  • SierraI07 Jack (@SierraI07) reported

    @Sir_JSB No - I'm with Superloop and have confirmed that my whole service is down for the count. I've rebooted both my router and my NBN box several times and nothing has changed - I don't even know if my internet will come back tonight.

  • KennyC22 Kenny Cox (@KennyC22) reported

    @dfinvitro I’m not the only one. Glad I seen all these post this arvo. Optus was going to send out a tech (and probably charge afterwards) to investigate the issue as I assumed my nbn was the issue. Ours Works with our modem on 4g back up but Same as you when my nbn is connected into the tv

  • andrew_fester Andrew Fester (@andrew_fester) reported

    @Telstra and @NBN_Australia can you make up your mind whose responsibility it is for NBN technicians not arriving?Telstra is saying NBN Co, then the NBN Co website says it’s Telstra? Either way the customer experience is atrocious.

  • MacrossFiru MacrossFiru (@MacrossFiru) reported

    can yall get your 5g vaccines so I can finally get decent 4gx signal where I live, we're rural so 5g is useless to us, and ffs theres too many "I cant use nbn" people on mobile data >:|

  • GAMESweetG ©GSG aka 𝒫𝑒𝓉𝑒𝓇 🛸Hope To Leave Earth (@GAMESweetG) reported

    NBN connection sorted & installed but that would be unlikely since our house is in a very bad condition with severe mold issues as well. Which wouldn't help with NBN installation etc.

  • Boweavel Aron Roach (@Boweavel) reported

    @sunriseon7 @tanya_plibersek @Barnaby_Joyce To bad Rudd didn't run for PM. we'd all be vaccinated and we'd have proper NBN as it was meant to be..

  • Chirp19OCE chirp19 (@Chirp19OCE) reported

    @OTriple8 @Bowragak @elonmusk I'm in south Gippsland waiting for starlink 38 south hopping it will come. NBN fixed wireless is garbage including I'm on a relay tower so its even worse

  • crowdiegal Just a Peanut with a Tweeter Account (@crowdiegal) reported

    @TimothyJ_23 Hahaha. "The NBN has crashed due to the overuse of the network by horny footballers. We apologise for the disruption. Normal service will be resumed as soon as the problem is fixed"

  • haimonas simon orme (@haimonas) reported

    @MrKRudd Would you also be able to fix the useless NBN, set up a Federal ICAC, unlock renewable electricity investment, and fix the domestic gas shortfall and high prices? There's a long list of comprehensive Ozgov abominations that need to be fixed.

  • warrenjmcdonald Warren McDonald (@warrenjmcdonald) reported

    .@telstra If you know you have an outage, please update your outages web site. Don't make us waste time all reporting it individually. Telstra NBN HFC been out since 11:30 AM today in South Western Sydney.

  • Dingo1957 David Ingleton 🐀 (@Dingo1957) reported

    @RockinRobyn48 @maureenchuck1 @australiapost Landline all runs through NBN now, I think. When NBN down there are no landlines.

  • dogsat45 Beats (@dogsat45) reported

    @noshamecreative @MyRepublicAU I've been getting this issue in glebe. I ended up getting in contact with the live chat and it was an issue with the NBN and I was told a technician may have to visit. Could be a similar issue for you?

  • CelerySorbet celerysorbet (@CelerySorbet) reported

    @joshua0 I was fortunate to get proper NBN to this address before his cuts came in. IMO it was unforgivable, he held an entire nation's economic development back to keep Rupert happy over Foxtel, safe from Netflix. It's as bad as funding gas and coal projects for the country's progress.

  • KennyC22 Kenny Cox (@KennyC22) reported

    @dfinvitro Was doing my head in. Wasted so much time the last 2 days changing cables, talking to Optus thinking it was a nbn issue. Cheers anyway. Saved me a possible charge for wasting a nbn techs time

  • Ajocall ocal (@Ajocall) reported

    @TPG_Telecom any issue with the nbn service in Darwin - my internet just dropped out unexpectedly about 2 hrs ago. I have rebooted and reset everything - called the help desk to no avail yet - desk couldn’t help I keep getting dns server not responding I can connect to my router.

  • JohnHyphenSmith John Smith (@JohnHyphenSmith) reported

    @MortyAUS Hi I’m Kevin and I’m here to help. The words nobody ever wants to hear after @MrKRudd drowned 4500 refugees, electrocuted 4 pink batts installers, ruined the NBN and plunged Australia into 110 years of debt after starting with a surplus and zero net debt.

  • the_scotsman_ the_scotsman_ (@the_scotsman_) reported

    Bloody Telstra, took 45 minutes in chat to simply get an NBN tech appt for my NBN issues. 5-10 minutes between "expert" responses. Likely working 10 other chats at once. And it was basically closed off with no confirmation of anything, until I asked. Piss poor customer service.

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    switched to 4G when Exetel NBN had very high latency to my server in USA and 4G was fast whereas NBN was slow

  • noshamecreative Rebekah Lambert aka Unashamedly Creative (@noshamecreative) reported

    @MyRepublicAU @dogsat45 Is there an issue with internet in Wollongong? Can't get on. No way to contact anyone because your chat is shut. Nbn co has no listed problem. Can you please update people properly?

  • curmz26 Josh (@curmz26) reported

    @Telstra Why would I escalate it to NBN when it's not my NBN. It's my mobile service.

  • enveebe Nick veeBee (@enveebe) reported

    Day 6 without internet! @NBN_Australia screwed up and cut us off by mistake. Who'd have thought a 15 min fix could take a week to organise. @TPG_Telecom seem to have zero influence in expediting the process.

  • joshua0 Magnetic Skin Leftist Bot (@joshua0) reported

    @CelerySorbet Totally agree with you on the NBN. I dare say any lib PM would have done the same damage but yeah, the lack of foresight and decisions to cheap out was extremely ******. I guess it’s just a thrill to see one of their own giving Morrison ****

  • marky_mark1971 Mark Bourne (@marky_mark1971) reported

    @Mr_Tushi_Gaming I live in Australia. The government implemented a national broadband network (NBN) in 2013 that initially had fibre to the premise (FTTP) for blazing fast internet. Instead we ended up with a fibre to the node NBN which struggles to sustain 10 to 15 Mbps.

  • DocWSJames Doc 黄 🐀💧why do we have a PM who smirks & shirks. (@DocWSJames) reported

    @Ianrob12 @MarkDeasy70 @MrKRudd Can’t be because of Internet issues if he’s at ‘home’ didn’t he get the full security & nbn upgrade last time he moved?

  • TPG_Telecom TPG (@TPG_Telecom) reported

    @enveebe We've already raised a complaint to the NBN Co, one of our provisioning case managers will contact you as soon as we get a feedback from the NBN. We apologise for the inconvenience. -Mc
