  • Nyanpocalypse_ TheNyanpocalypse (@Nyanpocalypse_) reported

    Rapidly approaching one and a half days since the NBN had gone down. Called my provider they said it’s an area issue. So I have to wait it out. Would love to know what the cause is and an estimation on the fix.

  • john83232546 john (@john83232546) reported

    @NBN_Australia @NBN_Australia currently we have no internet at home @Optus are saying it’s an NBN issue but we get no response. Given we have family members isolated by Covid the best we could hope for is a video link. At the moment that is highly unlikely. Very stressful.

  • jupagoro JP Gonzalez (@jupagoro) reported

    After offering help @NBN_Australia has done absolutely nothing and is ignoring my DMs they asked me to send them.... I wonder if comes billing time they will ask my ISP to cogrr the full thing....

  • Daniel65677088 Daniel (@Daniel65677088) reported

    @NBN_Australia rubbish phone service, simple question that i can't get an answer to. This organisation is like the network rubbish.

  • dawnstarau Dawnstar Australis (@dawnstarau) reported

    @stilgherrian Because this is a service nbn provides for free?

  • J71nj J71NJ (@J71nj) reported

    @wabster @smh @SupratimA Blame the idiot Rudd Gov that started NBN.... Of all the things a Government should never get involved in Telecom.....should be top of the list.....

  • AndrewMattock Andrew Mattock (@AndrewMattock) reported

    Jesus the #nbn is **** sometimes....Sorry 7 hour outage in your area....

  • Aussie_BB Aussie Broadband (@Aussie_BB) reported

    @RossPoulton @NBN_Australia Hi Ross, I'd suggest contacting our Support team to have a look into what's happening and what we can do to help, but depending on the issues it may take a while to get NBN to fix the problem - Paul

  • mezla Matt (@mezla) reported

    @OurNewHomecoach I was 19, half way through my Mathematical Sciences degree, then I decided I wanted to change to a double degree in Mathematics and Computer Science. 25 years later, nbn pays me well to be really awesome at Excel VBA... I could never have guessed I'd end up doing this!

  • Klavinmour Keiran Norman (@Klavinmour) reported

    Man gotta love how @NBN_Australia and @Telstra have the worst internet in the world and it will never meet an acceptable standard. The SECOND School Holidays start you can't do anything with the internet, and it completely destroys my chances of streaming during the holidays.

  • wabster wabster (@wabster) reported

    @J71nj @smh @SupratimA Bloody stupid comment, clueless totally. These large infrastructure project are exactly what Government SHOULD be getting into. Rudd's NBN proposal was what was needed technically, but LNP's pandering to Murdoch again saw it nobbled to be redundant almost before it was complete!

  • damovisa Damian Brady 🥑 #BLM (@damovisa) reported

    @NBN_Australia I'm not worried about the _scheduled_ outages... It's the daily _unscheduled_ ones that are a problem.

  • skennedy48 Shaun Kennedy (@skennedy48) reported

    @Telstra Nbn is available at their address. Telstra created the problem and refuse to fix it and refuse to take the onus on themselves to resolve it. Being asked how could I appease you in a smart *** way by a consultant was a nightlight of their service

  • maelduin_ross Cassandra Bunyip (@maelduin_ross) reported

    @meadea So many important services assume that you have mobile phone connectivity. Mine is off almost all the time, I only bought the damn thing when I realised that VOIP via NBN dropped out at just the times of emergency that it was needed.

  • Nhandley89 Nathan (@Nhandley89) reported

    @Aussie_BB nbn has been down in the bexley NSW area for about an hour though, tried resetting modems and all. Been flawless otherwise before hand.

  • Tzisorey Embrace the Daddy (@Tzisorey) reported

    Hey @NBN_Australia - your outage page confirms that my address has "An unplanned incident [...] affecting the network" - but how do I get more details? Like, an ETA in particular. My ISP doesn't show the outage, so no ETA is available through them.

  • IamRainarajesh Rajesh sharma (@IamRainarajesh) reported

    Never give up!!! #100FREEiPhone12 @LewLater @UnboxTherapy nbn

  • qzervaas Quentin Zervaas (@qzervaas) reported

    @NBN_Australia You really need to get rid of FTTN. The copper network is rubbish. I have a tech working on the pillar outside my house for a different client’s house, and now my internet is dead, within about 10 seconds of him closing the pillar.

  • loutosetto Lou Tosetto (@loutosetto) reported

    @JoelFishEcology @Optus It's insane! You're probably right. I had cable internet before this and it was the best! Maybe I should cancel the NBN and get more mobile data

  • skennedy48 Shaun Kennedy (@skennedy48) reported

    @Telstra There is no point, Telstra have made it clear that they will not turn my parents internet back on. Even though it was mistakenly removed from my parents service by a Telstra consultant. Because may parents had adsl internet and they are in an nbn ready area. But their address

  • skennedy48 Shaun Kennedy (@skennedy48) reported

    @Telstra Is not nbn ready so they cannot get nbn. They now have to wait for an nbn service request to be done. Which takes 5-20 business days not factoring in Christmas holidays. So they will be without internet for a minimum of 33 days. Will not be out through to anyone of authority

  • crudeoilpeak Crude Oil Peak (@crudeoilpeak) reported

    @smh @SupratimA The #NBN is fundamentally flawed: when the black NBN box inside your home does not get power (e.g. because of an outage) or breaks down (equipment aging, lightning), your land line no longer works. That can cost your life if you need to ring 000. Old Telstra connection was safer

  • claudiablb Claudia BL 🦩 (prnns: she/her) (@claudiablb) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @TPG_Telecom the @NBN_Australia status check says that the issues on my area are resolved but I still have no internet at home. What’s the ETA on your end?

  • RossPoulton Ross Poulton (@RossPoulton) reported

    @NBN_Australia Is there a formal avenue I can take - directly with NBN - to escalate this issue? I must be @Aussie_BB's least profitable customer after they spent so much time troubleshooting your node issue.

  • GordonAplin 💧Gordon Aplin (@GordonAplin) reported

    ABC @BreakfastNews interviewing Communications Minister Fletcher apologise for poor video connection instead of blaming crap NBN. Opportunity missed.

  • Firedingo Firedingo (@Firedingo) reported

    @wasduk1 @LaurakBuzz @JimSterling The result was quite a number of articles which said the NBN would fail to be worth it and the government was to blame and he was right. But at the time he was told to stop writing so many govt critical pieces and wrote something good about it and the govt. In essence lie.

  • virginsnowbunny Ice Maiden (@virginsnowbunny) reported

    @smh @SupratimA No NBN at my place. Regions are poor cousins. They must mean it is built in the cities.

  • Aussie_BB Aussie Broadband (@Aussie_BB) reported

    @damovisa @NBN_Australia Unfortunately NBN scheduled outages are outside of our control, but if the issues continue outside of those times our Support team can look into what's causing the problem - Paul

    @Bertie1Uncle @BOsqura Just as long as NBN does not mean No Bloody Network

  • Lexxx1793 alex (@Lexxx1793) reported

    @njninerfan499 @NinerNick_22 And this is why I watch NBN. Not that it’s always about being positive and stuff. But it’s like this guy finds something to say and tweets like a million times about it sounding very whiny. I’m not trying to **** on the guy either I respectfully unfollowed him. It just drives me
