Ky Broome (@KyBroome35) reportedNBN is legit useless Says Wifi will be back on at 5:30pm on Tuesday only for it to roll around to 5pm and then its updated to 5:30pm on Wednesday. Get off your hands and fix the problem you created you absolute idiots
-
Phoenix Diamond (@_phoenix_btc) reported@TopherField I have a conspiratorial hypothesis that may interest you regarding NBN The backbone of the Australian military communications at home was a rotting copper wire network and needed to be replaced, but pitching the Australian public on spending billions on military getting a communications upgrade was a hard sell So instead the two majors went at each other on two different versions of the same dumb idea, fiber to the premises vs fiber to the node Now we have ****** fiber optics speeds because it's being speed capped with software, and ironically NBN is the same old HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coaxial) technology that Foxtel had installed for years 🫠

Kryptojigga🐐 (@kryptojigga) reported@nazzaokonkwo Millionaires in naira na millionaire? Because the value of a NBN now is -2. 5x under terrible Buharinomics. We are happy for the new entrants

GoodFellaBoi ➕ (Майк) 🏴☠️ 🇦🇺 🇺🇦 ( 🇳🇱 🇵🇱) (@GoodFellaBoiBoi) reported@showcallcrewing @NBN_Australia Nbn tech thinks i have a faulty nbn box inside or bad connection between the inside box and outside box. They are coming out quickly to get it sorted. Thank you nbn.

Eduardo Gallarza (@tandjgallarza) reported@colonelhogans You Idiot!... barking in the wrong tree!... ask your Thief Pathological Liar Albo... he promised transferracy in his Thief government, he can't even tell to anyone how much they already spend taxpayers money building solar and wind turbine. Even the NBN Gillard thief created.
-
HDex (@hdex) reported@NBN_Australia maintenance in my area to improve network. OK fair enough, I'll just work using mobile data for a few hours. Checking the maintenance window ... 7 days! I'm sure my bill will reflect this fact /sarcasm
-
Harry Harrop (@harry_harrop) reportedMay be a possible delay tonight due to emergency nbn maintenance 😭 fingers crossed 🤞🏻
-
Marek Bage. (@MarekBage) reported@JohnnyLydon I just moved to a new NBN provider. While researching, Canstar, Whistleout and others just gave me the same handful of companies to choose from. After asking AI (both Grok and ChatGPT) I ended up with a huge list of potentials with some real good deals. Comparison sites are ****.
-
Winstonia Applecart - Suburban Slave🌈 (@WAppleyard) reported@Posterboy104 @TerpsMLC So just like what happened with the NBN with copper replacing fibre optic cost cutting that line will be forever a half arsed service.
-
LCHF Matt (@LCHF_Matt) reportedNBN is $75 for 25 Mbps and is constantly causing me problems.

Millicent Bystander (@trickyidnego) reportedWaiting for nbn person to fix my internet. Has been down for over 2 weeks. Today my provider will take $$$ from my account to pay for internet i haven't been able to access. Capitalism is a beautiful thing BTW other countries fix stuff on the day but hey, oi oi oi oi
-
Johnnymoo1969 (@johnnymoo1969) reported@MadsMelbourne Booked @NBN_Australia on Monday - said they’d be there between 8-12 - took day off and no one turned up - incompetent govt that doesn’t give a **** about people’s time - @Starlink here I come - FU NBN
-
Paul Galea (@VK4PWG) reported@TopherField I tried for 6 months to get my faulty NBN fixed (FTTN - copper/xdsl for the last 0.9km). NBN blamed the retailer who blamed NBN. I gave up and put in Starlink and have never looked back (4 years ago). NBN dug up the street 2 years ago to install fibre to the premises - I have a pit at the boundary of my property. My property is marked as 'NBN Ready'. Problem is that they never actaully pulled any fibre in the street !! The NBN is a huge scam.
-
Mike Dupont (@introsp3ctor) reported@JDRedding new books network, they discuss a book about those topics. the nbn is an academic podcast sponsored by gambling and pharma industry that snickers and laughs at plebs and avocates for the violent overthrow of the government. its a great listen if you want to know how people think.
-
Mitchell Costin (@mitchell_costin) reportedWho else is experiencing **** internet speeds after 7pm? By 10 pm it's almost impossible to get pages to load up and and have a smooth social media experience. Bloody diabolical. I'm on the verge of ditching the NBN and going Starlink. 😠😠
-
Abbie 🇮🇱🇺🇸 (@AbbieXAcc) reported@Avichaivegas @JakeTurx NBN is such a waste. I am here for 30+ years and seen so many Americans who moved to Israel without any aid from any group (before NBN) who due to finances were forced to leave after learning the language, building businesses, having kids, etc. NBN wouldn't help any of them!

RedPocatto (@RedPocatto) reported@kicksupport Australia NBN did me *****… Internet was down for 4 days. My streak is destroyed. 😭👍
-
Never vote LNP. (@LNPvoterfail) reported@GusLefty The LNP let the NDIS run away. Deliberately in an attempt to make it unsustainable and shut it down. It's what they do. Medicare. NBN. Veterans. Robodebt.
-
Hudson (@Hudson11630916) reported@PatrickGormanMP Labor will bankruptcy the country on that hill but never say how they will fund it just like NBN blow out and the unfundedNDIS let alone the states debts racked up the LNP had pay for as Labor now claims the LNP created the trillion dollar debt.
-
mick (@MickM_68) reported@Suburbia3121 I’ve had it for a while now Andy… you won’t be surprised to know the NBN in Romsey is crap! lol Starlink obv not the cheapest but it’s been an absolute game changer for us.
-
🌸 Rita Gee ♥ 🇦🇺 (@Riogallica) reported@NBN_Australia is a joke. For the 2nd time in 2 wks my connection is down - their fault. They can't come out to fix it till next Monday! If I can find a reputable @STARLINK installer in my regional area, I'd be thankful (Jervis Bay NSW). I'm past climbing on roofs these days. Any recommentations? My @telstra hot spotting is the pits.
-
just another dude who lifts and does math (@100poundsmuscle) reported@MythThrazz @Tqlax21 @Favwontmiss I have to get NBN. I live with my aunt and she thinks the internet is something that floats around in the air. 4g coverage here is poor. 5g isn’t much better.
-
Peter OBrien (@PeterOB24979769) reported@MrKRudd Imagine listening to the idiot who gave us the NBN. Cost billions. Did nothing. And now Starlink supersedes it with faster speeds, total coverage and zero cost to the taxpayer. Kev, you’re a numbskull.
-
Bill O’Slarty-Bartfast (@Klaartu) reported@isaacfloyd13 @johngar45721 And the NBN ****-up was the LNP trying to protect Murdoch.
-
Mark A (@MarkA5859) reportedI really am angry the LNP rooted the NBN. Now I have to seriously consider Musk’s Starlink for my Internet especially since both Telstra & Optus have & are having issues.
-
Kribby 🦊🔥 Soulfire Kitsune (@KribbyVT) reportedWhen my internet stops conking out I will be UNSTOPPABLE… but until then I sit in the corner and sob 🥺 nbn please fix it
-
Darryl Bain🦘🇦🇺🇺🇦🇨🇦🐻 (@DarrylBain1967) reported@HappyPawsTreats @Ben_Davison1 Put it this way, after 9 years of a Coalition that built bugger all, left few if any lasting legacies, doubled our debt BEFORE a global pandemic, offended our biggest trading partner, blew many billions changing positions of submarines, drones, energy policy, NBN. NEVER again!
-
Tính (@tinhtrann) reported@cb_doge The rural numbers are the real story imo. NBN was supposed to fix that gap and Starlink just walked in and did it faster.
-
Hamish Kibblewhite (@rutjumper) reported@aaronsmith @jommy_tee To my mind this is decision is less technically competent as choosing to go for a copper NBN rather than fibre As believable a solution as carbon capture and storage
