  @eLFB57 @AusIndiMedia Yep Telstra upgrading network with optic fibre. LNP/Labor, must stop this! Bring in the Yanks, privatise, create NBN. Telstra stops & gives up. Those that have fibre lucky. The rest of us, too bad, pay for substandard crap! Don’t you just love privatisation.

  @Aussie_BB @DanGayfer @NBN_Australia Good on ya. But I bet you tell people to speak to their phone provider on faults. And that’s the start of the run around. You only provide the service & equipment to access. Not the medium where the faults are.

  @colinelvy11 @EBAR99999 @billshortenmp @westaustralian @Y7News @Riley7News @pollietracker @BasilZempilas WA the state of excitement, or Wait Awhile. Depends on the day & whether the NBN is on or down. 4g up or 3G standby. Same old same old

  @Peter_Strachan During an unplanned outage on the nbn network we keep your service provider up to date on all available updates like estimated restoration times and details of what's being done to fix the outage itself. As soon as we have any updates, we'll let your service provider know. 1/2

  @BrowntownBrew @robb_j_m In some cases. They would pay Telstra to use the pits, or Telstra itself would install fibre. This is an issue all over the world. We’re simply trading one monopoly (Telstra) for another (NBN). But there’s nothing to stop another company in theory from running their own fibre in dense areas - but not now of course, as they wouldn’t be allowed to undercut the NBN (hence the stupid NBN has actually made it so internet cannot be cheaper than how much they say it should be - law of unintended consequences - now the law is literally making cheap internet illegal).

  I'm paying about $100/month for Optus/NBN, and lose connection at least twice a week for a few hours. Today I got a text from Optus saying that they're trying, apparently so far unsuccessfully, to fix what they helpfully called fault 754885. Anyone know what on earth this?

  @robb_j_m I got nothing, NBN has killed all the independent providers that serves my community. I now get about 10mbps max through the mobile network if lucky.

  This is the argument for the #NBN few predicted: 1) Spend lots of money to build a national broadband network. 2) Spend even more money to make it Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) by default. 3) Private competitor pops up and offers comparable service, in more geographies, with zero Australian govt money. ....But where some are now (4a) Private competitor drives out public investment (4b) Private competitor CEO becomes hyper-partisan & divisive AND THEN (4c) They decide to use almost-monopoly power to hold citizens hostage with price increases. Kevin07 may have saved us, even if he didn't know it at the time.

  @comical_engr @EnergyWrapAU And the NDIS was created only a couple of months before the Abbott government was elected. The NBN had actually reached target per premises cost just as Abbott/Turnbull “paused” it. Their MTM system was ******** up.

  @yannikau2 @AmanogawaShiina Makes no difference to me. I ain't buying **** no point. Because Australia is governed by the mentally retarded I have been waiting for nbn the government run fiber network to connect my home internet since December amd still waiting.

  @NBN_Australia, I have had no NBN service since the 11th of April in Cottesloe, WA. The date for reconnection keeps moving out. Do you have any serious information on when it will return and what is the problem?

  @telstra reception in Vermont South (near Sewart close) is crap. I logged a call (INC 40508228) as a @Telstra Gold member 6 months ago, today they told me it was fixed. It ain’t fixed. Still no 4G/5G and I’m paying for 4G backup on my NBN modem. This is beyond a joke.

  To my Aussie friends: Wasn't the idea behind the NBN (National Broadband Network) to ensure that everyone had access to free (or at the very least inexpensive) internet? What happened? How much are you paying for internet access?
