    @_Allan_Bernabe_ Wala yan sa Lola ko. My Lola got away with NBN-ZTE deal, fertilizer scam, election cheating, Malampaya scam, and more scams we would never find out.

  • JimPine8 Jim Pine (@JimPine8) reported

    OMG whinger of the week @marklevy2gb @2GB873 , complaining about his internet being down for 6 days. You ring your isp not the NBN, Belong is a budget ISP don't expect rolls Royce support, if your modem was dead, buy a new one. Need it for work get a business plan or 4g back up.

  • Bumflufftornado bumflufftornado (@Bumflufftornado) reported

    @james_neko @Telstra Yeah i don't mind paying if something is clearly my fault but i don't like the threat of having to pay for a tech when I've already ruled out "my equipment". The only equipment is the telstra router and the nbn box, and the issue still occurs with a dif router.

  • RebeccaHuntley2 Rebecca Huntley (@RebeccaHuntley2) reported

    @NBN_Australia Yep yet another @Optus screw up in a long line of screw ups over the last 6 months ... just decided to cut me off the NBN without reason or warning ... currently on hold with the worst on hold music ever invented do they can reconnect me ...

  • Tazhys Tazhys (@Tazhys) reported

    @DodoAustralia your customer service is literal trash for NSW. I have a friend who’s had no working NBN from you guys and you REFUSE to help them, and not only you guys refused, but you called the cops on them because they god mad and threatened to leave you for another company.

  • Anybody2U Albert Clownstein (@Anybody2U) reported

    @LTLICKME @NBN_Australia Damn better hope no one trips over that wire or something. Would be bad for the people who didn’t come bury it like it’s supposed to be.

  • JoshRobinson_00 💙❤️💛Josh Robinson 🇦🇺🏳️‍🌈 (@JoshRobinson_00) reported

    @NBN_Australia fix this bs

  • 69chesta Lesta Chesta (@69chesta) reported

    @SwoopLuke @Optus Your network status page is as useless as the call center puppets, no nbn in punchbowl nsw for last 2hrs but callcenter cant see if any outages

  • ButterflyWheel Butterfly Wheel (@ButterflyWheel) reported

    @NBN_Australia FTTP or ****. Stop blame shifting and "oh nah, that's cos your 10 KMs away from the distribution" Do you guys know what option fibre is? It's light...how have you managed to slow down light speed ...only in Australia.

  • coburn64 Coburn 🔞🇦🇺 (@coburn64) reported

    Doing a factory reset of my NBN Fixed Wireless box (unplug it for 30 minutes, then replug). If that doesn't work, gonna have to get AussieBB to investigate. Red status light and poor performance again. Would go Starlink but I need static IP and parents use AussieBB VoIP.

  • ProxiBlue Lucas_van_Staden.phtml (@ProxiBlue) reported

    @NBN_Australia They just reset the line, and it comes back up, and deemed fixed. No 'fault' is ever found. The fact of the matter is that when it rains, my link goes down, and it has been an ongoing issue now for years.

  • bighats61 Bighats (@bighats61) reported

    @TurnbullMalcolm How can you comment on how something will perform or be serviced into the future...NBN is still not completed and has continuous problems!

  • dunxcorp Dutch (@dunxcorp) reported

    @NBN_Australia STOP! Read the comment. The provider is NOT the problem. NBN in the contract state you throttle back VPN traffic.

  • psekfy Paul Sekfy (@psekfy) reported

    @colonelhogans They always promise to fix them. Little wonder this is the longer term outcome of their privatization of Telstra and stuff up of the NBN. Pathetic and laughable. #auspol

  • BelongAU Belong (@BelongAU) reported

    @JamesyR1 Hi there, sorry for the run around. You can add a nbn service to your mobile account via our website. Please login into your account, select add a service and follow the steps. Please note nbn will be billed separately. Please let us know if you need a hand -Rhys

  • dunxcorp Dutch (@dunxcorp) reported

    @NBN_Australia My service is fine. EXCEPT when NBN throttles back speeds solely due to me using a VPN. It's you not me or the provider.

  • ErynnReai_FFXIV 🇦🇺 Erynn【Box of Pointless Holes】🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 (@ErynnReai_FFXIV) reported

    In Australia, our bread has more fibre than our internet. NBN has an outage in my area again. No FFXIV for me, today >_>

  • Mahou_VT Mahou 🧪🎀 Alchemist V-Tuber (@Mahou_VT) reported

    @Bumflufftornado @Telstra Can you call NBN and get them to check the connection stability on their end? Otherwise i recommend TPG :)

  • VoxDei1960 VoxDei (@VoxDei1960) reported

    @SkyNewsAust There's not even a requirement for them to provide NBN service at the agreed levels. It's a disgrace.

  • 8__JL__8 JGo (@8__JL__8) reported

    @NBN_Australia No. When I left nbn I made a formal complaint against two individuals in the data space. You did nothing. You ignored my request for a follow up. It was only AFTER these two individuals left you then wanted me to sign non-disclosure agreements to conduct...

  • nellesmi1920 Ellen Smith (@nellesmi1920) reported

    @colonelhogans His mob sold off Telstra,tried to justify it with a Universal Service obligation which wasn't worth the paper it was written on, they also f***ked up NBN..Littletobeproudof indeed

  • fullspidey LOL (@fullspidey) reported

    Aus nbn brings out the worst in me

  • NBN_Australia nbn® Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @LTLICKME Hi LT. nbn is a wholesaler, we do not directly charge or supply you with a service, or have access to your account details, which is why we refer you to your provider to discuss any charges and reimbursement. Thanks, April

  • ActoCanobar Acto Canobar (@ActoCanobar) reported

    @D_LittleproudMP Weren't you in government for 9 years, why didn't you do anything. Mind you, having watched the **** up you made of the NBN I reckon you'd have ballsed up the mobile network too.

  • phazzles OnlyPhazz (@phazzles) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Another day, another nbn outage

  • trandel Trent Randel - Director ADAG (@trandel) reported

    @YaThinkN He’s a yes man, always has been. Telecom had out of date tech and the govt didn’t want to invest in fixing it hence the Keating plan. Rudd ignored the experts when rolling out the NBN which would’ve fixed many of those issues. Turnbull then went about making it worse.

  • FreezeSPreston 🗑️🔥 (@FreezeSPreston) reported

    Supposed to have FTTP installed today on @NBN_Australia's third visit to the premises. They keep turning up and say they need to put it off. Today he mumbled something about conduit and took off. *******, how do these people have jobs at this level of incompetence?

  • Ellen28900 Ellen (@Ellen28900) reported

    @TelstraAU As a current NBN customer, why am I told I have to wait 7-10 days to be connected at my new property in a 10 yo building because Telstra hasn't an ID for my apartment and needs a 'feedback form' and to verify it? Is this the Wild West?

  • CraigHTrimble Craig Henry Trimble (@CraigHTrimble) reported

    @colonelhogans Guess what David, most of Regional Australia has **** mobile coverage & **** NBN & **** health & **** roads. Yet they still vote for your shrill policy analysis & strategy of do nothing to fix it, and allowing the market to price gouge. You get what you vote for fuckwits!

  • YaThinkN Noely ⚡️🏐 (@YaThinkN) reported

    @trandel nbn is a whole other issue. Even when they looked at addressing out-dated tech & infrastructure, bloody Conroy left that hanging and went off on his bullshit 'censor the interwebz' focus, leaving it wide open to be screwed over further by Turnbull.
