  • deepikarao81 Deepika Rao (@deepikarao81) reported

    @NBN_Australia So its been more than a month we have been complaining about our network issues in Seven Hills. The cabling itself doesn’t support more than 50mbps but we dont even get 10mbps. Everytime we complain, nbn guy talks about some cable repair which has not happened yet!

  • ssharwood Simon Sharwood (@ssharwood) reported

    @daunce_ @NBN_Australia Indeed. So while our connection is rubbish we have no way of knowing what the issue is or when it will be fixed. Optimal. Not

  • tabAFER Tabatha (@tabAFER) reported

    Is anyone else having as many speed issues and frequent drop outs as we are on @Optus NBN? Pretty much over it at this point. Impossible to get anything done when your supposed highest speed connection can’t even load the Speedtest website.

  • FatPedals FAT Pedals (@FatPedals) reported

    @Telstra NBN connection goes down like every 2 weeks. Get the same old scripting from Telstra. Then get told use my 4G till the NBN is fixed. What a waste of time u throttle the speed down to nothing,useless. ADSL was old tech, but it was stable and reliable. Something the NBN is not...

  • FlyOpineMonkey Sir Darryl Adams (@FlyOpineMonkey) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @ssharwood @NBN_Australia I would never expect to see anyone look at Telstra's horrible service system, and then set out to copy it but intentionally make it worse. But here we are. Related note: still no NBN connection in my new place...

  • jm493_au John Mann 💉💉💉 (@jm493_au) reported

    @cathywilcox1 Them: Your NBN will be cut off soon Me: I was about to ring you up! The NBN has been horrible! I demand a refund for the last 6 months! Them: I can't do that Me: I demand to speak to your manager! Them: But ... Me: No. I'm not speaking to you until I get my refund ...

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    maybe it was good @NBN_Australia went down for 2 or 3 days so I could give #4G a good try out and with so much data I have no extra cost for better speed and less latency meaning my Windows 11 computer generally operates better with faster network though still needs tabs closing

  • Aitch_El Overlizard (@Aitch_El) reported

    @cathywilcox1 @Askgerbil Oh ive only ever had the recorded message. Sadly i now have no NBN service to disconnect (only 2 bars of Telstra).

  • michael_wilde1 Michael Wilde (@michael_wilde1) reported

    @slace @runfaster2000 @davidfowl I think he was expecting me to say around 20 Mbps. His whole prepared script went out the door. Then he said say oh I can't hear you sorry I think your breaking up. You know your country's internet is bad when even the scammers know how terrible the Coalition's NBN is.

  • vk2hml Deplorable 🇦🇺VK2 (@vk2hml) reported

    @ChrisMinnsMP What do you expect 30 page fill out online but people don’t have power, mobile phones or internet #NBN 🤔 Flood relief money just another scam like drought relief was 80 pages of bull crap 😡

  • TPG_Telecom TPG (@TPG_Telecom) reported

    @TheyCallMeObZen Hi ObZen, we've tested the line and was able to detect a failing status with the NBN NTD box. Is it okay for us to reset the NBN NTD connection remotely? Or are you currently using the service? -Basil

  • ZoeWundenberg Zoë Wundenberg (@ZoeWundenberg) reported

    @Optus @NBN_Australia It’s a network outage. I’ve been texted. Just disappointing in the timing.

  • james_stracey James Stracey (@james_stracey) reported

    @NBN_Australia I was never able to get ADSL however I’m still only getting ADSL2 speeds on a NBN FTTN connection. It looks like another two year wait till my family of 5 can work and school remotely, simultaneously…

  • Verboskitty Omit the Union Jack (@Verboskitty) reported

    @cathywilcox1 Nicole of NBN still calls even though I always hang up on her.

  • NellyJa73255653 Nelly Jane (@NellyJa73255653) reported

    @NBN_Australia I’ve got issues with your network 6 yrs ago when your lazy contractors connected my service i told them not to locate service at front of hse cause it was to far from where computer terminal & power points etc were located in hse & not enough power outlets to plug in nbn etc

  • teflocarbon Teflo⚡️ (@teflocarbon) reported

    @2xPfizer When I think of the nbn and the opportunity that they may have absolutely nuked the opportunities of this country and sleepwalked us into a state of technological backwater AND service backwater. The best time to fix the nbn was five years ago. The next best time is now.

  • jim_serf Jim Serf (@jim_serf) reported

    @augamr @Telstra Hey don’t complain I was bullied off HFC last year and onto NBN with twice as many boxes and cables, half the speed and frequent connection/DNS issue. For the same extortionate fees compared to the rest of the world !

  • DavidGWhitting1 David G Whittingham (@DavidGWhitting1) reported

    @cathywilcox1 Contacting the real NBN ain’t easy either. It took me a week to persuade Telstra my NBN was stuffed and another week for someone from NBN to fix it. No Net for a fortnight isn’t acceptable these days. Everyone (almost) relies on it.

  • ssharwood Simon Sharwood (@ssharwood) reported

    A messy wholesaler>retailer interface and customer service falling through the cracks was a feature of the pre-NBN telco industry. It was known to be bad for all concerned. It hasn't been fixed. Yet connectivity has only become more important in that time.

  • NellyJa73255653 Nelly Jane (@NellyJa73255653) reported

    @NBN_Australia What are you going to do about this ? I’ve no $$ for employing anyone to do it I’m a dis pensioner $400 per wk doesn’t stretch to luxuries like employing tradesmen if I can’t fix it stays broken 😞 my service is not broken it’s been poorly installed .. your fault not mine .

  • JoanneHorniman Unpopular gals (@JoanneHorniman) reported

    @MaggieDaWitch The plot thickens. I don’t have the app; they are mentally beyond me. I just do it on an iPad. With slow NBN.

  • Anthony_Caruana Anthony Caruana (@Anthony_Caruana) reported

    The removal of superflious equipment (boxes, cables, etc) should have been part of the project @NBN_Australia ran. I spent over an hour in an online chat with @Optus to get someone there to understand the issue and book me a tech. And now i'll need to do the same with @Telstra

  • HarkinsKeith Keith Harkins (@HarkinsKeith) reported

    @Telstra After a lifetime with Telstra we have now such a pathetic nbn service I am signing up to Starlink

  • NellyJa73255653 Nelly Jane (@NellyJa73255653) reported

    @NBN_Australia Consequently my nbn is lousy as wifi drops constantly I’ve tried since then to get nbn to move it but you haven’t . This is MY SERVICE TO MY HOME ! I have every right to direct your contractors where to locate it ! Im 100% certain yours is located exactly where you need it to be!

  • the_viper_420 🔥 The Viper 2.0 🔥 (@the_viper_420) reported

    I need a cute nerd to do tech support for my NBN next week 🥺

  • Smol_Aurora Lil Rora (@Smol_Aurora) reported

    Cause the home internet is down we've swapped to our phones mobile hotspot which has access too 5g and omg so far the connection has been so much better then with NBN like wtf was literally running fortnite with no lag at all like just wow would use it permanently but Data >.>

  • calliopeski bendotu (@calliopeski) reported

    @joshgnosis I was offered a 6-month free upgrade to 250 Mbps (from 100 Mbps). Only problem was we finally got a wee bit closer to to the 100 Mbps we’d been paying for all along. And still slower than when we paid 1/3 less before the bloody NBN.

  • DocOnSkis Ken Behrens 💉 (@DocOnSkis) reported

    @NBN_Australia Not sure it'll help. Ostensibly have an NBN technician coming out sometime Tuesday morning... but having had you guys summarily cancel two booked call-outs already this week (without notifying me, I might add) I must say my hopes are far from high, at this point.

  • Gamer_Rade Addie (Rade) (@Gamer_Rade) reported

    @ssharwood I wrote a complaint to @NBN_Australia through my retailer because there were 10 "planned outages" during lockdown that happened through business hours which meant that my net would cut out while I was on a call.
