  • K_Blake9 Blake (@K_Blake9) reported

    @Optus @NBN_Australia technician was a no-show. NBN service still not working and took the afternoon off to be here for the appointment. Absolute joke

  • merooroger Meroo (@merooroger) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help warning to all potential Foxtel NBN customers. Don't do it, my service was supposed to have been connected Monday 22 March 2021 and 9 days later still no broadband connection for what should have been a basic switch of ISP from Telstra. They even overcharged me.

  • nikolidos nikoS (@nikolidos) reported

    @matt_j_parker @NBN_Australia Hey matt i know this is probably a bit late but did you end up getting your issue fixed? Been having a very similar issue the past 2 weeks, NBN tech came out and changed nothing..... Was just curious if you just changed isp or rode it out.

  • andyjeier Andy (@andyjeier) reported

    @Telstra why are you blaming @NBN_Australia for the current internet outage in 3156? That’s pretty poor form. NBN had issues yesterday, but that was resolved this morning. Telstra still has the outage until 2/3/21 (at this stage) I’m sure this will be pushed out further.

  • PhilipH97456919 Harizon88 (@PhilipH97456919) reported

    @XTweeptweep01 @heidimur Don't spread misinformation idiot. They should be able to do that if the federal government rolled out their vaccines better than they rolled out NBN

  • Phaellynn Phaellynn (@Phaellynn) reported

    @Hullafuzza @Telstra Our nbn is also out. Looks like all of Ferntree Gully Vic. The website says there is an outage and it was supposed to be restored by 3:00am this morning (Wed 31/3) but it’s still out at 8:20am and the website hasn’t been updated. What’s happening?

  • nikolidos nikoS (@nikolidos) reported

    @maystation4 @iiNet Hey mate did you end up getting your problem sorted? Have been having a similar issue myself. NBN tech even came out to my area and still dropping out

  • K_Blake9 Blake (@K_Blake9) reported

    Anyone ever had this issue with their NBN? - Power light was green (normal) - Optical light was flashing green (normal) - Uni-D was flashing amber (normal) - Router said connected to the internet - Yet you can’t connect to the internet at all on any device? @Optus

  • triplezerotv Leigh (@triplezerotv) reported

    yeehaw @NBN_Australia issues again. Getting several drop outs throughout the day but apparently it’s ‘not enough’ for them to give a **** & they keep rejecting the support tickets. I can’t work from home, stream or play multiplayer games with drop outs it’s ******.

  • dragons2194 Joe REDV YNWA (@dragons2194) reported

    @K_Blake9 @jdrama68 @Optus Had the same problem as well a few months back except I couldn’t reach anyone from Telstra..thing that worked for me was turning the power off the nbn box from the power outlet, unplug the power cable for about 30 seconds from the NBN box, put it back in and switch the power on

  • Jynx100k Jynx 🐷 (@Jynx100k) reported

    Got an appointment with nbn on Monday for them to fix my internet, so should be able to stream again then, hopefully they don’t cancel

  • andyjeier Andy (@andyjeier) reported

    @NBN_Australia any updates on the outage in Ferntree Gully? Would be great to know the cause and expected ETA when services will be restored. FYI, I’ve already checked your outages website so no need to copy the link back to me.

  • 3uroh euroh🕺 (@3uroh) reported

    @NBNClan @tacmade ok? answer my question wtf is a NBN

  • nikolidos nikoS (@nikolidos) reported

    @maystation4 @iiNet That really sucks, she called me about an hour after the NBN techs came and did absolutely nothing and said she will get back to me on the ticket so assuming im going to get the same treatment.... Its disgraceful really

  • NBN_Australia nbn™ Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @Sascha_Hutcho Hi Sascha, we completely understand getting connected as soon as possible. We recommend your provider follow up with the support team regarding a rescheduled appt. They're welcome to contact nbn directly on your behalf using their internal channels. Regards, Maya

  • deemadigan Dee Madigan (@deemadigan) reported

    @NBN_Australia Nah, the quality of the nbn begins with how it is delivered to the street and house. Using copper wire (in some case very old copper wire) instead of fibre optic cable to the premises is a really stupid idea

  • greentone123 Greentone (@greentone123) reported

    @CaseyBriggs @ScottRhodie We deserve to know the supply data its public $$ paying for vaccines and (some) of us voted these inept people into office. ******** ups are endless - subs, frigates, NBN, vaccine, quarantine, returning residents, indigenous affairs, job keeper, media diversity, environment..

  • Frankie2193 Frank (@Frankie2193) reported

    @K_Blake9 @Optus Last 2 days I’ve had issue with my Optus nbn.. as you said all connected but no internet on phones /laptops ..

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @K_Blake9 We are sorry to hear you're having some issues with your NBN service. Please send us a DM along with your internet username/ landline number and full address as we'd like to look into this for you. Kristy

  • boymc Dave McPherson ⛰️🏃🏽👨🏽‍🚒 (@boymc) reported

    @NBN_Australia Nope. Your technicians broke my internet and left. I'm on the phone to the amazing @Aussie_BB. The ONLY issues I've ever had in 2 years with the NBN have been NBN techs breaking it at the pit out the front.

  • brobson_politic Ben Robson (@brobson_politic) reported

    @NBN_Australia Why does @NBN_Australia think boiler-plate responses are appropriate? - This was -not- a planned outage! - This was -not- a provider outage! - This -was- an NBNCo unplanned outage of around 14 hours. Customer satisfaction comes from expectation management & transparency.

  • andyjeier Andy (@andyjeier) reported

    @NBN_Australia Thanks for your help. @Telstra have now confirmed after trying to deny, the current NBN fault in Ferntree Gully is a Telstra issue with line upgrades. Although Telstra’s ETA keeps being pushed back, I’m sure we will have internet access again some time this year.

  • alexlouden Alex Louden (@alexlouden) reported

    @KaiBrach maybe they should get the nbn rollout team to help

  • GSmithWA Gregory Smith (@GSmithWA) reported

    @deemadigan @NBN_Australia Hey. Best to get specific. Have you done and actual speed test? Who is your provider. Chances are you are getting at least 50Mbps from NBN (which in my house supports 3 people video streaming) but your home wifi is poor.

  • boymc Dave McPherson ⛰️🏃🏽👨🏽‍🚒 (@boymc) reported

    @NBN_Australia @Aussie_BB We're now raising a ticket and a complaint with you. Your techs come here and break the internet. I'm left on mobile data because of your technicians.

  • NBN_Australia nbn™ Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @Grant17008651 Sorry to hear your service is affected by the unplanned outage, Grant. Have you raised this with your provider? For more detailed information, including a timeframe, your provider would need to log your service loss to their nbn support teams. 1/2

  • Larrymclarry71 Larry (@Larrymclarry71) reported

    @MarkMcGowanMP @MarkMcGowanMP can WA have its own fast broadband network so we can get rid of the ridiculous NBN?

  • matpinder måf (@matpinder) reported

    @NBN_Australia Are you having issues in Paddington NSW?
