    2 weeks now since @VodafoneAU and @NBN_Australia disconnected my NBN without notice. Just blaming each other... Or me. Voda hold music is that John Mayer song Lockdown (Queen of California). Really feeling that customer-centric sensitivity right now #lockdownSydney

  • the_pimaster Russell (@the_pimaster) reported

    @NBN_Australia No, it has randomly returned. Rebooting modem didn't help, rebooting router didn't help. But now I can receive a call. My ISP has told me that unless issues occur regularly (5 times a day, 3 days in a row) there is nothing they can do.

  • Bunts73 Bunts 1 (@Bunts73) reported

    @VodafoneAU what’s the story with NBN in Northern Sydney ? Not working

  • NBN_Australia nbn™ Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @Trista16557904 Thanks for your message, Trista nbn takes all reasonable steps to ensure that customers experience as little inconvenience as possible throughout installation or maintenance activities, and when looking into service issues. 1/2

  • NBN_Australia nbn™ Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @Trista16557904 We are sorry to hear this, Trista. nbn is planning to limit non-essential maintenance to minimise scheduled, planned outages in the weeks ahead to maintain network availability as much as possible. 1/2

  • Kellie105 Kellie 105 sewer rat🐀🐀🐀 (@Kellie105) reported

    Trying to watch a movie in lockdown and the #LNPfail NBN is just making it painful as speed is so slow that it's constantly freezing!

  • richardmelb05 Richard Edwards (@richardmelb05) reported

    Thank goodness I have prepaid internet service, I keep that service if we lose our home phone/nbn and mobile phone/internet services to outages or the services are suspended because I don’t have the money to pay for them

  • RichForrest2 Richard Forrester: Anti Fascist, Evil #SewerRat 🐀 (@RichForrest2) reported

    @Aussietranstara @Telstra Hellstra™ are good in the country. Even on the Mornington Peninsula, I had to stand outside to get any signal. Went with Amaysim who piggyback off the Optus network. I still have a cable connected to the house for Internode NBN. 1 planned drop out in 2years

  • bozwhite Boz (@bozwhite) reported

    @Don_Erebus Is that with NBN. Not getting any buffer issues on 5g home broadband

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @Connor81603040 Hi Connor, does the message say you won`t have internet at all or the service may be disrupted ? Is this for an NBN connection? Please send us a direct message with the details and your full address so that we can double check this for you. Kartik

  • roslw ana france (@roslw) reported

    @iiNet home internet down InnerWestSydney. Sim only modem Not NBN. Great start to lockdown IiNet! You really need to set up messaging help as alternative to clunky voice calls. Fast & one thing Telstra gets right.

  • LapTop006 Julien Goodwin (@LapTop006) reported

    @PerfectStormo @DavidHRobb @theboatend I've had a Linux-running box as a router at $PARENTAL_UNIT's house for the last decade, whilst not entirely trouble free, the ADSL, then later NBN HFC connections have been far more of a pain than the router. Given I'm an hour flight away (at best), this is important.

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @nicholasdellis Hey Nick, sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with that NBN service, we can take a look into that from our end to see what's causing the issue. Please send through a DM with your NBN username and address. We'll follow up asap. Rob

  • daydreamreprise ًfan account (@daydreamreprise) reported

    @yassmonade same omg he was so ******* stupid and kept nbn alive

  • Trista16557904 Trista (@Trista16557904) reported

    @NBN_Australia Please clarify how a NBN scheduled maintenance has anything to do with my ISP and how they are responsible for compensation. Please stop pushing people around! I am in the process of contacting the news media as NBN does not have a direct complaint line and this is unacceptable.

  • guruschmoo Guru Schmoo (@guruschmoo) reported

    @Dave_Matteo Luckily my modem switches to 4G if nbn goes down

  • jsclifton James Clifton (@jsclifton) reported

    @Telstra My father (existing customer) recently moved apartments and you are unable to provide him with an ADSL connection as “NBN owns the lines” and you are not doing new connections but there is no NBN into the building. How is this a new connection? How is this acceptable?

  • mockturtle06 Jen (@mockturtle06) reported

    First day of proper lockdown tomorrow and my NBN is gonna be out. Bewdy. And never mind that I had plans this week. PLANS. An *additional* pox on that limo driver. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits. 🤬

  • HansOrph Hans Orph (@HansOrph) reported

    @darthted Third time's a charm right? NBN was a **** up, vaccine: **** up, yeah you're right there's no hope. We're ******!

  • KarenJHiggins Karen Higgins (@KarenJHiggins) reported

    @VodafoneAU Every night we have NBN and mobile outage. Tonight it was from 12:10 AM to 12:29 AM. Last night, it was around 2 AM. The night before, it was around 3 AM. Why? Do I need to get another service for redundancy for when Vodafone is down?

  • sid_verma Sid Verma (@sid_verma) reported

    @Telstra #nbn is hands down the single worst internet connection I have had! The connection drops more often than raindrops in a thunderstorm. Pathetic !!!

  • Dave_Matteo Dave (@Dave_Matteo) reported

    I'm so sick of the NBN going out. I had less problems in 2 years of 4G than I have in 3 months of NBN

  • StephenHempel Stephen Hempel (@StephenHempel) reported

    @kayosports_help Still problems with Kayo streaming via Apple TV. Done a Telstra speed test of our Telstra NBN and is 50mbs. I’ve uninstalled as advised but am still experiencing the following: Spasmodic blurred image; stalled streaming that skips back. It only happens with Kayo, very annoying

  • papa_cole45 Papa Cole (@papa_cole45) reported

    @Cut4 @MLB Catches it - beautiful play Falls down - “omg ridiculous NBN clip omg”

  • TheDon1308 The Don (@TheDon1308) reported

    @Foxtel This is why the LNP fcuked our NBN rollout. So fucktel could offer crap speeds at silly prices and still be somewhat competitive.

  • DeanRosario Dean Rosario (@DeanRosario) reported

    @am_paraj Yup. And Paramount+ also get access to the OptusMobile/NBN customer base.

  • srikat Sridhar Katakam (@srikat) reported

    @Trusted_Samurai The max line I could get from NBN is 50 Mbps down due to the distance of our house from the node. I am keeping an eye on the data usage. 56GB in 5 days, so 500GB per month should be enough.

  • ReallyRichKelly Richard Kelly (@ReallyRichKelly) reported

    Anyone on Optus NBN having issues today? In 2017 area.

  • NBN_Australia nbn™ Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @the_pimaster Morning Russell, are your services still impacted? We hope you've raised the matter with your service provider. They can run a line test with you. If a fault is found over the nbn, the team will work with them to getting it fixed. Thanks, Maya

    @Aussie_BB our internet has been terrible tonight, can this be expected to be the norm as all of Sydney is in lock down again for 2 weeks? No increased bandwidth from NBN?
