    @Denise242010781 @MikeCarlton01 Maybe the ship off the WA coast is just collecting the data. I mean, they could just use the NBN… but maybe they had some trouble?

  • Descry Descry (@Descry) reported

    @_FredMackay @Letofski Starting to think his upstream is hitting the nbn policer and getting throttled down. Not sure exact term but it's a thing.

  • DaddDaniel Daniel Dadd (@DaddDaniel) reported

    @Middleton_Says It is incredibly painful, unfortunately we are smack between a few NBN wireless towers but blocked from line of sight. So 4g broadband is all we get. And I'm fairly sure Telstra has been winding down 4g in recent months as its getting steadily worse. I'll be looking into Starlink

  • BritishBugs Tristan Bantock (@BritishBugs) reported

    @rockwolf74 Wonder if it could be Eurysella brunnea? Never seen it, but a recent arrival apparently. The only records on NBN are from Shropshire! Put it on iRecord and see what Alan thinks

  • ImnotaRunr imnotaRUNR (@ImnotaRunr) reported

    @Telstra Been down that road - The NBN connection for my small business ended up with me having no service for 3 weeks and countless headaches over the last 3 years. I complained and you denied it was your fault . #smallbusiness

  • JustAcidity Acidity (@JustAcidity) reported

    Guess who just got an hour ban on ranked for @Rainbow6Game cause the @NBN_Australia can't offer a fttn connection that doesn't randomly kick you out of games, put your ping up to 21738 (actual number no exaggeration), constant speed drops to 0.05mbps down and up. It's disgraceful

  • SEdwards0108 Scott Edwards 💉💉💉 (@SEdwards0108) reported

    JFC stayed home all morning so @Telstra NBN tech could rectify our home iternet issue. Now being advised to stay home for the rest of the day that the tech might make it.

  • LoudestCatsFan Damo B (@LoudestCatsFan) reported

    @NBN_Australia There will be a technician working on it again today as happens every 6-12 months for the post few years. Surely they report issues such as this?

  • vesica13b Anne 🐘🐳🐬🙏🇺🇦 (@vesica13b) reported

    @brettcarter62 We can thank the LNP for the dreadful NBN we have, has been a lot of rain where I am and internet in, out, slow, every day I swear at Malcolm and the LNP

  • Bababooie42 Kyle Jacob 'Bababooie' de Boer 🦓👽🐰⚪ (@Bababooie42) reported

    Be pretty cool if the internet didn't **** itself every time it gets a little wet out. How good's the NBN?? /s

  • Descry Descry (@Descry) reported

    @_FredMackay @Letofski Starting to think his upstream is hitting the nbn limiter and getting throttled down. Not sure exact term for it but it's a real thing.

    @NBN_Australia Outage at Anchorage Court Tranmere Tasmania

  • CraigCollie5 Craig Collie (@CraigCollie5) reported

    @iiNet this rain in brisbane seems to be affecting our FTTC internet service. We’ve had unreliable service the past few days, can anything be done to fix this? Is this an NBN issue with the pit out the front flooding? Thanks!

  • TheRiffJet Riff Jet (@TheRiffJet) reported

    Pss poor effort @NBN_Australia send out sub contractors, who haven’t been given a briefing on what they are to do on premises. You guys are useless. Back to morse code.

  • Lexiphoric lexi (@Lexiphoric) reported

    @GrahameStanford @sunriseon7 @JasonClareMP Which was that? the one that steered us through the GFC as the strongest economy in the world, saving millions from bankruptcy? The one that actually tried to use our tax dollars to invest in our infrastructure for future growth(like the NBN that the LNP quickly turned to ****)?

  • cafuego cafuego 🤦🏼‍♂️🔭 (@cafuego) reported

    @KathyReid You're not covered by the iinet community coax network there, are you? I got an nbn flyer from Aussie BB in North Melbourne and they want to sell me 100Mbit nbn for more moneys than I currently pay for my TPG non-nbn FTTB.

  • MeckeringBoy Michael Dowling #ICACNow💉💉💉💉🤗 (@MeckeringBoy) reported from Westfield, State of Western Australia

    @MegJobson1 If you’re in an FTTN NBN zone you can lose Internet with rain, flood, storm, fire… any power outage because nodes need power to operate. Several years ago, a drunk driver took out my suburb’s Internet access for days. Tech said it couldn’t happen with underground fibre. #auspol

  • mwmur Mike (@mwmur) reported

    @beourmate Your service is terrible, you can't even get people connected. 3/3 timeframes not met, you don't keep track of NBN incident numbers and you claim you don't have the ability to talk directly to the NBN. #DontbeaMate #auspoll2022

  • ytc8438 Ty (@ytc8438) reported

    @JansenBasil @RositaDaz48 @CheleCassebohm We became a stupid country when people voted LNP 3 times. First they said austerity was good, then they spent like drunken sailor on rorts, corruption, and waste for their rich mates. $1T in debt. Destroyed the NBN with copper, now they're replacing their **** copper with fibre

  • robandart Rob O'Brien (@robandart) reported

    LNP's NBN outage Qld NAPLAN 11/05/22. LNP's NBN outage SA NAPLAN 12/05/22. 61st in the world high speed internet. Disgraceful. Absolute failure of LNP government. Don't have a clue. Don't like NAPLAN, but this failure of NBN is country wide. Keep voting out the LNP.

  • AndrewEdmiston Andrew Edmiston (@AndrewEdmiston) reported

    @Telstra any chance we can have an @NBN_Australia service that works and is reliable?? So sick of not having internet but still paying an overpriced fee for a service that is more unreliable than @GeelongCats

  • JimRHoughton Ignoble Jim Houghton (@JimRHoughton) reported

    Question. We have a 'landline' via Optus NBN that comes off the modem/wi-fi box. But our cordless phone doesn't have range to reach back of house with good reception. Is there a solution via wi-fi, or suggestions on a cordless that will do 20-25metres through house clearly?

  • cutevideogamer (◠‿◠✿) emi ;w; (@cutevideogamer) reported

    @884253_Blu L the actual service provided actually has nothing to do with the ISP, they're basically just reselling NBN - i used to be on telstra and actually found that aussie broadband customer support is way better

  • Stephen_Sizer Stephen Sizer 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 💉💉💉 (@Stephen_Sizer) reported

    @patrickkeneally @rgloveroz @abcsydney I wfh and am fortunate to have FTTP. My phone and internet is exceptionally reliable and fast. My colleagues that have fttn have a terrible time when it rains. I don't think we would have these problems if the NBN had been done properly, as it was initially designed

  • fluffylucy yehuda harmor (@fluffylucy) reported

    @midge_thomas @Ballyurra Not a question of irony but luck of the draw. Depending on your location and the kind of nbn technology used, your service may or may not be vulnerable to weather caused stoppages. A result of 21st century technology being sabotaged by Abbott's 19th century thinking.

  • RaveM81 RaveM8 (@RaveM81) reported

    @superloopnet Nbn box isn’t getting any upstream, how can I fix this?

  • antfarmer Antfarmer (@antfarmer) reported

    @VodafoneAU what’s going on with your NBN service? It lets been crap for weeks now on and off. Now flipping to 4G backup periodically? Are their known issues? Is it the rain?? 😩

  • Richard68486556 Richard aka Farmer (@Richard68486556) reported

    @Middleton_Says @NBN_Australia Nbn blames telstra. Telstra blames nbn. Round about we go. Good I pay the same as everyone with a good signal. They should also pay my TV subscriptions I can't use regularly

  • RobboBS151 Bruce (@RobboBS151) reported

    @AmandaValentina Suggestion, The NBN box in your premises may have upto 4 connections into which your modem from your isp may plug. Have you tested your modem in each connection. You may need to wait a few minutes between each plugging to test your phone or computer to see if service working.
