  • amy_eatssyd Amy Zhong (@amy_eatssyd) reported

    Called @TPG_Telecom re **** NBN speed to be told that wifi signals don’t travel through walls and doors...

  • terrydunphy68 terry dunphy (@terrydunphy68) reported

    Hello @Telstra. I must admit NBN is the worst thing I have ever experienced in internet terms. I am fed up with constant dropouts. WiFi is beyond dreadful. On the old ADSL Never had these sorts of problems. WiFi goes from green to orange to nothing. Very disappointed.

  • aussiewongm Marcus Wong (@aussiewongm) reported

    @jxeeno Why take it offline when the quotes are all generated automatically? Or was the problem the number of people getting a quote and then following it up when th NBN?

  • NBN_Australia nbn™ Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @PistolRoberts Hi Pete, we’re aware of an issue impacting some nbn HFC services today. Our teams are working to resolve this issue and services are currently in the process of being restored. 1/2

  • petemullinsart Pete Mullins (@petemullinsart) reported

    @Optus its now been over 24 hours and internet has been >1mbps. Optus technical said it was NBN network issue affecting thousands. Keep getting messages saying your service is back online (still slow). Response time on chat and twitter 20-30mins min. I ring and left on hold 40min

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @jacktipper2003 Hi @Pitviper877, sorry about your internet connection issue. Is your connection NBN with us? If so then yes there was a fault reported on the network before. Kartik

  • LaurieGoodridge Evilridge (@LaurieGoodridge) reported

    @Optus day three with no internet in 2226. NBN is down and still showing up as “under investigation” in the Optus app. Getting okay download speed but zero upload, so it’s unusable. The chat function of the app is also broken. Any advice?

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @nickbrne Hi Nick. As advised, there is currently a known NBN outage affecting services across multiple states and our teams are working with NBN to get it resolved as quickly as possible. We do thank you for your patience while we rectify this. Casey

  • psg_au Peter (@psg_au) reported

    @NBN_Australia Oh, and by the way, WHERE is the HUGE speed improvement you promised me over the ADSL2+ Service I had ??? the ADSL2+ WAS faster..... Pitiful at best, If it was private enterprise, People would call it FRAUD & demand their money back....

  • tripleoxymoron Benjamin Ady (@tripleoxymoron) reported

    2/ Without a doubt, yours is the absolute worst customer service I've ever experienced in my entire 46 years. I'm amazed you're still in business, and hope that @SpaceXStarlink plus @NBN_Australia make you go bankrupt.

  • shortyljm Lynette Moore🎀 (@shortyljm) reported

    @InsidersABC @David_Speers @PaulFletcherMP Our communication network has failed. NBN is a total failure.

  • dangtvo Tan Dang Vo (@dangtvo) reported

    @iiNet any news on when I have my connection back? NBN said that it has resolved the outage for my area? Postcode 2197

  • thebosskar Oddish (@thebosskar) reported

    @NBN_Australia hi what’s going on with the nbn? It’s just not working for us is there an outage?

  • susan_immunodoc susan immunodoc (@susan_immunodoc) reported

    @Aussie_BB I’m in 4051 too. Same issue. NBN claims to have fixed the issue but is no better.

  • psg_au Peter (@psg_au) reported

    @NBN_Australia IT IS NOT OK for your Techs to review jobs from their office & decide there is no need to attend. IF Telstra and/or Optus Tech have attended site & decided THERE IS A PROBLEM, WHO ARE YOU TO CANCEL IT BECAUSE YOU "THINK" YOU KNOW BETTER?

  • robot_sir Sir Robot ADB 🦁 (@robot_sir) reported

    @Telstra Im frustrated with the download speed and connection issues. I drop packets and have a really high ping. Everywhere around us have nbn but because we have a community hub on my estate we cant get nbn

  • JanSummersalt Jan.....🤶🏻🍇🍷🍇🎅🏻 (@JanSummersalt) reported

    WTF is going on in #TheShire #NBN out since Friday. 🤬

  • iiNet iiNet (@iiNet) reported

    @billy50796688 Hi Billy - there was an outage within NBN's HFC network work today and whilst most sessions have returned, some customers are still offline. Please try an extended 10 minute powercycle of the NBN hardware if possible. - Leo

  • psg_au Peter (@psg_au) reported

    @JodiMcKayMP I love they way both Optus & Telstra come out and find a REAL problem with the NBN, refer it to them & then, on the day the NBN Tech, still in his office, decides its not a real problem, so s/he cancelled the appointment without telling anyone...

  • the_g_rant 💧 Rowan Rafferty (@the_g_rant) reported

    So @Telstra why is our #NBN not working, again. Have you cut it off again without reason? Truly pathetic service: "No outages in your area." Trust me, we're out. After battling for months we're a bit sick of this.

  • FeneleyJohn John Feneley (@FeneleyJohn) reported

    @NBN_Australia So NBN now advises they no longer need to do a service visit. They say it’s fixed—problem solved. I hope this doesn’t mean that an on again, off again service is considered ok

  • VanessaRiley61 💧Vanessa Riley (@VanessaRiley61) reported

    @JanSummersalt They told me when the NBN was put in there's a problem with the phone line in your house you will have to sort it out yourself.

  • dragonray Dragonray (@dragonray) reported

    @Telstra I want someone to resolve the nbn issue. We have been on this app for almost 2 hours without resolution or even a reason for the woeful download speeds . Paying $90 a month as a disabled pensioner to be treated like this is just pathetic.

    @eileen_1956 Hi Eileen, we’re aware of an issue impacting some nbn HFC services today. Our teams are working to resolve this issue and services are currently in the process of being restored. 1/2

  • dlutzy David Lutz (@dlutzy) reported

    @NBN_Australia Service was restored in less that 12 hours this time! Getting better.

  • petemullinsart Pete Mullins (@petemullinsart) reported

    @NBN_Australia No still getting pathetically slow speed. Optus keeps promising to get someone to contact me but nothing!!

  • mat5mann matmann (@mat5mann) reported

    @NBN_Australia seriously get stuffed. 3 days of **** after 3 years of ****. Pathetic company

  • latenitefilms Chris Hocking (@latenitefilms) reported

    @cailyoung @NBN_Australia I’m away from home but we got an SMS from Telstra this morning about NBN being down until tomorrow.

  • psg_au Peter (@psg_au) reported

    @NBN_Australia Pity there isn't an alternative, as I am sure Optus, Telstra and a bucket load of other internet providers wish there was... NBN have pitiful technical service and appalling customer service. Time for a HUGE Shake up!

  • processlayer SONIC???❤️🦆 (@processlayer) reported

    WHY DOES MY WIFI KEEP DISCONNECTING **ONLY** WHEN I WANT TO HANG WITH FRIENDS.....Damn you NBN!!
