  • beatdown155 Damien Brown (@beatdown155) reported

    @deeganblake @sym_long @NBN_Australia We had to use that for nearly 4 years because NBN was always “not far away” and we never had a drama.

  • Higgo74 Higgo (@Higgo74) reported

    How stable is your internet? Every other day I have to tether my computer to my phone (telstra 4G) for internet, despite my computer being hardwired to my router-NBN. Reset router, reset NBN box, restart computer. No permanent solution. Roll on 5G coverage FFS

  • jschew1 Jonathan Chew (@jschew1) reported

    @NBN_Australia Tick tock. Tick tock. Original problem lodged 25 January. Still no resolution.

  • Lynny_Pinnie 💧Georgie Boy (@Lynny_Pinnie) reported

    @garigalAnj @GregHuntMP @abcnews It’s NBN all over again. Under this Govt we get the worst Internet speeds, 63% Covid coverage and Rapists are free to ****! #ElectionNow #ScottyKnew #vaccinerorts

  • jopereira71 Jo (@jopereira71) reported

    @telstra NBN $90 plan not such a great service when paying top dollar for supposed best plan on the market. Regular Drop outs and poor upload speed. What’s worst they are impossible to contact as always long wait cues.

  • UpLateGeek UpLateGeek (@UpLateGeek) reported

    @smh As a network engineer forced to work full time from the office since July because my home nbn was constantly dropping out, I can honestly say @TurnbullMalcolm was 100% wrong about FTTP & switching the to copper. The authors of his "strategic review" admitted they got it wrong.

  • michael_wilde1 Michael Wilde (@michael_wilde1) reported

    @smh Soon the satellite NBN will become pointless to use as a lot will switch to the Elon Musk's superior Starlink network. Their fixed wireless towers are congested. If only they listened to Kevin instead of working out ways to get rid of him. FTTP is the best way forward.

  • emusandbasil Balsam ****** (@emusandbasil) reported

    @MRowlandMP And any criticism of NBN co now, the LNP say, “don’t you remember NBN co was set up by the labor govt so you should direct your questions at them”. 0 accountability, the worst.

  • Greggreenwood17 Greg greenwood (@Greggreenwood17) reported

    @JohnEClements @TonyHWindsor Of course it would have been cheaper @TurnbullMalcolm was doing as he was told by his overlords! Mal had no interest in providing a first world NBN. Tha LNP never do anything to make life better for the majority. They only do things to enrich their bosses!

  • duncanbourne 💧****** бот Strumpet (@duncanbourne) reported

    @MRowlandMP @TKoutsantonisMP After the destruction of education by scrapping the original Gonski plan the destruction of the NBN should go down in history as the worst thing the #LNPscum have done. Reducing their citizens to serfdom one bastard action at a time.

  • lifeandlarder Life and Larder (@lifeandlarder) reported

    @smh Months wait for installation. No service in between? Is this the 21st century? @NBN_Australia

  • linc_tweets lin c (@linc_tweets) reported

    @Optus what is going on ? Our nbn just cut out and won’t come back. It’s awesome when you’re wfh. 😠

  • MarkAClarkson Mark Alfred Clarkson (@MarkAClarkson) reported

    @MRowlandMP @fitzhunter It was never about the cost of a full fibre rollout. It was about allowing incumbent players to sell their obsolete copper based systems to @NBN_Australia for billions instead of writing them off, and allowing government to claim that they had some value.

  • Higgo74 Higgo (@Higgo74) reported

    @au_glenn TPG. I have tried every trouble shoot I can. Tired of it. Can't wait for 5G coverage in my area, I'll be ditching NBN

  • CrabL0RD CrankyCrabs (@CrabL0RD) reported

    @HelenWornham @DanielBleakley Elon Musk just made his Starlink service open for orders in my area. The nbn is already obsolete

  • bgregs84 Brett Gregory (@bgregs84) reported

    @Higgo74 @au_glenn Hmm I've had similar issues with TPG, goes through stages of constant drop-outs (every 5 min connect/disconnect) which might last from an afternoon to a few days. The one time they sent NBN out to investigate of course it worked perfectly

  • tech_is_dead Dr Elizabeth Stark (@tech_is_dead) reported

    also - shoutout to @TPG_Telecom tech staff who have been really helpful and were chasing @NBN_Australia to register the fix hadn't worked, even before I rang this morning

  • AaronVersace Aaron Versace (@AaronVersace) reported

    @NBN_Australia we have existing NBN at our place and have rolled over to Telstra. Connection was booked for early January and still not connected! Telstra is blaming NBN and there is no way to talk to the NBN! This is just ridiculous! Can you please help

  • woopdedoo652 I'm a Unicorn (@woopdedoo652) reported

    @NBN_Australia @Higgo74 Don't bother, they will get you to message them and then just tell you to go to your provider! They have commented on every post I've ever mentioned our bad internet on (before it improved) and not once were the slightest bit helpful.

  • NBN_Australia nbn™ Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @YkEnigma Hi there, we're sorry to hear that you've had issues with your service. As nbn is the wholesaler of the network, we cannot directly raise a service request for you, however your provider can do this on your behalf to the internal nbn support team for assistance.1/2

  • GedyeMarian Marian Gedye (@GedyeMarian) reported

    N Swan calling it. Pfizer & Astra Zeneca protect against🦠. AZ useless against S Africa variant so that means opening up international borders will be a big risk. AZ less effective at protecting against variants. Mixed delivery NBN fail, mixed delivery vaccine fail, what’s next?

  • zbucket2 zbucket (@zbucket2) reported

    @Telstra aged kids, no access to NBN, terrible download speeds, even with $1200 of external antenna i had to pay for. Why don't you have an exemption for people like us?

  • CarolynGilholme Carolyn Gilholme (@CarolynGilholme) reported

    @jean15849180 Report to be made on ABC7.30 tonight. Seems most Australians will be getting the LNP NBN version of vaccine, not effective against the new variants of covid, meaning no overseas travel, and bad if the African variant makes it to Australia.

  • zbucket2 zbucket (@zbucket2) reported

    @Telstra aged kids, no access to NBN, terrible download speeds, even with $1200 of external antenna i had to pay for.  Why don't you have an exemption for people like us?

  • MrMokoPoko1 MrMokoPoko (@MrMokoPoko1) reported

    @smh I've just signed up for Starlink. The NBN really could have set up Australia for a good start to this new digital era. The way it has been butchered has resulted in just money down the drain.

  • pixel_morph wolf - 🐺 Neutral evil (@pixel_morph) reported

    @alexwantscoffee @firstdogonmoon @iMusing agreed - while FB aint exactly a saint our government has a track history of not actually understanding the internet.. some famous examples being ( census web, that healthcare app, data breaches.. the NBN , metadata retention ..) its bad policy by digital illiterates..

  • dhriti72 Dhriti Basu Mallik (@dhriti72) reported

    @Grampa_Ivy I know I know. old Aussie bloke, in times of rescission. Australia has been hard hit. Adelaide the worst performing city in normal times let alone these ones. Not much to do. So let's twitter. How is the NBN, hope it is not giving you troubles Get some real work mate

  • obsoletenerd Sen (@obsoletenerd) reported

    @NanoRaptor Maybe @NBN_Australia could swap out their fiber network with this? At least it'd be faster and more reliable than what I currently get.

  • intouchfornow Andrea (@intouchfornow) reported

    @alexwantscoffee @NickRossTech It’s maddening. Just had our 2nd neighbourhood NBN outage in 3 days. Going 5G/4G as soon as..

  • enfoqueluz Brad F (@enfoqueluz) reported

    @NBN_Australia I have the fastest service money can buy. This is not the provider, as much it is either your crap infrastructure that is already obsolete or a need for your to provide more bandwidth.
