaced. Just imagine.

  • kinkypigLDN KinkyPigLDN (+18) (@kinkypigLDN) reported

    I am so sad SBN & NBN have been moved inside a sauna, the whole charm of those events was the feeling of the place, the dark and the walls and the different areas…sauna is just a different vibe and it sucks compared to what it used to be. @jamiehpevents WHY?

  • SunJon_67 💉Brett Jones💉 (@SunJon_67) reported

    @davidbewart It's a joke. Remember when Turnbull couldn't get the NBN running so they made him Prime Minister. Remember when Dan was having trouble getting on top of covid, he copped a heap of abuse, now that NSW is getting 500 cases a day more.....nothing. Sick of this hypocrisy

  • jbthinking John Ball (@jbthinking) reported

    The charge would never be payable as it was for additional infrastructure. The owners have since moved out, and there are 2 unused nbn services. The question is why the service cannot be turned back on for me, tomorrow, as agreed 3 weeks ago?

  • minhmelt minh (@minhmelt) reported

    @NBN_Australia LMAO no issues. he ended up working extra hours to help me out. give him a raise

  • SteamboatLion The Dread Space Pirate Roberts 🇺🇸🇦🇺🇱🇧🏴‍☠️ (@SteamboatLion) reported

    @TurnbullMalcolm Wish you were still PM, but you stuffed this one up with the shift to mixed technology. Idiot NBN ran NEW infrastructure my house in 2019. Not fibre, but HFC. Cable internet. I had that in Singapore in 2002.

  • fymjess jess (@fymjess) reported

    not the nbn service provider telling me our neighbour owes him alot of money from a job he did for him a while ago after fixing our net 😭😭

  • PaulLenkic Paul Lenkic (@PaulLenkic) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    Anybody else in the Moorabbin or Melbourne South East area having internet issues with their @Telstra nbn connection?

  • Roaldan1000 Bob F (@Roaldan1000) reported

    @TurnbullMalcolm And yet we are paying a speed bump to Telstra Velocity to get just over half the speed (sometimes) we pay for in the first place. Without it we get 1.8mbps. NBN never coming to Velocity areas because NBN says Velocity already provides the equivalent service. What a shambles.

  • JohnSte35797897 John Steele (@JohnSte35797897) reported

    NBN download and upload speed resp.: 5.48 and 2.83. Has been 50 down and 16 or so up. Prior to NBN: 100 up. Debacle.

  • adammalone Adam Malone (@adammalone) reported

    @beourmate @khingy @NBN_Australia Totally not your fault. We’re both just stuck in the middle of the **** sandwich between two slices of NBN bread.

  • jbthinking John Ball (@jbthinking) reported

    @NBN_Australia Thanks Alicia. To summarize, @NBN_Australia cannot help because we work with a retailer. @Telstra can't help, because they are constrained by the wholesaler/NBN leadtimes. But my order was cancelled unfairly without notice. If I reorder, delivery will be at the back of the queue.

  • sendai sendai (@sendai) reported

    @decryption A replacement from NBN can take days to arrive. I've a spare I managed to finangle that I lend to clients when theirs fail. The FW boxes are a lot more reliable, but not as reliable as the FttP boxes.

  • DavidJM55 DaveMan (@DavidJM55) reported

    @jriewolod @Telstra This is the same Telstra that kept charging us for the ADSL2 service that didn’t exist after NBN was connected. When we told them, they shut down our business account, instead of the residential one.

  • lylotic Lila (@lylotic) reported

    Telstra: we can keep your NBN speeds disregard that email Me: but I have an email saying you are slowing me down? Telstra: oh that email? Yeah we are slowing the speeds Except this took 40 minutes on hold to figure out.

  • jbthinking John Ball (@jbthinking) reported

    Hi @NBN_Australia I'm told by Telstra that my order was cancelled for our move on 1 September because I didn't want to pay for new hardware at the site where there are already NBN services. I'm checking if that's the process as I need Internet daily and the delay is bad for us.

  • adammalone Adam Malone (@adammalone) reported

    @khingy @NBN_Australia @beourmate It’s such a weird system. Getting this installed was a nightmare too - dealt with three parties there: ISP, NBN, 3rd party installer. All different companies, no comms between them, and me coordinating messages between. What the actual ****?

  • colintucker Colin Tucker (@colintucker) reported

    @TurnbullMalcolm "That investment will push more fibre into the network and bring fibre closer to more premises but doesn’t mean NBN Co is abandoning the MTM." Or, you know, we could have kept deploying FTTP in the first place, as they did in NZ, and as experts urged back in 2013.

  • AdeleKThomas Adele K Thomas 🦄 💉💉 (@AdeleKThomas) reported

    @Qldaah I do really hope they consider home quarantine for double vax peeps though. I really need to leave Vic to get to Qld, and can't come via air or hotel quarantine. Dog, car I can't afford to leave behind, job that needs continuous broadband/NBN for large file uploads...stupid NSW.

  • jbthinking John Ball (@jbthinking) reported

    The process was to order the replacement service at the house for settlement date. I was not allowed to order 6-months in advance. So I ordered 3 weeks in advance. There are 2 existing NBN services there, and when ordering from Telstra, although it took 2.5 hours to complete 1/2

  • joshjbarnett Josh Barnett (@joshjbarnett) reported

    @NBN_Australia I already tried that for the previous 4 outages in 17 working days, but with little luck. @Aussie_BB doesn't have access to historic outages apparently, so couldn't tell me much, apart from "network element...requires repair", hence the walk to the pit for the latest outage🚶

  • beourmate MATE (@beourmate) reported

    @adammalone @khingy @NBN_Australia Hi Adam, We certainly understand how frustrating this process is for you as a customer. We can assure you if we could, we would just send a new NCD out - unfortunately, nbn doesn't allow us to do this - we need to log a fault & an nbn technician will replace the device.
