    @TheMajorShow I mean a get 900 down on my nbn, but that upload is insane

  • Alicia_Clare Alicia Pearce (@Alicia_Clare) reported

    48 hours into an unexplained NBN outage and I’m having hallucinatory fantasies about what next big tweet I’ve missed the meme cycle for

  • MichaelACT123 Michael O'Rourke (@MichaelACT123) reported

    @TonyHWindsor NBN [optic fibre internet] needed reform because it was a government monopoly. Unnatural monopolies are synonymous with bad service. (Not to say that the LNP government chose the right way to reform it.)

  • SavilleTech Saville Tech Media (@SavilleTech) reported

    Just sent my clients phone company an invoice for my time, parts and labour because their offshore Helpdesk is useless!!! Quickest @NBN_Australia tech appointment booked ever! It shouldn’t be this hard to get **** fixed #epicfail

  • Johan_vanZyl_ZA Johan van Zyl (@Johan_vanZyl_ZA) reported

    @elonmusk any site I could look at to determine speeds for Starlink in Sydney. I am looking to rent in a suburb where NBN is very slow and 5g rollout still way off. So was thinking of going with this option. I cannot afford not to have slow internet as my work relies on it.

  • fiona_gumboots Fiona Gumboots 🍃 (@fiona_gumboots) reported

    @bencourtice Nbn is ****. I want my adsl 2 back.

  • an_untamed VaxxedVixen left rusted on loose unit sewer🐁 (@an_untamed) reported

    Scammers are getting really cheeky. Just got the 10th call from NBN (I just hang up) saying they were going to upgrade my box (😳). Gave me a phone number 1800687626 and said a tech called Olivia Johnson would replace it. Also, I'd be receiving a box in the post in the 1/2

  • PaulieVerity Paul Verity 🌺 (@PaulieVerity) reported

    @TonyHWindsor The big issue of NBN ie faster internet, split the nation? Really? A take like that is probably why you are no longer relevant. It's a really bad take.

  • shanelord Shane (@shanelord) reported

    Hi @NBN_Australia & @Aussie_BB the team are running fibre down our street today (1st August 2022). How long until I can schedule my gigabit connection to be installed?

  • belleybun belley (@belleybun) reported

    no asol hot fix 🤝 nbn maintenance week 🤝 red carpet val

  • Davejeffery22 Dave Jeffery (@Davejeffery22) reported

    @TonyHWindsor The NBN was a Labor failure right from the word go. It's a definite warning that they should never be given the chance with the electricity grid. Imagine the solar farms we could have made from Rudd/Gillard starting panel and battery manufacturing back then?

  • for_nithing vince (@for_nithing) reported

    @TonyHWindsor What's meant by opposition? Dr NO, the mad monk, by denying everything then he got what he wanted and became the worst PM of Australia. NBN at then and now the climate change, why not.

  • Teexmachine TK (@Teexmachine) reported

    @OptusSport Not sure if my optus nbn service could handle higher definition

  • stirlospace 𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚛𝚕𝚘.𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚌e (@stirlospace) reported

    @infinitereality @commonwealthsec They have better than our @NBN_Australia for real it’s good!! Waaayyy better than ours lol tho power is still an issue much like 🇿🇦 “cant believe you guys have worse internet than us!” *power cuts out* MOTHERF

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @pookyparty Sorry to hear about your internet connection issue. Can you please direct message us to confirm which internet service is this in regards to, I mean 4G home internet, 5G home internet or NBN home internet? Kartik

  • TLangle49256185 The Enforcer 227 (@TLangle49256185) reported

    @TonyHWindsor Go back to bed grandpa TELSTRA offered an Australia wide internet network for $4 billion This was rejected and you, Conroy, Rudd + Gillard!!! And then you created the NBN, at a cost to the tax payer for $50 billion. And now it’s a white elephant, as 5G, is superior to it!

  • EMacskasy Evan King-Macskasy - Proud Cave Dweller (@EMacskasy) reported

    Patting myself on the back here whilst my wife looked at me in awe. 10 minutes earlier: Can't get netflix. Streaming has been slowing down for days now, and tonight - nothing. I rebooted both the NBN Router and the Modem. Everything fixed. I commented to my wife that this

  • Fishman_Dan Daniel Cohen (@Fishman_Dan) reported

    @MichaelACT123 @TonyHWindsor Pretty poor take. We were taken down a path of hybrid fibre/co-ax that meant Foxtel earned a dollar providing a faux NBN to Foxtel/Telstra customers that was riddled with faults. The network could not function close to its potential. Now don’t start me on “Fixed Wireless”.

  • RuarkLewis ruark lewis (@RuarkLewis) reported

    @MichaelACT123 @TonyHWindsor It never emerged as a monopolistic business. NBN was stillborn from start. Such government initiatives cannot be simply defined. Also such enterprises evolve over time. Turnbull was a corporate wrecker. He did that kind of thing to appease his wife’s aristocratic aspiration

  • LordThexan 🏀Dan Hughes🏳️‍🌈 (@LordThexan) reported

    @TonyHWindsor @deniseshrivell I seem to remember you making the NBN financially unviable by demanding small country areas be the first reducing the initial customer base and allowing the LNP to attack the profitability of the NBN. Those in glass houses...

  • gusworldau Angus Kidman (@gusworldau) reported

    What's more annoying that one scheduled NBN outage in a week? Two scheduled NBN outages in a week. Remaking some plans.

  • bencourtice Ben Courtice (@bencourtice) reported

    Hooray, the home internet dropped out again. Is it the router? Is it the NBN box? Is it my computer? Is it the local node or whatever I connect to? I am going to blame Malcolm Turnbull, that may not assist in fixing the problem but at least I know it's ultimately correct.

  • iibnf iibnf (@iibnf) reported

    No internet for a while, phoned #iinet to see what's up. Spoke to a nice tech called Ishmahill (maybe?) and he worked out that I have been a customer of #iinet longer than he has been alive. (Powers back on now, was NBN's fault). I'm so freakin' old...

  • mezla Matt (@mezla) reported

    @trivialal Holy crap, really!?! That's amazing! Most of my time at nbn has been as a contractor. I've just taken an entire week off with covid, and now my sick leave balance is down to 20hrs :(

  • PeterLuxmore Peter Luxmore (@PeterLuxmore) reported

    @david_boxall @TonyHWindsor The Australian taxpayer has coughed up about $60 billion to build the NBN network and still counting. Plus they have to pay for their Internet connection through retailers

  • llament 💧💧 Llewellyn Griffiths (@llament) reported

    I just I had a phone call from an (02) number. The caller claimed to be from @NBN_Australia & stated that my ADSL service was going to be disconnected and I needed to apply for an #NBN service. The reality is that I've had an #NBN service for some years & @Optus Internet account

  • AaronDodd Aaron Dodd - The nightmare is over. (@AaronDodd) reported

    @NatColeman28 @Channel7 Exactly its ****. And I have a really fast NBN connection so they can't blame that.

  • Rorymf Rory Fitzpatrick (@Rorymf) reported

    @TonyHWindsor On the NBN, if it wasn’t for MTM we wouldn’t have had anywhere as near an operational network, which enabled mass at home working during the pandemic

  • PplJustLikeUs People Just Like Us (@PplJustLikeUs) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @landrights4all @JulianCribb @spenderallegra Fix the NBN for a start & make vibey regional centres a real option

  • Davejeffery22 Dave Jeffery (@Davejeffery22) reported

    @TonyHWindsor No Labor failed the NBN and now they are going to do the same thing with renewable energy. Labor divide us to get something then they divide us with blame for what they never get right.
