    @Aussie_BB I’ll have to call in later, but you definitely have the updated email as I’ve been getting invoices there for many months now. Is there a separate system that sends out the NBN outage notification that doesn’t just use current email on file?

    @ryan_racz @Stephen___Burns @SpaceX NBN compared to global partners, is already slow and out of date lol

    Hi @Telstra. My internet has been down for 3 weeks. The @NBN tech was a no show for the first appointment. Just had an SMS scheduling another appt for tomorrow. The @Telstra faults operater in Australia just hung up on me. If I ran my med practice that way, I would be in jail.

    Everyday I get an email about an emergency nbn outage

    *sigh* Yay first tier ISP support, more interested that they don't know my date of birth (for obvious BS "security" reasons. Supposedly escalated to NBN, which doesn't actually seem like the correct next step, but oh well.

    @DoctorKarl So sad that NBN is a fail completely system, rather than a Failsafe system.

    The nbn is down

    James Fridley (@fridley) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @Telstra still as useless as ever. Been trying to connect to the NBN since 2019 in a Sydney CBD office, and they cancel any new NBN order without even bothering to contact us.... O_o

  • MarkBilton
    Mark Bilton (@MarkBilton) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @Optus @nbn down in Turramurra. 4G working. Been out for over 1 hour. No message from @optus to customers. Work from here with international clients and rely on consistent internet access. Almost like a third world country. We have to do better. Imagine the productivity losses!

    @isaacfloyd13 @PaulFletcherMP So another $480m spend on NBN.....an NB that they fkcd.....double what they said spend, 2years late & we are now 22 down the list WW....A total FU......overpriced, underspeed & full of spin

    @R_Chirgwin That would as bad as a keynote address by Malcolm Turnbull on how he fixed the NBN.

    @DianneCostin NBN had been down 3 hours here. #LNP 101

    Thomas Rice (@thomasrice_au) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    Very few errors, and they were mainly names or technical terms. For example, "The R proof for off net MBN services" should be "The ARPU for off-net NBN services" "Mark Marie Derrmann" should be "Mart-Marie Derman" Seems plausible to easily transcribe everything with this.

    @NBN_Australia @iiNet do you think the #darlingpoint planned outage for 11 hours tomorrow is really fair, given we have an unplanned power outage now in this area. NBN has been out since after 1pm.

  • Jarrod_Gardiner

    @VodafoneAU Is there an outage with NBN in Prairiewood 2176? NBN has not worked all day

    @marklevy2gb @NBN_Australia @BelongAU I have had the same problem

    Alex Dennis🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺 (@miracleboi) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @optus my mum's NBN FTTC white NBN box will not get any data thru the line. Have been trying all day to get thru to technical support and that line has been "closed" all day and message is hasn't been helpful. She also has a falls monitor which should be connected but it's not

  • yvonnewallbank
    yvonnewallbank (@yvonnewallbank) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    Wow, NBN guys went to the pit to fix a non-existent problem and we have been down since! Amazing work from the most inefficient company I know. Old saying: if it ain't broke don't fix it!

  • robertmbarnes
    Robert Barnes CAE 🇵🇬🇦🇺 (@robertmbarnes) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @Optus still no nbn connection in Jannali. How many times you expect us to turn off and on the modem?! I’ll have 2/30 days worth of my monthly fee back thanks. Can’t work when you can’t provide the service. I’m done with you. #finalstraw

    @ClaudeMandy @TimLonghurst @NBN_Australia we don’t need to go far to see a sensible separation of infrastructure and service provision - just across the ditch in NZ they’ve managed to preserve competition whilst investing in their country’s future

  • tsport100
    Evans Electric (@tsport100) reported

    A guy moved into a new apartment. Only “official” internet was FTTN NBN — $90/month for a pathetic 30 Mbps down max. He called Telstra and Optus. Both said “5G Fixed Wireless not available at your address.” He checked a cell tower map anyway. Half a dozen towers within a couple km. Bought a GL.iNet GL-X3000NR 5G router + built a DIY 4x4 MIMO LPDA external antenna. Result? 800 Mbps download / 170 Mbps upload. 25x faster. $75/month. Same building. Here’s exactly how he did it 🧵

    @RobertW51136192 @Slav636 The cross subsidy is exactly the point. NBN was never the right solution for outer suburbs.

  • 1963amh
    Andrea (@1963amh) reported

    @SharkaByrne @newscomauHQ I paid extra to keep it at the time, so it would be accessible when nbn goes down. Or so I thought. Not sure what I paid extra for ( possibly another outlet )but it didn’t work, totally useless when it’s down. So much for progress.

    KR (@keenkellie1) reported

    @FinancialReview Seriously just take the last two major projects snowy 2.0 and nbn you get cost blow outs, inefficiency and poor returns, instead of your retirement money compounding at 7-10% in the best companies on earth what could go wrong

  • turocmit
    Courty (@turocmit) reported

    @Starlink New ticket
Subject: URGENT – Unauthorised NBN destruction by queue-jumping installer
Write: “Installer jumped other jobs, took extra cash, destroyed my NBN infrastructure instead of installing Starlink properly and connecting devices. On top plan. Demand immediate fix, replacement hardware if needed, and investigation.” Not r e a l l y what I expected 2 bill periods in. One mobile phone connected. Arguing with grok about what’s possible and what isn’t.

  • nonnygb
    Nonny (@nonnygb) reported

    @Jenbox360 Nah that's not torture... I've finally convinced my ISP & NBN here there's an issue with my fibre connection with 40+ dropouts a day. It's taken them a month & 4 callouts to finally accept it's not my hardware or within my property. I was losing my mind.

  • Hobbie4C
    Hobbie (@Hobbie4C) reported

    @VoteLewko @Starlink Govt/Telcos/NBN spent billuons of taxpayer dollars to build a rubbish service. Starlink does way better at zero taxpayer expense. So government response to this is to spend more dollars on their unworkable rubbish. I can't think of a better argument why big government needs to go

    @ArtistAffame If you don't have a wifi router then you will. The 5G is the mobile network, you connect to the internet via that or via NBN. Usually then it connects to a wifi router.

  • Napoleonspiano
    rose saltman (@Napoleonspiano) reported

    @NBN_Australia @therealjme5h Yes, but how long will I be without service? 3 hours and counting.

  • daytona7th
    daytona (@daytona7th) reported

    @tim_blee You would think that if you relied on the mobile network to receive payments then you would have a backup should the particular network fail. Maybe have an Optus or Vodafone SIM card handy or re-route your payment system to the NBN? No sympathy for unprepared businesses.
