  • Aussietranstara Tara #SaveSense8 #doublevaxxed 20/9/21 (@Aussietranstara) reported

    @Ausgrid has just let me know why @NBN_Australia has failed, fyi @DodoAustralia there is a blackout on the other side of town and nbn nodes connected to each other in a circular arrangement however nbn nodes fail to bypass the failed node so it pulls down the entire ring.

  • Aussietranstara Tara #SaveSense8 #doublevaxxed 20/9/21 (@Aussietranstara) reported

    @NBN_Australia Do you know how hard it is for us to trouble shoot your network when it is a black box. I have asked my ISP for you to do a cable inspection.

  • kels_316 Adam (@kels_316) reported

    @erfbeeass They’ve been helpful, it’s an NBN issue but they keep canceling the appointment to come out. They are totally ****. When the dude does turn up he’s getting both barrels.

  • CHellscape CDL's hellscape (@CHellscape) reported

  • Layzieboy6 layzieboy_666 (@Layzieboy6) reported

    @NBN_Australia hi was just wondering do your technicians use out dated navigation tools? I have been waiting since the 27/10/21 to be connected and my provider is telling me the issue is you can’t find my address.

  • joelpmichael 🎅 The Santa Waiter 🎅 (@joelpmichael) reported

    @kels_316 Just throw $10k at NBN and ask for the good **** (FTTP upgrade via the “technology choice program”)

  • Aussietranstara Tara #SaveSense8 #doublevaxxed 20/9/21 (@Aussietranstara) reported

    Yeah our @NBN_Australia is back up, totally awesome, we tried failing over to our 4G however corporate security policy made that impossible. I am talking to my ISP about getting NBN to inspect the pits our line passes over. Those pits have a history of water problems

  • kels_316 Adam (@kels_316) reported

    Lol ok once again it’s been escalated to NBN and mysteriously started working again. This time I’m calling the help desk while it’s working.

  • stinhambo Hambo (@stinhambo) reported

    @ScottRhodie There should be billboards reminding people every day about how much money LNP are pissing up the wall on piss poor implementations - JobSeeker, NBN, RoboDebt etc etc. Voters care about money apparently so make it all about that.

  • guru_nrl NRL Guru (@guru_nrl) reported

    @mim4m @david89293299 @abcnews It isn't ineptitude. That hides the truth of ultra capitalist dogma. Look at NBN. It was a no-brainer: build a fibre network for a digital future. But where in that common sense is the suggestion that, after taxes build the ONLY network we should then let retailers profit?

  • simonwaight Simon Waight (@simonwaight) reported

    Surely there is a massive market for a top grade NBN modem that doesn’t include wifi and all that other **** that they come with? What are the cool kids using?

  • SteveT_AU Stephen Turner (@SteveT_AU) reported

    @Asher_Wolf NBN is garbage because they made it a lottery. I'm in regional NSW and mine (after a lot of back and forth) has ended up pretty good, but for so many it hasn't. And you often can't do anything about it.

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @cramsay1976 Our Network Team has identified some NBN Issues in the area. We do apologize for the network disruptions. Please send us a DM if you are after some further assistance. Kristy (1/2)

  • detoxzr detox (@detoxzr) reported

    @MidgAU exactly telstra came through for me and nbn didnt do ****

  • simonwaight Simon Waight (@simonwaight) reported

    So, email from @TPG_Telecom telling me they are halving my @NBN_Australia upload speed (20 down from 40) for no good reason and that I’ll pay the same! What **** is this? I get 39 up almost all the time! Time for a change. Complete and utter bullshit.

  • darrenjrobinson Darren 'Doc' Robinson [MVP] (@darrenjrobinson) reported

    @simonwaight @TPG_Telecom @NBN_Australia You know when they say that when you switch to the NBN you can't switch back? Well after being on the NBN for a month with ****** service I'm back on Bigpond Cable. Again such a cluste#&$*)#$*

  • GerardWaldron1 Gerard Waldron (@GerardWaldron1) reported

    @cheryl_kernot I’m surprised the LNP hasn’t received more criticism over the performance of the NBN. Labor initiated national infrastructure project had a budget of $30bn? LNP said it was too expensive and we didn’t need fibre to the premises. Rubbish service thru Covid, an LNP cost reduction!

  • jarrod1975 Jarrod (@jarrod1975) reported

    @DangerousDaveW Yes, I was listening via my laptop. Maybe there was a problem with the stream, or could have just been a NBN issue. Dangerous, I thought it was strange. Anyway, have a good night.

  • G_D_Ison_Writer Grant says... I'm allowed to exist, and be hot. (@G_D_Ison_Writer) reported

    Still no home internet. Spent a total of 150 mins on the phone to the ISP over two days.. One doesn't know what the other is doing. Apparently a new modem has been sent. Apparently. NBN tech dude did nothing this morning. My phone as a hotspot is slow as. @Telstra @NBN_Australia

  • Commsday Grahame Lynch (@Commsday) reported

    @mongrel43 With respect you have completely missed all my points. NBN built substantial amounts of fibre in the regions and never planned it in rural areas. Nothing was massively transformed in the former and nothing was retarded in the latter. Your OT remains hyperbolic and inaccurate

  • tim_rust Tim Rust (@tim_rust) reported

    @kels_316 @erfbeeass I had problems with a FTTC service not synching (after working ok). The nbn tech found it was the double jumper hadn't been removed after cutover from the old dslam

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    backhoe operators can't destroy wireless like they can cut cables so easily and so repeatedly due to poor management of machinery by local council in #Caboolture #5G #4G @NBN_Australia

  • Tahliabrah Tahlia (@Tahliabrah) reported

    @BelongAU quick question. Why is my nbn not working when it says there are no outages in my area?

  • thepaintedease1 thepaintedeasel (@thepaintedease1) reported

    Well, the NBN has been an expensive(when it was supposed to be a less expensive substitute) let-down for our clever country... talk about repenting at leisure... while you wait... and wait...

  • mateoyoyo mat (@mateoyoyo) reported

    @TonyHWindsor @MrKRudd @TurnbullMalcolm Scumo is the worst but Turnbull killed the NBN and cost us twice the original 34 billion budget when we pull out the copper/nodes and do fibre as was originally planned He doesn't get a pass because scumo is so gross

  • GourmetMale GourmetMale - we had 19 months (@GourmetMale) reported

    @johnb78 4x. Or, the number of times I’ve had an NBN outage in the two months I’ve been back home.

  • kels_316 Adam (@kels_316) reported

    @joelpmichael yeah and perfectly coincided with me being on the phone to ABB and them escalating the issue to NBN again

  • Tekaxoxo Teka (@Tekaxoxo) reported

    @NBN_Australia Hours without NBN on “unplanned outages” are just not acceptable. Paying top money for a reliable, speedy connection and not getting the service! Not happy! 🤬

  • FreoLou FreoLou⚓🤘🛫⚖️ (@FreoLou) reported

    Received a letter from Telstra containing a refund cheque. I cannot work out if it is a scam or some sort (not sure how) or that I was one of the 50,000 customers it was made to refund for slow NBN.

  • rtaylor_4 Russell Taylor 🏳️‍🌈 (@rtaylor_4) reported

    @NBN_Australia Hi, when is the Tech Choice Program for a group opening up. I feel closing this and only having an individual premises is a massive money making scheme more than an “intricacy” issue. NBN FW is dog 💩.
