    Australia’s biggest fumbles I have seen in my lifetime so far have been missing the boat on nuclear in the 90s (I don’t believe it is worth it today) and the NBN. Anyone who caused their poor outcomes should be strung up for it.

    @xShephardx Being a nerd here in Aus is like top 10 most emotionally excruciating experiences since my internet used to be 3 mb/s, which is actually a lie since my ISP throttled it down to 950kb/s. Thank **** for NBN since it's now like 62mb/s but gigabit internet would have me heavenbound.

    Been trying for weeks now to get a NBN service (FTTN) connected for my mother. But TPG who she was with, and who she had service moved with just gave her the run around. They said it was provisioned, yet no DSL sync light and trying to get that resolved went in circles.

    @smith_johnxxxx @Sauronlordking @VDejan0000 NBN was not a '**** up', until Abbott became PM.

    @5BNylonTip Kind of like the Coalition govt pumping FTTN tech for the NBN where we'd need Air Conditioned cabinets in the street to cool the active network gear, instead of just installing passive(ish) Fibre Optics. AU is not super intelligent when it comes to tech, from a govt perspective.

    Four days with no NBN. We were promised a fix today but the 4G network fell over from overuse instead. Thinking about investing in puppets and more paper books.

    @Peter_Fitz I was a Young Lib at UWA. Tea & Fairy Bread with Mal Fraser @ Sir Charles house. Volunteered. I was sliding but NBN was the last straw. AUS needed a statesman we got Abbott. :( Volunteer for an independant now. Unlikely to support libs ever again. If they are around that is.

    how is my wifi out for 10 HOURS for a maintenance man 💀💀 during peak work hours too, 2pm-midnight “NBN are doing emergency network maintenance between Fri 12th June 2026 14:00 AEST and Sat 13th June 2026 00:00 AEST.”

    @Ozzytourer The only thing that Labor has done that has worked if fixing the ******* mess they made with the NBN but in typical Labor fashion they want the internet to be censored because of "protecting kids" Well at least there's now an entire generation that'll never vote for the *****.

    @ruicharadrius This is the most retarded tweet I’ve ever seen. A) falsely thinks WiFi is “the internet” B) doesn’t realise Aussie mobile coverage is some of the best in the world C) NBN is good now. My guess is your WiFi router is crap or too small for your house

    @centralNRL Agree with the 4K sentiment. Biggest games like Origin & GF not on 4K is poor. Contrary to others my Kayo on 4K is reliable & have not converted to NBN yet.

    @Sauronlordking @VDejan0000 The day that CGT was introduced. That was really the end of Australia as we knew it. Hawke and Keating also introduced HECS and fees for higher degrees. This has evolved into the current absolute nightmare with massive fees and terrible quality education. NBN was another giant Labor **** up.

    @eevblog @MichaelSmicqfw Really? I think that was only in the context of your NBN being down for a week... Starlink (or any satellite internet) really isn't useful in a city like Sydney, and when lots of people insist on using it there it will only get more and more expensive. It is for rural areas.

    When I went into the carport, the light was on, the power point was turned off and the ethernet cable ripped out and the port was broken. He had taken the cover off the NBN box and that's what woke me up- when he was putting it back on. Pretty sure he was looking for a spare key

    Thats ok Country Australia doesn't move so fast Nor seem to be in a rush to adopt NBN, Or Starlink... Oh Hang on Smart farming seems to be quite the, In thing Out in the bush Question is Which robotic company will be filling Labor shortages first

    @timtheous Hey there, sorry to hear we've left you feeling this way after trying to upgrade your nbn technology type. I have passed on your feedback to the relevant teams to review for future improvements. I'd recommend reaching out to our Sales Team to further discuss your options. You can do so, via the Messaging service on the My Optus app or by calling them on 1800 508 000 (Mon - Fri: 9am - 7pm Sat - Sun: 9am - 5pm AEST). -Athan

    Was there an issue with the 4G/5G network in Melbourne, Victoria today?? It seems as I got out of the CBD the network improved but within the metropolitan areas there was issues?? @Starlink at home seems to be operating fine - anyone have NBN issues?

    @KurtsViews I have NBN FTTC here in QLD and even a tropical cyclone didn't cause my internet to go down.

  • mjmillar_1991
    Michael Millar (@mjmillar_1991) reported

    @tzk1810 100% there's some other kind of issue going on. I've been FTTN in a country town before and still able to pull 60 down. But if you really want good internet just drop NBN altogether and go Starlink. $75 100 down and nevwr skips a beat.

    I’m thankful I have NBN Fibre but even with that I will never use cloud gaming. why would the local computing die anyway? This AI craze will die quicker than the computer. Phones and laptops still need to be need built. What’s going to stop is that PCs will no longer be cheap

    @7NewsSydney @grok can you explain how a traditional landline can still call with no power, even though each telephony service is handed off from an NBN NTU, or DSLAM?

    Scott 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇦 (@skinthent) reported

    @ruicharadrius If your wifi is bad, get a different AP. It is exactly the same wifi standards used globally. Or do you mean your internet connection? That isn't wifi. I have FTTP NBN. It works fine.

    Black friends I served with in the military told me to watch out for *******. Being from Idaho I said it was a derogatory term for them wasn’t it? No, ******* are violent, irresponsible, parasites causing all the problems, stay away from them. One of them, Levi, always said NBN, ******* be ******* when there was trouble. I just listed to a couple of black females just as tired as the rest of us but threatening to orhanize against them.

    @AtomicEconomics So the Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison governments were all completely helpless and none of the debt was their fault? Even though they completely redesigned the NBN rollout? The NDIS is Labor’s fault even though it passed with the bipartisan support and was implemented by the LNP?

    @BassonBrain @Starlink Nationalist fools wasting taxpayers money. Imagine if every country wanted their own LEO constellation the performance would be poor it would be expensive and require endless subsidy's like Australia's NBN satellite service.
