    @eevblog @Hobbie4C Perhaps there's been a huge surge in demand for bandwidth from those cellsites since the NBN outage? Everyone has the same idea as you and bandwidth is finite. The more concurrent users, the lower the throughput.

    I found out what the problem was, the entire building is down. NBN backbone issue, so it's not the ISP. Found a guy in the building that runs a mobile repeater business for buildings like this and he has official contacts with Telstra who say it's going to be down for the whole long weekend. Everyone in the building is struggling with phone access. He's going to put a proposal into strata (handily, that's me!) to install mobile repeaters in the building and also the basement carpark. I said I'll approve it.

    @Matt_Camenzuli @jabattoir13 @JuliaGillard I think she was worse than Turnbull. I must have missed other reasons Turnbull was terrible, but my one thing with him was wasting time and money on the NBN, we're still paying for full fibre rollout house-by-house, made sense to just do the lot once, less driving per-house.

    @australian Even Tesla is made in China, so what is the actual issue here? This was sent from my Mac Mini, made in China, sitting on a desk made in China, connected to the NBN through a Wi-Fi gateway made in China, typed from my Logitech keyboard, made in China, while I sit in an office chair made in China, looking at a Samsung monitor made in, checks notes, Vietnam. At some point the argument has to get more precise than “China bad.” If the concern is connected vehicles, telemetry, firmware access, data storage, or fleet security for MPs, then make that argument properly and apply it consistently across all networked devices. But pretending Chinese EVs are uniquely suspicious while half the modern office supply chain is already Chinese-made is not analysis. My iPhone (made in China) is connected to my Apple Auto - driving me around tracking me on a GPS map, with a microphone that works, and the Head Unit (made in China) Where does it end?

    @eevblog I had a client - I/net not working. Discovered it was the whole building. 2 NBN tech, different calls: we can't fix it. I got the building mgt to show me the "gear" in the basement room. The power supply was cold. Checked power board. We flicked a breaker on that was off. Win!

    Just spent 1.5hrs with my ISP figuring out why my NBN had died. He (from Indian, a nice chap) put me through hoops & then said that the NBN box is faulty but can't get a tech out till next Tue. Then a light bulb moment hit me & said, what if I look at the metre box - sure enough, something had tripped the circuit in the room the NBN is hooked up to. I just didn't need the added stress. Then he had the hide to ask me to 'rate his service'. Yeah - nah!

    @Austen And my facetime calls over Australia’s NBN (government fiber/wire) cut out all the time. Lol

    @MarkoMatvikov Last time I was with them it was a challenge to escape, so I never went back, I had a bad experience with canceling Vodafone too. With Aussie they are good but still have to deal with the NBN monster 👿

    @trsrpc For context. Australia's NBN is still be rolled out years after it was sold as the best thing ever... Yet many have incredibly unstable internet or none at all.

    @eevblog How can an organisation like NBN not have its own HDD crews or a contractor on standby? Why does it need council permits to carry out emergency works when federal law lets telcos basically do what they want?

    @analyticflying Meh, this time next year! I had a **** fight with them 6 months ago taking 2 months to upgrade the NBN from 50 to 500 (change of billing systems)

    @villaminium @JordanRey98 @whooithVT I've already got multiple good routers so I don't need the eero but it's cool that it's a free addon. Idk about peak speed being any different as I've never not gotten max speed out of my fiber nbn connections (minus overheads) so about 950mbps+ at all hours of the day or night.

    @EnergyWrapAU @BhagsNStonks The NBN lacked a clear business case, and tried to deliver a Singapore solution to a geographically different Australia. The future was wireless.

    @NBN_Australia, I have had no NBN service since the 11th of April in Cottesloe, WA. The date for reconnection keeps moving out. Do you have any serious information on when it will return and what is the problem?

    @herecomessuper And don’t forget the useless **** is the one who gave us NBN. That basically created another government run Telstra. For a technology that was never required.

    @Qldaah If only Media Militia had gone Full Fibre to the cesspit, instead of opting for snail paced Copper NBN, they'd know that "discovery" was only a new find, mid last century & rejected as unviable, of poor quality & limited in supply.

    So the FTTN service that had been supposedly canceled is now working. @VodafoneAU claimed it was my modem. I'm using that same modem/router connected to the NBN fibre optic. Either it's a miracle or something broken got fixed.

    @mrru5s3ll @LCHF_Matt @pikkkkaro yes I understand ,he seems to think I don't know there's a difference between wifi and NBN but my only contention is he seems to think we have great wifi but **** NBN and I think the inverse. somewhere this communication got lost lmao

    @robboclancy @LCHF_Matt @pikkkkaro looks like ur even dumber then bro because the original post said >invented wifi >bad wifi. not invented wifi bad internet , ur making the conflation. our wifi is only good by our standards , id argue it's not very good in general. our NBN now though I'd say isn't bad

    @ScreamyB0I @TheIshikawaRin Totally ridiculous to think they all be taking phones that don’t work no signal cell towers in space , no nbn internet cable for a router to plug into , no wi fi on board , the weight of the phones chargers cables etc x 4 is stoopid when every gram counts . Total sci fi nonsense

    @leachitup @RWBFooty @zerohanger Just remember Dylan it’s your home Internet or the NBN causing these issues.
