    Its bullshit that you have to pay the NBN installation fee and not the landlord. Like fine **** you then when I leave im ripping all that **** out cause I paid for it

  • up_fem FedUpFem 💜🤍💚 💉 🟥 (@up_fem) reported

    @Optus unbelievably NBN down again today in 3194

  • DalePearce3 Dale Pearce (@DalePearce3) reported

    Media is full of ‘challenges facing the Labor government’. Could they not stop for a moment and remind Australians what a mess the LNP created, that Labor now has to clean up? Water, govt debt, energy, health, education, the public service, NBN, NDIS, climate change…. #insiders

  • TchhhTchhhh Marc de Cazanove (@TchhhTchhhh) reported

    @SaysGypsy Can the government introduce a law that allows the ACCC to fine any company, providing telephone customer service/support, that doesn't reply personally to the caller within 15 minutes. This would create more jobs improve service and stop NBN congestion.

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @AlCaynes NBN are already aware of this and their technicians are working to fix it as soon as possible. There is no time frame for resolution at the moment. Apologies for the inconvenience. Kartik

  • JasonLe81229540 Jason Lee (@JasonLe81229540) reported

    @Telstra to investigate does the NBN sends a NBN technician then if they can't find the NBN connection fault (issue) or NBN conclude it is a Telstra issue then NBN asks Telstra to send a Telstra technician to check (test) everything

  • ultimablackmage Jean-Paul Bartolomei (@ultimablackmage) reported

    @MichaelWestBiz @kwingerei Funny that. I don't use NBN because of how piss poor the service is in my area since it's FTTC. I went with 5G Home Broadband instead which for the most part is more reliable & it's faster too. Until the whole network is gigabit fibre, they're competitors will gain ground.

    @DubbyaNB If NBN are reporting an issue at your address then they will be aware of the problem and will be working to resolve it. Without your details I'm unable to look into this further or provide further details, however - Chris

  • DubbyaNB WB (@DubbyaNB) reported

    @Internode @NBN_Australia 7.5 hour outage (2570), what’s going on?

  • CelticKnight86 CelticKnight (@CelticKnight86) reported

    @Foxtel $60 to watch the fights Only to have Kayo stutter through the whole damn thing. Every two minutes or so. Streaming on a 50mbit NBN connection. Don't think we'll do this again!!

  • melissamadsen Melissa Madsen (@melissamadsen) reported

    @Internode We now appear to have two useless white bricks. AND NO INTERNET! So we are shopping around now for a new temporary 5G wireless service until the NBN is connected. Not happy, Jan.

  • nicolejensen Nicole Jensen (@nicolejensen) reported

    @Aussie_BB @NBN_Australia hey team what is going on? It’s been more than 6 hours since the outage in SEQ started and no update for almost 3..?

  • Sheeds_au Sheeds (@Sheeds_au) reported

    Pretty disappointing chat experience with your @Optus NBN Broadband agent. Not believing the customer. Poor knowledge and slow to process an escalation request. Not helpful at all. Gigbabit speeds slowed to less than dial-up with no explanation.

  • ShriekingVi 🐀Proud Lefty Sewer Rat🐀 (@ShriekingVi) reported

    @008moonside @PaulBongiorno Yes, never forget how Turnbull as Communications Minister broke Labor's NBN to the public for Murdoch, then demanded Labor's NBN to his personal residence at the taxpayer's expense.

  • TropicsFNT Tropics (@TropicsFNT) reported

    @leolobob @kodexoce So basically my mumand dad said I will never get internet and it was like that for 2 months so I gave up on playing 60 ping hotspot and decided to quit Then the next day I wake up and my mum and dad say that there getting nbn the day after the quit tweet so now I’ll be good ping

  • StevensAsh Ashley Stevens (@StevensAsh) reported

    @Feeney4Batman @newscorpaus Just prove what idiots you are Tweeting crap like this. You left the LNP with $440 Bil turnaround in debt with unfunded NBN, NDIS, Gonski garbage debt bombs which have a present value of $680 Bil so you don't get to preach debt & deficits. Only fools are on the Left #auspol

    @MacForest2 @BrianBellia Your man was really on fire: Botched submarine deal Said '**** happens' at ADF soldier death Tried to up GST to 15% Fuel excise levy 38c/l and indexation Added 35% or $100B to debt in <2 yrs Got inferior NBN for $14B more He probably did some bad stuff too, but great record👍

    @Telstra NBN is saying my presmisss can already be upgraded and that I just need to contact Telstra. I clicked on the link and filled in the form and it won’t accept as all I need to do is upgrade my plan. The problem is Telstra website does not recognize my address as being upgraded.

  • parflokim parflokim (@parflokim) reported

    @Telstra why is it so hard to upgrade from NBN FTTN to NBN FTTP? I have received letters that I can upgrade and the nbn website says to contact you but when I go into the store or contact “gold” support I get silence? Why is it so hard to help your customers?

  • ASPaul85 Andrew Paul (@ASPaul85) reported

    Hey @Optus, we've been without NBN for around 24 hrs. The chat bot tells me that it doesn't know how long before it will be reconnected. It would be good to know to make plans to work from home or otherwise. Could you help me?
