  • Lachiebuzz Lachie Buszard (@Lachiebuzz) reported

    Hey @Telstra I’ve tried to play nice, but I have spent over an hour communicating with a bot about NBN connection -it does not understand & is frankly wasting my time. I’ve even private msged your socials crew & they sent me to the same bot. Your service is a shambles @andy_penn

  • rajuvd Raju Dudam (@rajuvd) reported

    @dwightwalker Me too having same issue with NBN, after modem restart my NBN worked for couple of minutes and then went down again. It's completely inconsistent for last hour or so. Long waiting time in connecting to support on phone.

  • ashkbne Ash ☁️ (@ashkbne) reported

    @NBN_Australia If only @Telstra would acknowledge their network sucks in my area, I might be able to use 5g to do some work... but only 1 bar, useless

  • DavidDeex David Deex (@DavidDeex) reported

    @MrKRudd Raised an important issue regarding the NBN yesterday. It's important to reiterate that this is an essential service and should not be sold off, indeed, it should be fixed and expanded. It's also too costly for some to afford broadband right now, and we need solutions.

  • LocalNews4051 DM Girt Williams (@LocalNews4051) reported

    So the @NBN_Australia out again in downtown 4051… Look I’m glad they do regualr maintennance [meaning connections down again] so the connection can last a week. Lets bring the #NBN to 1st world standard not just tighten the rubberbands again @AussieBroadband

  • kmsh1897 kms (@kmsh1897) reported

    @TPG_Telecom is there an outage for NBN service in Wentworthville, NSW?

  • HeykimberT heykimberTwitch (@HeykimberT) reported

    Aaaaand there goes the nbn. Rip internet, patiently waiting for it to come back up to start stream. Will keep you guys posted. Worst case scenario we stream tomorrow x.x

  • DavidDeex David Deex (@DavidDeex) reported

    The solutions are varied, but we can't trust the market to deliver broadband. The NBN can sell wholesale to ISPs, but can't sell/provide internet directly to Australians or act as an ISP. This was a bad decision by the government to set it up like that, and a failing ever since.

  • TravGee1980 Travis (@TravGee1980) reported

    .@Telstra Given you have advised FTTP NBN cannot be connected to my address despite your smart modem being connected and visible as a WiFi network, it is time to bid you farewell. Adios #FibretotheNO #NBNfail #ThisisNOThowweconnect

  • behrooz_hm Dr Behrooz Hassani-M (@behrooz_hm) reported

    @Nic3218 Not bad, definitely better than the NBN

  • wuckfhistles wuckfhistles (@wuckfhistles) reported

    @NBN_Australia service failures, requiring hardware replacement are not a 'scheduled outage' and sending an sms saying it is, is misleading and false. Service down since 1pm for the 'scheduled outage' you told. Me about at 108pm.

  • JudiJudihum Judi (@JudiJudihum) reported

    @martyk40 @Raf_Epstein @Telstra We had this problem - is it NBN? When we insisted (through Telstra) that someone from NBN attended the property, it turned out that it had not been connected properly.

  • SantoshGoulikar Santosh (@SantoshGoulikar) reported

    @Optus #HorribleService Optus NBN is the worst. Been on back to back calls with customer support for hours since morning. Didn’t help at all. Each you call you have explain from start. You have to ask for ticket number. All the call back assurances are false. $79 a month

  • AusTransparency AusPolTransparency (@AusTransparency) reported

    @QuentinDempster @NBN_Australia @MrKRudd Monopolies should never be in private hands

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    my Exetel #NBN went down again and nothing responded - ssh or my site or youtube - reset ZTE modem and internet worked again

  • Philip_Roper Philip Roper (@Philip_Roper) reported

    @DoctorKarl Is your current copper connection unreliable because of its physical condition, or because of the equipment run by the service provider at the other end? My copper NBN connection works really well at 44 Mb/s and we're 50 km from Melbourne.

  • David52578899 David (@David52578899) reported

    @DoctorKarl Gotta love the gall of the NBN Co, won’t supply the service, but hey you can buy it for $16000+ Fibre to the premise should have been supplied in the first place.

  • MonteHuebsch Monte Huebsch (@MonteHuebsch) reported

    @DoctorKarl Use 4G or 5G. NBN fibre is poor.

  • DavidDeex David Deex (@DavidDeex) reported

    The growing digital divide is a concern, and it's a source of inequality. If people can't afford to access the NBN, then they miss out on so much. Children need it to learn. The pandemic has shown us that things need fixing. Let's fix them.

  • zioreturns Zioreturns #BoomSqaudron #Treasurefriends (@zioreturns) reported

    @libertydownundr ooh what will they do cut off the nbn dial up is better then that ****

  • UsWar6 Us War (@UsWar6) reported

    @NBN_Australia Yeah you could it's called removing FTTN/FW as a network solution

  • tyfrost Ty Frost (@tyfrost) reported

    @samanthamaiden Considering the NBN in this country it wouldn’t surprise me if there wasn’t a secured network available in Sydney. Maybe he needed a break from the family?

  • surround77 Glenn............... (@surround77) reported

    @NBN_Australia @ashkbne We`ve just come back online after approx 30 hrs of no internet due to ``Maintenance``.Please provide a feasible explanation as to why such a long outage.Elderly people in lockdown cannot access home food deliveries.

  • Bradley_Saint_B Bradley Saint B (@Bradley_Saint_B) reported

    @NBN_Australia The person I spoke to on the phone earlier today wasn't prepared to accept my complaint, and told me it couldn't be investigated from your end. But I've DMd the details.

  • CamuiKushi Camui Kushi 🇦🇺🍃🐕 (@CamuiKushi) reported

    @LycheeDayou I’m with Optus and while I wanna complain most of the issues I’ve had have ACTUALLY been with NBN Co and out of Optus’ hands.

  • damana Mana (@damana) reported

    @ScottRhodie Ooh, can you help me with my NBN connection before you turn into a pumpkin?

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @winnydotcom @nbn Hi Winny - apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Can you please DM us your address so that we can assist with the slow speeds. Aman

  • AiTeeKs Teeks (@AiTeeKs) reported

    @superloopnet hi i need help with a new nbn . ive connected twice . dropped out twice, currently waiting for 1 hour since the second drop out , any chance on getting help ?

  • CutAdriftFromOz Justa Guy (@CutAdriftFromOz) reported

    @DoctorKarl Or… get 5G modem & plan. Problem solved. Why’d we build this nbn thing again?

  • ashkbne Ash ☁️ (@ashkbne) reported

    Nothing like an 'emergency' @NBN_Australia outage when you're in the middle of a teleconf working from home.
