    @josiegirl62 Make them all isolate at home and hope their NBN is as **** as everyone else’s and we don’t hear from them for 14 days?

  • CharmsYahoo 🐝CharmsVic🍩🍩 (@CharmsYahoo) reported

    @Lady_Melli_ NBN not bad enough

  • SimulatedMedia 24/7 PC / Racing Simulator Updates (@SimulatedMedia) reported

    @NBN_Australia @sydney_festival @BangarraDance fix your nbn number and have staff there to actually take calls.

  • ShaunRatcliff Shaun Ratcliff (@ShaunRatcliff) reported

    @Optus @NBN_Australia I've been talking to your helpdesk, but we're a little tired of repeating ourselves to your customer service operators. I know it's not the helpdesk staff's fault, but there has only been one day in the past week where we've had un-interrupted internet access

  • plumcraig75 Plumcraig75 (@plumcraig75) reported

    @hollieahughes @QandA The only time in the history of the @NBN_Australia that we really needed it to drop out or slow down and it didnt

  • pcoo Patrick Coorey (@pcoo) reported

    NBN down for anyone else?

  • AdamMcNamara_ Adam (@AdamMcNamara_) reported

    @SBSNews High Tech meaning they use NBN & the delay in use of the building is due to internet issues.

  • sanderling68 Dave Swims // Get Salty // Stay Salty 🇦🇺🇺🇸 (@sanderling68) reported

    Hey @telstra seems your NBN service has **** the bed in Sydney. Our box is on the blink and the wireless backup is no better than a 14.4 modem.

  • MichelleStende6 Michelle Stender (@MichelleStende6) reported

    @Telstra my elderly parents in Geelong metro are frustrated by your service. NBN is being rolled out in their area and twice now Telstra have made appointments to attend, with a 4 hour window. On both occasions no one turned up. No phone call, no apology.

  • ShaunRatcliff Shaun Ratcliff (@ShaunRatcliff) reported

    @Optus @NBN_Australia this is out tenth outage this year. honestly, considering you are selling a service you clearly cannot provide, there may be a case for the telecommunications ombudsman

  • JoyAndreadakis Joy Andreadakis (@JoyAndreadakis) reported

    @always_farmer @kelly_rdc Agree the landline is so annoying, the nbn hopeless, we tried it, then cancelled it. We are lucky to have a good mobile service, but understand your frustration,. When you need it, it drops out, but allows every other goose to ring trying to sell stuff around 6pm.

  • kaurafn kaura (@kaurafn) reported

    @Telstra @zorie im running of adsl+ still so i mean if u can arrange nbn in my area im down

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    then @NBN_Australia went down for 30 mins right when I was trying to extend volume size of my server so server could run again after having full disk so used 4G Huawei wifi hotspot for accessing internet while NBN was coming back up again - everything happened at once!

  • ShaunRatcliff Shaun Ratcliff (@ShaunRatcliff) reported

    @Optus @NBN_Australia we have lost our home internet twice in the past week. we had a technician over to fix the problem Tuesday and two days later it has stopped working again. this isn't really acceptable

  • etzrimon שירה (@etzrimon) reported

    @TweetrHatesMe I haven't, because I am poor and housebound in rural West Wales. When I made it clear in my email exchange to the JA pre-pandemic that I can't pay for myself, they literally stopped replying to me. Also in 2012 I'd received an email from NBN saying that 1/2

  • a_mittyy blame wars 👉🤷‍♂️👈 (@a_mittyy) reported

    @JuleSqueek @NSWHealth Hi. Just letting you know that Turnbull's NBN doesn't cover your 1 bar of 3G signal on Virgin Mobile.

  • Brett_over_it Number8Wire (@Brett_over_it) reported

    @EmergencyBK @NBN_Australia @PaulFletcherMP Telstra also provides NBN. But I obviously misread your original Tweet. Thing is, we're all in the same boat with crap "services" provided by profit driven arseholes

  • oErrorCode1 oErrorCode 🇦🇺 (@oErrorCode1) reported

    @BravingWarrior Can you send some to Aus our internet for country needs a boost. Aus NBN sucks..

  • h_81 H_81 (@h_81) reported

    @Foxtel Why would anyone support the bastard that botched NBN and left us with our worse than developing country internet we have today? Go to hell.

  • jendowli (((Jen Dowling -- she/her ))) (@jendowli) reported

    You asked, .@Telstra - I have to work from home and in the middle of an essential meeting my NBN has cut out twice.

  • VanessaLucches3 Vanessa Lucchesi (@VanessaLucches3) reported

    @BSFootball @DimitriPeppas_ @lionsman33 I’d appreciate any sort of help! I thought it was bad NBN but apparently we just have the basic package of internet with iiNet! And it SUCKS

  • m1tchAU mitch (@m1tchAU) reported

    @Telstra @Telstra follow me for using your nbn service

  • DesignsByXavier Designs By Xavier (@DesignsByXavier) reported

    @Telstra I really need some help. I have Telstra velocity where I am and have complained multiple times asking for nbn to be put in my area and they said 12 months but it’s been 21 months since they said 12 and still nothing. Please send help

  • macylulu12 momo (@macylulu12) reported

    @youarepurpled nah like honestly nbn here doesn't do ****. its still effin slow 😭

  • Tazhys Tazhys (@Tazhys) reported

    @NBN_Australia My service works fine now but whoever came should've added cable casing on

  • stephengentle Stephen Gentle (@stephengentle) reported

    @QuentinDempster @PaulFletcherMP Yes, and as Minister for Communications he’s also managed to do absolutely nothing to fix the huge problems the LNP’s disastrous broadband policy caused the NBN…

  • mickcruickshank TheLocalBoy (@mickcruickshank) reported

    @Telstra We have had the worst experience calling Telstra over these past 2 weeks. Everytime get a different story and a different number to call. Our aerial lead-in cable is physically discontinued, but no-one will send a technician. instead we're asked to check the lights on the nbn box

  • frsurjo Fazley Rabbi (@frsurjo) reported

    @BelongAU hey guys. I don’t have nbn from midday. Sent message to your support guys , After trouble shooting asked me to buy new cable. I did and it’s not working.I wfh full time and you don’t even have a phone support. Should I change to another provider?

  • newcastleboyy Fearless Friend (@newcastleboyy) reported

    @stufromoz father has exetel NBN service back and i tested the phone, it rang. Charlestown NSW

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    I thought Amazon Web Services was down in my DC but then found my NBN was down with red light on internet as I could not ping from my machine past router - it is amazing how many things can go wrong at once - it takes a while to get to root cause - luckily I had logs over time
