  • tw1tteringclass Canowindra Curmudgeon (@tw1tteringclass) reported

    @NBN_Australia I would have thought the diversity award should have gone the NBN contractors from Canberra who fixed our NBN so well we have had no issues since. Didn't have a word of Eng between them but sign lang was enough. Problem had defied efforts of 7 or 8 techos previously.

  • PinkysMusing Pinky (@PinkysMusing) reported

    From @Telstra: "We are giving your more mobile data whilst we repair your NBN!" Reality: "Our cheap modem antenna can barely get signal, you will be lucky to get dial-up speeds" I want a commission into Junk Backup Internet @acccgovau, for rural customers, a rip off and useless

  • anthony45052793 anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported

    @FlannelNot @QandA @abcnews he used mobile data, not a home fixed line service, claims he was in an NBN blackspot <the result of more of his government's incompetence> heard he was running a christian video streaming service over it.

  • EntrustIct Entrust ICT (@EntrustIct) reported

    Entrust ICT advise that upstream carrier engineers have been despatched, and are working to resolve the issue at the NBN POI in Tullamarine as a matter of urgency.

  • Polluxoce Pollux (@Polluxoce) reported

    @betterbushcomms @Cassara71 @NBN_Australia Starlink is only made for people that don't have any other options or have very **** satellite or fixed wireless services. Yes the dish is very expensive but that's what you get when a company wants you to pay equipment outright

  • cj_in_aus CJ (@cj_in_aus) reported

    @NBN_Australia @Telstra Shame of the outage that’s affecting Mentone, whether planned or unplanned, I didn’t get any advice. Great for working from home and Black Friday sales 🙄🙁

  • robtclements Robert Clements (@robtclements) reported

    Person from the NBN here to fix my internet. It's been out for more than a week. It took me that long to face my internet provider's staff in the Phillipines

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @mssquiggs65 I'm sorry to hear you are still experiencing network issues. Are you able to confirm if this fault is related to your NBN or mobile data service? Please DM us your full residential address so we can assist you further. Thank you -Tigs

  • sev_romero Sev Romero (@sev_romero) reported

    @NBN_Australia Classic NBN gaslighting. My set up is fine, the problem is your infrastructure that has me 1.3km on decaying copper lines from the node. Only you can fix it.

  • sev_romero Sev Romero (@sev_romero) reported

    @NBN_Australia It has already been 5 years! And still more vague promises and no help to fix your issue. Nope I'm writing to the Minister instead.

  • Polluxoce Pollux (@Polluxoce) reported

    @Cassara71 @NBN_Australia I'm also waiting for a fixed wireless upgrade because the only issue I have with starlink is livestreaming to twitch or YouTube. It can barely hold a solid bitrate but besides that I can do everything else better then when I was on the congested fixed wireless tower

  • kherzii_ EXO Kherzii (@kherzii_) reported

    @NBN_Australia It has been over 4 months now, can't believe I'm still waiting for an issue like this.

  • EntrustIct Entrust ICT (@EntrustIct) reported

    Entrust ICT advise some services attached to the NBN POI at Tullamarine may be experiencing connectivity issues. This issue is under investigation by the upstream carriers engineers, and updates will be posted in an hour.

  • sharanjit Sharanjit Paddam (@sharanjit) reported

    Monday morning. @Telstra modem box providing NBN service dies. Find out because kids are screaming. Message Telstra. I keep repeating the modem box is bricked, but doesn’t matter we go through all the steps and then they say. Your modem is broken. I’ll order you a new one! 1/n

  • live_in_gal_pal LM. ✨ (@live_in_gal_pal) reported

    My nbn dropped out at 12 which is half way through my work day and it will just not reconnect 🙃 and the trouble shooting is like “if the network icon is flashing blue it’s connecting so just wait” except it’s been doing that for 45 minutes

  • PinkysMusing Pinky (@PinkysMusing) reported

    @Telstra Results: NBN Fail Outage: Pass

  • Brutuz1000and1 Elon Musk's Sagging ******* (@Brutuz1000and1) reported

    @NBN_Australia If the outage in my area is planned, why did I only find out after checking why my internet wasn't reconnecting?

  • yorieb_ YorieB (@yorieb_) reported

    @TwikTV @LHP64D A shutdown??? Wtf NBN don't they know how important Tuesday is!!

  • Superlative71 Blair McQuade (@Superlative71) reported

    @NBN_Australia @Foxtel @VodafoneAU is there an outage affecting the Ryde area?

  • kherzii_ EXO Kherzii (@kherzii_) reported

    @NBN_Australia I have been waiting 4 months for your technicians to do connect some lines or something in the complex I'm at. I was last updated like 2 - 3 weeks ago regarding the time of when this would happen and was never even given a solid date, same thing was said previous month.

  • mrspinchbeck christine ellison (@mrspinchbeck) reported from Twin Waters, State of Queensland

    @iiNet It seems to be an NBN outage, confirmed by local computer co. It might take a while.

  • sev_romero Sev Romero (@sev_romero) reported

    @NBN_Australia My suburb is not included and there is no timeline for when it will be. I've been waiting 5 years for you to fix it. What do I do???

  • mediamafiosa Carts (@mediamafiosa) reported

    @NBN_Australia one of you technicians visited today. Just before he left, I said the internet is not working. He said it wld be on in 5mins and left. From drop outs, I have no internet. How does a technician leave without ensuring the it works? Why no new booking after six hours

  • NewtonMark @NewtonMark@eigenmagic.net (@NewtonMark) reported

    @stilgherrian If I bought the exact same box from BestBuy in the US and plugged it into a Comcast cable, it’d have normal software which would give network health readouts when I pointed a web browser at it. NBNco paid them to get rid of that, so every fault needs a NBN technician truck roll.

  • TheVeryRealKad Kad Dad YOUTUBE GAMING (@TheVeryRealKad) reported

    @NBN_Australia 7 days in a row there's been outages in my area of Canberra, Kambah. Your techs "fix" the issue and its breaks the next day. Maybe get better band aids or actually fix the problem? 7...days..in a row. I work from home and this severely impacts my ability to do so!

  • dylan_jb1 Dylan (@dylan_jb1) reported

    NBN outage for 5 hours 😟

  • BulletMagnetMan Tarquin Farquhar (@BulletMagnetMan) reported

    @NBN_Australia Might be handy if you actually supplied a decent network eh? FTTN is still hot garbage. #NBNMafia

  • TheresePatti Therese Patti (@TheresePatti) reported

    @NBN_Australia when do you plan on restoring network connectivity to parts of Heidelberg, VIC? It’s been over 9 hours now.

  • actualeyez 🐀 Cacatua galerita (NOVID) (@actualeyez) reported

    @NewtonMark @NBN_Australia Retailer response to consumer: - “we’re so sorry to hear your zoom call dropped out” - “no NBN outages in your area” - turn off:on modem - find an Ethernet cable and connect it to your modem - oh, it’s working now so must be a problem with your wireless router

  • burgotastic Tim ( (@burgotastic) reported

    @kaatieee27 I went as high as 20gb last month and that’s solely because my nbn was down for two weeks and I have two small children with debilitating Netflix addictions. No other month has come near that.
