    @NBN_Australia What a load of crap you're 3rd world nbn doesn't deliver enough nor stability to just watch basic Netflix.

  • velcrochicken12 Chickenoodle (@velcrochicken12) reported

    @NBN_Australia @michaelplis 3 months and waiting for you to sort out my speed issue due to line damage. Yeah good job.

  • raymond3020 Christopher Jarman (@raymond3020) reported

    @RobMax4 half our suburb is FTTH and the other (including us) recycled the foxtel/telstra HFC cable. Constant drop outs. Our ISP tested their line/connections and said the cable in the old telstra pit was giving low signal. NBN said all good (even though they didnt physically check it)

  • AboutaDirk Dirk ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ (@AboutaDirk) reported

    My internet (@NBN_Australia ) has been down for 3 consecutive days now Makes working from home MIGHTY expensive (have to use my 5g plan) More annoyingly; the 5G is clogged up too because everyone's now on that instead of NBN ARGH

  • allans2cents Allan Rogers (@allans2cents) reported

    @gjgray16 @Marlsclayfield @TruthdriverOn Then Abbott got in, slashed the spending Instead of world class NBN, we got this hybrid that never really worked Over next few years, many hundreds of millions had to be spent to “patch up” the shoddy set up In the last few years, NBN now has to redo a lot of work…….. 2.3

  • Donazzan Matt Donazzan (@Donazzan) reported

    Today's write down of the value of the AU Fed Gov investment in NBN by $31bn (~70%) is a reminder of how wasteful gov attempts to compete in utility markets can be. @DanielAndrewsMP take note - SEC restart is bad economics. #economics #Victoria #auspol

  • krysin01 krysinello (@krysin01) reported

    @Sophilautia They called me before I got a chance and basically said. Noticed some issues with your connection. Were getting NBN out to look at it. Ended up being a node issue but yeah proactive reaching out is great.

  • Chileno02Hugo Hugo (@Chileno02Hugo) reported

    @NBN_Australia Constant drop outs for the last 2 days and all my ISP can say its a NBNCO issue they logged a fault how is that staying connected it rains for 3 days the network goes down the toilet

  • tonytau101 Tony Ilian (@tonytau101) reported from Westfield, State of Western Australia

    @MSMWatchdog2013 Only in Australia do we announce we’re rolling out a national network, then we **** if up with fibre to the node, HFC & the bollocks of fixed wireless and satellite - to now find out that the Aust taxpayer is on hook for $40b. Plus we’re now rebuilding it with FTTP. TI #NBN

  • jedi_jesus0 Jedi Jesus (@jedi_jesus0) reported

    @NBN_Australia Upgrade is not available in my area. That is beyond me, I live in a suburban area that has been established for 25+ years. Looks like **** internet forever

  • BrowntownBrew Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported

    @mycrouch Without funding to undo the mess created by LNP, the service and price of #nbn will always suffer.

  • BrowntownBrew Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported

    @gmclwill @TonyBoydAFR So in the outset you can see he lays blame on ALP for the financial mess and makes out that Turnbull did the right thing in trying to reduce costs and use copper. The main reason for the write down and low value was the LNP decision to reuse copper #nbn

  • belungerer Insouciant Samuel - gibberish spoken here 👍🏽 (@belungerer) reported

    @Telstra We’ve been advised to go to NBN Sky Muster service.

  • RobMax4 Robert Maxwell (@RobMax4) reported

    When selling the policy, the Coalition government claimed it would result in a cheaper version of the NBN than Labor had originally planned in 2009, but the Productivity Commission found the switch added to the costs for the network.

  • AboutaDirk Dirk ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ (@AboutaDirk) reported

    @NBN_Australia For those wondering; The response was "lol no clue when you'll have the service you're paying for again :D" But with fancy words.

  • joshgnosis Josh Taylor (@joshgnosis) reported

    @anthony06108170 The cost was coming down, and is cheaper now. A lot of that info is in the reports. Got to remember, capital expenditure is one factor - the operating expenditure is the one biting NBN now having to maintain the old copper.

  • EnergyWrapAU BennyBeatts (@EnergyWrapAU) reported

    @GrahamY 100% true. But Rudd never paid a price for NBN stuff up. Turnbull did. And Australian consumers.

  • dgr_dgr Daniel Rose (@dgr_dgr) reported

    @debritz I often wonder if everyone in these call centers knows what they're doing is shonky. Surely there's gotta be some who legit think they work for the NBN help desk

  • BrowntownBrew Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported

    @Tayzlor @NBN_Australia The write off was due to LNP trying to reuse the copper. They spent a lot of money redesigning the network, a heap more on new copper, but never replaced the copper that was the costliest part of the network - between home and pillar. They now admit the copper provides no return

  • VBontheMove VinceB (@VBontheMove) reported

    @Telstra Extremely disappointed today. Telstra/nbn tech did not show. Upon investigation nbn had not confirmed apptmt. Another 4/5 business days required to fix connection. Case # 49051360

  • TazyDevel Social Commentator (@TazyDevel) reported

    Just another horrible 1 hour experience with @optus trying to get #optus nbn & phone and wifi for ailing mother. Aman and Suja in the Indian call centre trying to sell other products as we plead just for internet & phone. @Optus always very difficult they don’t listen.

  • YUHeff2BSoGreen This Dalek's Workday 🇺🇦💉💉💉 (@YUHeff2BSoGreen) reported

    now they tell me because i didn't receive their stupid sms at 6am while i was asleep and it's now less than 24 hours to the appointment they booked without consulting me first, they cannot reschedule it because NBN CO ARE A BUNCH OF POXY, RIGID *****

  • tonytau101 Tony Ilian (@tonytau101) reported

  • markmorey5 Mark Morey (@markmorey5) reported

    @RobMax4 Fortunately our connection to NBN was early 2013 and we got FTTP - we get what we pay for (50mbs) 24 x 7 (always 51.2), hasn't ever dropped out or suffered issues. Do it once, do it right, do it fibre.

  • BrowntownBrew Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported

    @Tayzlor @NBN_Australia Look at NZ and how well they are doing with their fibre roll out and the costs people pay for the various speeds. We could have had that if LNP didn't cripple the network. FTTP networks have value and provide a return on investment. Reusing copper doesn't.

  • vandmedia Kiwivandi (@vandmedia) reported

    @itshughesy @NBN_Australia 5g is far superior, 650mbits down for the same price as a NBN connection that can only offer up to 100mbits down…Latency is still fantastic. The NBN was a tragedy in terms of execution, a shining beacon of failure of greedy government, it could have been something special…

  • greggardner43 Greg Gardner (@greggardner43) reported

    No wonder @Optus had a data breach. Same company cannot supply full strength internet or phone line for over a week. So called help line incompetent. Technician baffled. Blame game has started with @NBN_Australia. @Telstra here I come.

  • the_scotsman_ the_scotsman_ (@the_scotsman_) reported

    It astound me how the #NBN are still operating. They **** something up EVERY time! I made an NBN tech appointment yesterday. Booked for 1-5 today. I get a text at 8am this morning to say the tech is on his way. No one is home, I said 1-5 for a bloody reason! It's not difficult!

  • JaSe_BdM Jase_BDM (@JaSe_BdM) reported

    NBN is an absolute disgrace! Some may call it a first world problem that we don’t have internet - but I do live in a first world country! Pathetic!

  • BhagsNStonks BhagsNStonks (@BhagsNStonks) reported

    @zhanginu Nbn will seem cheap by comparison. Twiggy Forest lobbying the **** out of all govs. He's put so much money into unproven hydrogen. They'll lap it up on our dollar
