    @RositaDaz48 What legacy would you chose of YOUR heroes? 1. Chasing non existent WMD. 2. Eating a raw onion 3. An expensive and slow NBN 4. Corrupt liar

  • wheels002 Kerrie B (@wheels002) reported

    My Telstra NBN has cut out at least 12 to 15 times in less than 24 hours for anything up to an hour each time. I seem to using my mobile data most of the time (different provider). Thanks for this sh1tty NBN LNP #auspol

  • moldarch Герань🏴 (@moldarch) reported

    @NBN_Australia I wish I could but thanks to your absolutely stellar service I haven't had a stable internet connection for three ******* years, thanks NBN!

    @Imresal The enemy is monopoly, not state-owned or private. Where monopoly is inevitable, like water, it should be public. Where competition keeps prices low & service standards high, as in telecommunications, it should be private with the exception of basic infrastructure NBN

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • nate1947_79 Nathan (@nate1947_79) reported

    @NBN_Australia I documented my internet speed before and after NBN was installed so I've got to ask was the NBN just to monitor people's online content or to throttle down speed and or both? I documented with video and photo of the actual installation the and speed performance 🤯

  • jckmac7 kayd (@jckmac7) reported

    @NBN_Australia I just want a service provider that can give me decent customer service, decent connection & I'm not on hold repeatedly for nearly an hour. So over the NBN & so called 'service providers'.

  • BrowntownBrew Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported

    @Tayzlor @NBN_Australia Telecoms network is critical infrastructure that was in the hands of a company that bled it dry to expand its mobile network. NZ Telecom did the right thing and participated in the fibre rollout. Telstra wouldn't because they were greedy under the leadership of Sol

  • 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.

  • BrowntownBrew Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported

    @Tayzlor @NBN_Australia Consumers decided they wanted better speeds and were happy to pay, but LNP's crippled network prevented the consumer getting what they paid so the RSPs were forced refund the users

  • shelibeans @Shelibeans@mastodon.au 🤟🏻❤️🖤🤌🏻 (@shelibeans) reported

    One thing I won't miss when I go home tomorrow is my parents' **** internet...gimme my fast NBN please and thankyou #painful

  • BrowntownBrew Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported

    @Tayzlor @NBN_Australia @elonmusk The reason there isn't a return is because #NBN wasted $30B reusing old tech and hiding the fact it was costing $Bs per year to maintain. They now say they didn't realise the high cost and that's why they are moving back to fibre. Fibre is the profitable part of the network

  • 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.

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

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

  • Gianttittiesfu Gianttittiesfullofmilk (@Gianttittiesfu) reported

    @stuwasusp @GrahamY No. You're the one making wild claims you carry the burden of proof. Murdoch sinking the NBN is deranged and some idiot wiki is not evidence of it

  • 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.

  • sev_romero Sev Romero (@sev_romero) reported

    @velcrochicken12 @NBN_Australia @michaelplis I've had 5 years of them not fixing my issue and all they do is say "contact your ISP" when even their own engineers admit it's their fault.

  • Wafty1 Edward Hewer 🌱 (@Wafty1) reported

    @rcmillar @SamKSS LOL. Starlink didn’t exist in 2013 let alone 2017. Starlink also enjoys the ground station bandwidth that was rolled out in early development of NBN. Also, Starlink cannot support more than 10% of Australian users but yeah keep drinking that wireless cool aid bro.

  • 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.

  • CutAdriftFromOz Justa Guy (@CutAdriftFromOz) reported

    @FinancialReview hey ... look at that... I can get nbn speeds on 5g. didn't need a nationwide fibre network... just a bunch of towers here and there

  • pigironman1 pig iron man (@pigironman1) reported

    @PhilipOLeary11 this was Turnbull's fiasco...Abbott palmed it all over to Malcolm to take care of. Two subjects Malcolm Turnbull dodges are the Panama papers (his name was all over them) and wtf happened to the NBN.

  • dkhodaverdian Daniel Khodaverdian (@dkhodaverdian) reported

    @FinancialReview The NBN network is already outdated and its not even finished. The LNP made sure of that the day they trashed it. Once 5G and then 6G is freely available no one will use this crap. Paying thousands to connect fibre to the premise from the street just for a measly 100mbps. Genius.

  • 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

  • manaz_d Robert Hudson (@manaz_d) reported

    @KathyReid Or the fact that paying Telstra for all that decaying copper just helped Telstra to build services that compete with the NBN. It's almost like the LNP wanted the NBN (given it was an ALP invention) to fail...

  • damienvenditti damien venditti (@damienvenditti) reported

    @theage @Chris_Murray48 @hijessicayun So Rudd planned for NBN. The Libs decided to go with copper instead of fibre, blow the budget and provide **** internet. Labor now have to upgrade it to fibre NBN as first planned, but some rubes think that’s Labor’s fault?

  • 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

  • 30_to_40olives mads dikkelsen (@30_to_40olives) reported

    @NBN_Australia oh I'm not eligible, I've checked. even though there's fttp connected properties <100m away from me. but yeah, cool that I only need to wait another year or more before you'll provision me with the service you should've in the first place

  • rcmillar Ryan Millar 🇦🇺 (@rcmillar) reported

    @Wafty1 @SamKSS Who said Starlink existed in 2017? I’m saying the Telstra service and NBN is so **** that I moved and I’m very happy.
