Spider Mother Gwen (@GwenMotherS) reported@ClioAite Could be a nbn formating issue call ur provider and check something hasnt gone sideways with ur modems formatting or connection to the wider nbn network
-
Sista Cate Ruth ♿ (@SistaRuthDOPD) reportedOur NBN is on the fritz so our ISP has thrown us back to 4G. My med prescriptions have somehow been ballsed up. The $160 monitor we had to get for our cat isn't working. It never ends. Why is it so hard? And I wonder, why can't anyone just do their jobs competently any more?
-
Roz🌹✌️🕊☮️✨️💜🎶💎 (@rozywhitelight) reportedWe pay the highest costs for our nbn, fttb etc yet our services are substandard, yet again, service provision in Australia fails dismally. I have made 3 calls, long wait times, non local call centre operators ie offshored. Right when Australians need jobs to pay expensive living
-
birdof paradox (@birdof_paradox) reported@Olfella @FetchStep @Vikkik88 Australia's National Carrier should never have been privatised. Nor any of our other services infrastructure. Telstra was sold by, and the NBN ******-up by the Howard/Abbott/Turnbull govts (and Murdoch) so we could be ripped off and suffer the inferior services by private telcos.

Michael Grant (@Amunous) reported@real_joshkent @VoteLewko @Starlink What nbn are you on? There are many different versions so you can’t just say nbn is bad across the board.
-
capt.zen.petabyte 🇦🇺🏴☠️ (@capt_petabyte) reportedHey @beourmate MateNBN, I have had zero NBN in my unit for around an hr now, currently using 4G on my mobile. App states nil services issues or outages. Cycled modem + NBN box, still ZERO. No emails from you about scheduled outages? Whats going on? CC @NBN_Australia
-
peter rowe (@Prowerock1) reported@Martywa467 @VoteLewko @Starlink NBN faults are dealt with via the telcos. After four cancelled appointments by NBN after Telstra said it was an NBN issue ( it was), I bought a Telstra 5G router and threw out the NBN box. I would prefer Starlink but it has a congestion charge in our area of $700.
-
mutantmonkeybutt (@60YOGamer) reported@PaulBongiorno Try living in rural Vic and getting an Australian made fixed satellite NBN service. Up until Starlink our snowfields resembled dial-up and we could not watch a streaming service without the loading circle popping up every minute or two.
-
malcolm angus (@malcolmangus1) reported@greghammo69 @DarcyAmaroo he is also imitating Abbott .No cuts to Pensions, educ or health NBN 25 megabytes per second by 2016? Linked pensions to wages growth not indexation !Did you scorn him too for his multiple broken promises ? they all do it

Evans Electric (@tsport100) reportedA guy moved into a new apartment. Only “official” internet was FTTN NBN — $90/month for a pathetic 30 Mbps down max. He called Telstra and Optus. Both said “5G Fixed Wireless not available at your address.” He checked a cell tower map anyway. Half a dozen towers within a couple km. Bought a GL.iNet GL-X3000NR 5G router + built a DIY 4x4 MIMO LPDA external antenna. Result? 800 Mbps download / 170 Mbps upload. 25x faster. $75/month. Same building. Here’s exactly how he did it 🧵
-
Con! (@c0n_AU) reported@BeauGiles Typically, no. For the cost of a backup device/SIM/NBN or even Starlink, it would pay for itself in an hour of an outage like this!
-
Mitchell Costin (@mitchell_costin) reported@RobERussell1 @FranMooMoo Yes it is. I did some checking&at the moment I'm better off staying with the NBN network. I have told this to Elon many times,but I never get an answer. Same goes for his paid premium subscription to X. It sounds reasonable in American dollars, but that explodes in our currency.
-
John Murdoch (@jscmurdo) reported@ausnuc_ian It was a Press release waiting for a business case that never eventuated. That's how the LNP operated. Don't get me started on the NBN catostrophe. Another example of the great economic managers.
-
Orstraya (@orstraya) reported@FarCueCunce Contractor for NBN Co. My olds were hooked up 10yrs ago and while they used the existing Telstra conduit to the house, the inside install was terrible - left a big hole in the wall behind the NTU, which let spiders into the house until I found it years later and patched it up.
-
David Havyatt (@havyatt) reported@RizviAbul Do people in remote cattle stations get assistance? Did anyone see the tv show Keeping Up with the Jones’s. The big remote stations are big businesses. But yes we support them with flying doctor,, school of the air, satellite NBN. 1/2
-
Hayley Katona (@HayleyKatona) reported@Fiances_ We’ve improved the state of every property we’ve rented (built gardens, mostly). But yet, rent goes up and up and up. Currently dealing with a $300 bill for installing an NBN fibre box inside which increases internet speed 10 fold, and the landlord is making us relocate it for the amazing low price of $770 (wants it moved 2 metres down the wall it’s on). Ugh
-
Viscount Dave, The Vaxed (@ExpertOracle) reported@NBN_Australia G'day! We are renovating and need to replace an early NBN FTTP box and power supply with the new NBN box. Our ISP says to contact you, but there is nothing on your website that addresses this issue. Please help!
-
Ferrousoxide (@Ferrousoxi29174) reported@lesstenny Terdbull is full of ****. Just look at the failure of the NBN and Snowy Hydro 2.0.
-
Werner Kasselman (@wernerk_au) reportedTo be fair. The LNP destroyed what we could have had with the NBN. And you’re comparing jellyfish with drongos. These are different solutions for different problems.
-
Michael Ryan (@mickr62) reported@optus_help hi. I have had an issue with your sales chat team putting me on the wrong NBN plan
-
Darren (@DoodyDarren) reported@ianclarkeAU @CovfefeDnUnder The NBN cannot do it now, but the optic fibres it uses can. Only the gear at either end changes. There is not a wireless system in existence that could carry the existing load of the NBN, let alone future needs. Talk to a network engineer, please.
-
anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported@twensor @FetchStep sadly its totally on form for telstra. remember when a small fire in their chatswood building took out the national SMS network. where i live telstra, nbn, optus and vodafone are all on a 4 hour battery backup, while essential energy schedules regular 8 hour outages.
-
Spider Mother Gwen (@GwenMotherS) reportedlines we are tunning in the nbn these days AUSTRALIA SUCKS FOR INTERNET this has taken a big toll on my mental as i am now stressed out about debut having issues and ruining my hard work that i am trying to put into it sorry late message
-
Peter Dewar (@PeterD84508) reported@timritchie It was failed PM John Howard that sold off Telstra to the tax payers that already owned it. A disgraceful act when we also needed to upgrade to the optic fibre network at the same time. The LNP / Foxtel version of the NBN was another disgraceful failure ....
-
Richard (@R4dicalCentrist) reportedTrue. NBN Co is the picture of efficiency and never suffers outages or coverage issues.
-
Somebody SAVE pop music please (@jaykay287) reportedMy parents love NBN News, my sister and I love the rewind segment at the end of the Sunday bulletin. Moving NBN news to a half hour before the Sydney bulletin is a god damn joke.
-
Hobbie (@Hobbie4C) reported@VoteLewko @Starlink Govt/Telcos/NBN spent billuons of taxpayer dollars to build a rubbish service. Starlink does way better at zero taxpayer expense. So government response to this is to spend more dollars on their unworkable rubbish. I can't think of a better argument why big government needs to go
-
The Solitary Reaper @YonSolitary is my old account (@ContactVVR) reported@Celicagirl6 @johncurtin @VodafoneAU Thank you 🙏 Hope you also got connectivity back. My nbn was working. I was thinking of cancelling it & sticking with VodaFail coz nbn is too expensive. Thank God i didnt cancel it. I would have been left with no way to even verify if the problem was with my phone or VodaFail
-
brad 🇦🇺 (@Patriot__au) reported@leftright314 The nbn was dead before it even started. Putting a 1970's tech in the ground in the 2000's was retarded. But now we are going to waste more money trying for peak retard. Putting up a 3rd rate satellite network with a bloke who rockets blow up before launch. Typical labor.

Patrice Henri (@PatricioHenrio) reportedthe NBN was never even finished
