    @Dudemanchew @SkyNewsAust @stuartrobertmp Yes before he got caught. He blamed internet connectivity....but his missus & he sells religious tours to Israel. About $6K a pop. Lots of video chats & downloading GOD from heaven.... probably explains the connectivity issues. Crap NBN up there, probably copper to the node.

    I hate Australia’s NBN. Current speed is 2.4mbps. I’ve had constant problems with Iprimus. Ongoing for 7 weeks. Sick of contacting call centre. Thinking of breeding pigeons as an alternative. @iPrimusAU #nbn @NBN_Australia

    Dear @Telstra @NBN_Australia thanks for canceling my order for a thing you’re forcing me to do because you don’t read your own customer notes. Really appreciate your incompetence and the inconvenience you’ve caused me. Idiots 😒

    So apparently NBN is down for quite a few areas in different states, good work making it not only slow but unreliable.

    @LAMcCormick @NBN_Australia Exactly. It’s so hard to pick, at times there are some providers are so far ahead of the rest, and other times where they’re competing for who is worst. We’re hoping this last month and a 1/2 is refunded - the service was shocking!

    Come on @internode. Been a customer for years and referred so many to you. But to email you on Tuesday about my NBN being on and off and still haven’t heard back. It’s Saturday night.

    @amywhodigital @Archaeometry Ugh. We’re going down the prepaid 4g modem route and praying for nbn soon. I don’t understand why all of this is so hard especially for you in the CBD!!

    @Aussie_BB Awesome, thanks for the update! Curious, this would have still been a problem if my NBN connection would have been FTTP (instead of FTTC) or it didn't really matter in the end?

    @mattbowd @NBN_Australia I can’t even stream TV our current connection is so bad as we’re 4 kms from the Adelaide CBD. It’s ridiculous.

    @thebeerbeagle @EE You could stay in Australia and have access to @Telstra's #5G network and the ever so reliable #NBN. Or just move @TwoTribesBrew HQ to Adelaide for @CityofAdelaide's 10 gigabyte, most connected city in the world.

    @GamersNexus @HardwareUnboxed Though I've got mine on a special early-bird deal, pay 30AUD for like 55GB per month. Though am using the Optus network so it's usually congested during the day and only get 50/20Mbps with my S10+ in the middle of the night xD Which is the same speed as my NBN :P

    @NBN_Australia hey team just tried calling your operations centre as my address is missing or incorrect but got a message to say your lines are down. Any eta on when I can speak to someone to sort out my address?

    So @telstra there are three weeks before I am going holiday and I would like my mother to have access to the outside world. I am officially at my wits end over your incompetence and lack of customer service. #nbn #telstra

    Yep techno booby fail. Turn the Wifi off to use the 5G mobile phone network. Duh. Upgrading home nbn to fibre to the node. Not as simple as plugging in the new modem. @BjWittwer Busy waiting for ISP to do their thing, whatever that is. Lol.

    msau (@msignau) reported

    @robb_j_m This of course ended up driving the total cost of the NBN through the roof as they had to take on copper lines that had not been maintained properly for over a decade & assemble a franken-network copper, fibre & HFC networks that had massive maintenance costs.

  • StefanVXR8

    @NBN_Australia @iiNet Why is my internet connection like something from a 3rd world country? The connection is up and down like a prostitutes knickers! I live in Empire Bay, NSW, not feckin Outback Australia!!

  • some0nethere
    some0nethere (@some0nethere) reported

    @OMGTheMess I am an EV driver, but I do not think others should be paying for it. Perhaps if the government invested in standing up a government owned charger network that had a sound business case and sold it later, that might be ok. However, that was what NBN was supposed to do with internet...

  • BluntHonesty4
    BluntHonesty 🇦🇺🤝🇮🇱 (@BluntHonesty4) reported

    @trsrpc For context. Australia's NBN is still be rolled out years after it was sold as the best thing ever... Yet many have incredibly unstable internet or none at all.

  • mez_spy
    Mary Spy (@mez_spy) reported

    @AjaxXanthe See if you can get extra mobile data from your provider. We had an NBN issue a couple of years ago & not sorted for more than 2 weeks. We could get additional data on mobiles or a dongle for home

  • baiaphilia
    Baiaphilia (@baiaphilia) reported

    What happened was what always happens when it's a project run by the government. It failed miserably, and went way over budget. The NBN was so bad I begged my provider to give me back my previous internet connection. But they couldn't because they forced them to shut it down.

  • mrr78504
    MR Reilly (@mrr78504) reported

    @econoadabsurdam @LeeRespecter The NBN might plausibly have increased productivity if it had retained its original scope (A FTTN fibre backbone network independent of Telstra that would allow telecommunication companies to compete on an equal footing). Instead it got rolled out first in Tasmania.

  • DoodyDarren
    Darren (@DoodyDarren) reported

    @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.
