  • CA_22562_AN T:HE:JAMES. HMRH (@CA_22562_AN) reported

    @NBN_Australia Aussie Broadband think they can't answer for legal reasons, I guess network management doesn't reveal to them how many customers have one from their management interface. Can you possibly tell me if they seem to work okay with Aussie Broadband?

  • DavidWhan6 David Whan (@DavidWhan6) reported

    @samanthamaiden @ScottMorrisonMP @pmc_gov_au His NBN probably doesn't work properly

  • dabrown72 Darren Brown (@dabrown72) reported

    @Telstra_news So why do you put stupidly slow limits on your 5G services especially upload? I live 850m from a tower with two freq of 5G, but I’m not eligible for your 5G Home Broadband. Shall I stick with FTTP NBN which doesn’t work properly despite 3.5 years of complaints?

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @wakey74 Hey Paul, we are sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your NBN service, this is certainly not the experience we wish for our customers. Can you please send us a DM with your full address and/or case number so we can assist? Thanks - Mary

  • Kryten_42 Kryten42 (@Kryten_42) reported

    @LazySage7 I should be back watching your crazy fun YT vid's very soon. PC is still dead, & will be for awhile. I finally got my Dell W10 tablet online. I knew it was the WiFi on Netcomm NBN router that was the issue. Got a new & much better replacement! Got a USB-Ethernet adapter/hub. 👍

  • apparition100 Apparition100 (@apparition100) reported

    @Optus just wondering if there is any ETA on the nbn outage in my area?

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    found @NBN_Australia is coming out tomorrow to test line and my equipment to find fault - never ends till I move to a better area where infrastructure is good quality not rubbish like here in #Caboolture

  • MervtheMonster Paul (@MervtheMonster) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @PhilipBouchier @Terrytoo69 Telstra has always been crap . NBN is crap ! So many better high speed networks should have been optic fibre start to finish ! Bring back PMG things worked back then!

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    found via @exetel @nbn_australia did not turn up because they pinged my device and saw it was up so did not turn up but did not inform me they were not coming so I waited 8am-12pm and they never arrived - evil service regime in NBN - if up in future just leave house

  • desikitteh 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Mx Desi (disguised as a bus crash) 🦄 (@desikitteh) reported

    It's raining and the internet is down. Again. Any wonder @HereBeSaoirse calls the NBN here in Australia the national broken network? This is no outlier!

  • lukeweston Luke Weston (@lukeweston) reported

    @strangedevices1 NBN FTTN with existing copper phone lines from the node, no HFC. It’s incredible in 2022 we’re still running it on the same crap 50-year-old copper phone pair in many residences.

  • dabrown72 Darren Brown (@dabrown72) reported

    @Telstra_news How about you fix some of your @NBN_Australia issues in #Bendigo when I’ve been reporting problems with the 3BEN POI for 3.5 years. Not just me, I’ve spoken with many who complain of speed issues. Actually get a complaints resolution manager to resolve my many cases. Thanks.

  • wakey74 Paul W (@wakey74) reported

    @Optus having major nbn issues since Saturday. Even with a case open can't get any support

  • seccers El Seccerino (@seccers) reported

    @Penfanackapan @Sikamikanico Uhhhh yeah I worked for an ISP 7 years ago and the copper network was an unreliable hunk of garbage that was literally rotting out of the ground. If you need a reliable phone line due to medical issues NBN can provide it. Or use a mobile phone.

  • RyanWil62993886 Ryan Williams (@RyanWil62993886) reported

    @Telstra Good morning Zac, we have spoken twice before, you might recall I threatened to speak with Penn's office, 40 minute conversations and they only stuffed this whole issue up further, it all started when I asked why my mobile bill went up $11, from that they added another NBN $79?

  • ClownWorldDan DWB (@ClownWorldDan) reported

    @deathjab4 Have you tried a 4G modem? I refused to fall for the government sponsored NBN scam and went 4G. Fast AF, reliable, Telstra 400gb data only sim. You don't need an Internet Service Provider, you just need a data supplier.

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    found @NBN_Australia is cumbersome as they only deal with @exetel or ISP and I can't communicate with them except via calling Exetel who do nothing or very little to solve problem

  • shazzadut Sharon Matthews (@shazzadut) reported

    @MetalJesusRocks I have a landline, albeit via the National Broadband Network ((NBN) in Australia because despite living in Bankstown, less than 15km from the Sydney CBD, I can’t get a signal on a mobile, on any network…

  • Stephen59969382 Stephen (@Stephen59969382) reported

    @kentparktweet @VodafoneAU I wouldn't recommend any, and once again I put it down to the LNP, Labor had a brilliant NBN on the go, then the Libs came in and destroyed it. They've done absolutely nothing for the Australian ppl, except make our lives harder and miserable.

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    hard to fix fault - @exetel @NBN_Australia - always stuck with line going down every 3 mths due to poor copper and water in pit in #Caboolture

  • 25MMCC Ema The Rats Were Right🐀 (@25MMCC) reported

    @SEggminder @newscomauHQ @badministrator9 Abbott? Who smashed the nation-wide, world-leading NBN? And sent us back to a chewing-gum and chicken wire network? That will have to be replaced within the decade? Who left no legacy except this and an onion? That Tony Abbott?!

  • CA_22562_AN T:HE:JAMES. HMRH (@CA_22562_AN) reported

    The sort of information a company should have for network infrastructure management. @NBN_Australia

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    I was so disgusted at the poor service ethic at @NBN_Australia who did not tell me they were not coming because they pinged my device and saw it was up but did not tell me they were not coming, I switched off my working internet connection and went back to using #4G

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    I should have left device off till NBN technician arrived so they had to contact me or visit and could not ping ZTE modem and see it was up and cancel visit without telling me and waste my time like this due to using @NBN_Australia - so non-transparent and a monopoly

  • wyvernsrose Wyvernsrose🐲🐉🐔🐣🐈‍⬛ (@wyvernsrose) reported

    Ma'am I'm calling about your nbn Great then you would be my provider who are you? Ma'am there are over 500 providers If you are calling about the lines then there is only one nationally so who are you? *hang up* ******* scammers are running hot today

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    can't cancel @NBN_Australia visit on day via @exetel so they will find internet is up and no need to come

  • CazThomas8 CT Scamping (@CazThomas8) reported

    @codecarbon3 @tassieboy20 @smh Have you seen the cost blowouts & timeframe blowouts over the last decade of Government? Everything they did had them baked in. Anyone can Google it, from the NBN, Hwy upgrades to Snowy 2. This is a desperate attempt at stupid

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported

    found @NBN_Australia was up after being down on weekend for maintenance so need to cancel NBN visit but can't as @exetel call centre is not open till 8:30am

  • Charles06259566 CharlesE (@Charles06259566) reported

    @SophieScamps @TurnbullMalcolm Why is my NBN so poor #MiserableGhost

  • FrankiesWifey0 FrankiesBride (@FrankiesWifey0) reported

    @NBN_Australia Service call cancelled by @NBN_Australia and it’s now listed as a known outage, unfortunately though because it’s just our house there is no resolution time and it’s not a priority. You could have still had the technician come to see what the problem is…. Your service is a joke
