    @Telstra An nbn came this morning but said the wire was broken/not there? The case manager was trying to get a telstra technician out as well

  • Left_in_Limbo Left in Limbo (@Left_in_Limbo) reported

    Why would an Optus modem with 4G backup keep searching for and connecting to that network when the NBN connection is fine?

  • gil_hardwick Gil Hardwick (@gil_hardwick) reported

    @AlboMP 1950s nationalisation of industry, rebranded as 'renewable', 'sustainable', like your failed NBN just another f*ck-up while you rort the public purse; bogged down in inefficiency and waste, no productivity, no return on our investment, endless state subsidies, no thanks.

  • anettecooper13 Anette Cooper (@anettecooper13) reported

    @Telstra No, as NBN isn’t available in her area, so she’s still on ADSL, which obviously isn’t working. I assume that it has been escalated for a fix as the underground cable has been looked at by a tech three months ago and just yesterday Grandma spent 3 hours on the phone to @telstra.

  • jamesworourke James O'Rourke (@jamesworourke) reported

    @NBN_Australia - fix your f#cking **** problems.

  • jayjamesmoody Jay James-Moody (@jayjamesmoody) reported

    Without internet 2nd weekend in a row because @NBN_Australia use connection boxes that fail during storms and don’t work weekends to replace. Reported to ISP on Wed #tangerinetelecom who have left it to me to deal with but @NBN_Australia won’t provide a replacement directly.

  • lizoluwi Liz Brown (@lizoluwi) reported

    Oh look storm and @NBN_Australia down again. Wonder how long will it take them to suss yet again EVERY TIME rains hard or storm NBN goes. Ev bloody week last month. Hav 2 phone up book appoint Its your system not mine ffs

  • tron_applebaum Kawaii Prole 🦖🚬 (@tron_applebaum) reported

    Meant to be getting my NBN installed today and I haven't even got the box and haven't replied about rescheduling. AND the stupid modem isn't at the post office it said it would be at. AND I've gone out without a bra so I'm about to flap down Fitzroy at in a fury

  • DarkRepulsor127 💧DarkRepulsor127💧 (@DarkRepulsor127) reported

    Internet date pushed back further, way to go NBN, ******* more please why don't ya?

  • Cornaum 💧🌏Knightess Coralie N 💜💚❤ (@Cornaum) reported

    @rtennantwood Lightning does that, my NBN just went down. When it happens I don't do anything. It often resets itself within hrs or day. In town, we're still using copper we don't really have quality NBN. Had them out x3 boxes & told me to turn off when it rains. We were sold dummy nb. 🤞🤞

  • ShivInde Shiv Inde (@ShivInde) reported

    @VodafoneAU really pathetic service from your team. First of all I had requested for my NBN connection to be disconnected from 1st January but it was disconnected today itself. Then I was told the connection can not be restored before tomorrow due to nbn profile n stuff. (1/2)

  • alfaspider La DolceVita (@alfaspider) reported

    @NBN_Australia cant get NBN to my property so offered #skymuster satellite. At least free to install. Totally useless Speed slow, latency high & data restricted. Back to 4G Asked NBN to remove equipment “costs will start from $420 but it can be significantly higher than this”

  • headkittens Phohohoebe - Full Cream (@headkittens) reported

    the nbn is transphobic HFC sucks!!!

  • MrTyddy Damien Tydd (@MrTyddy) reported

    @Telstra What about Factors affecting dissatisfaction with NBN bills @Telstra ? - inability to deliver full, subscribed service - non-disclosure of known delivery limitations

  • lizoluwi Liz Brown (@lizoluwi) reported

    @NBN_Australia I do but clearly there's something wrong on your end if every time rains hard or storm your system goes down There's a fault & no matter how many times your techs come out they clearly miss it. & your communication sucks. U don't talk to each other so same thing happens agsin

  • mickydinosaur micky (@mickydinosaur) reported

    @stanzachbruce @TimnaJacks @theage Anyone want to go down the NBN rabbit hole?

  • Augustusone2 Augustusone (@Augustusone2) reported

    @Telstra Read what i wrote you are as bad as compatriots in your fault centre. The NBN tech has replaced the NBN box which was blown by storm Friday and considering your router automatically cuts to 4g wifi backup how would an outage show up???????. Now its your router thats stuffed.

  • tron_applebaum Kawaii Prole 🦖🚬 (@tron_applebaum) reported

    Made a VERY dumb choice today to let the nbn guy take off his mask in my hot flat when he asked coz I was so grateful he was early & was handsome ( I left mine on and sprayed the house with Glen 20 & opened all the windows for half an hour before I took mine off again) SO STUPID

  • fusionmolly2 Fusion/Molly (@fusionmolly2) reported

    Fixed two nbn home phone lines today it must be the heat causing issues

  • bec_bec_becc bec⁷ ✙ 💙 🐻 ☀️ 💜 ✙ (@bec_bec_becc) reported

    3.5 hours of sleep only to wake up to the internet being down and now I might have to go into the office on a Saturday. I will never forgive the NBN for this

  • LintMusic Lint Music (@LintMusic) reported

    "A recent #nbn issue in your area has been resolved." No it ******* hasn't. Still down. Not my equipment or provider. Never is. Only ever NBN.

  • rtennantwood 𝚁𝚘𝚋𝚒𝚗 𝚃𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊𝚗𝚝-𝚆𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝙿𝚑𝙳 🌏 (@rtennantwood) reported

    My #NBN died last night during the electrical storm. Called tech support this morning. Yes, I've turned it off & on. Yes, I've tried different sockets. Yes, I've hit the reset button. Earliest they can get a techie out to me is 31 Dec. Hotspotting from the phone until then.

  • LegendsXV Alfie 🌹 (@LegendsXV) reported

    @NakeeeZe I’ve got the google mesh wifi man, with NBN Satellite. **** works well. Can game, stream, watch Netflix without issue. I’ve got 4 access points to cover my whole house.

  • HalideSystems Halide Systems (Australia) (@HalideSystems) reported

    @NBN_Australia's FTTN strikes again: 24 of 30 days with unreliable or no service. Faults with the copper in the street were fixed but yet again we're without service with at least 3 days before someone can look at it. @AlboMP, it's time to fast-track fibre for the Blue Mountains!

  • nickhort14 Nick Horton (@nickhort14) reported

    @NBN_Australia you got an outage in Currumbin, QLD.

  • Aussietranstara Tara #SaveSense8 #thankyoulucifer #doublevaxxed (@Aussietranstara) reported

    down the fixed lines and free up spectrum for people who really need it. Oh this was the ALP plan until we got our 2nd rate NBN. Now we have to roll fibre to replace the copper network thanks to the covid issues and everyone moving to working from home. So much for our

  • WmMelbourne MelbourneWM (@WmMelbourne) reported

    @FinancialReview I am in the same predicament. Hung on to my cable as long as I could, but must go by end of next month. Look at the 5G option, better speed guarantee than NBN. Shame @mrkrudd didn't understand that before committing Australia down the current NBN path.

  • heymartinphan Vanta (@heymartinphan) reported

    just got an ethernet connection only to be told that NBN is down and i have to self isolate from a close contact 🥲

  • jayjamesmoody Jay James-Moody (@jayjamesmoody) reported

    @NBN_Australia 2/2 prevent the box from failing. You still end up with the same issue: no service. It would be great to have a spare box on hand for such events. We’re heading into a week of storms and public holidays. Can you send me a spare box for when this one inevitably fails again?

  • Fr0gst3r Shane (@Fr0gst3r) reported

    @Telstra can we please have update on NBN outage for Belconnen, ACT. Received a text this morning saying there was an issue but there is no mention of this on the outage page.
