    Evan (@fictillius) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    NBN is expensive and has stupid cost constraints on performance. So people are paying more and the network can’t operate as quickly as it could because of dumb things like CVC. Yet everyone is focus on the last mile tech

    @Telstra if my NBN is down why isn’t my 4g backup working? Have re booted, blue lights on??

    @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

    @MyRepublicAU outage in Ryde 2112. What’s the story? NBN all okay

    @Stella_Cluster @DoctorKarl Once you are on NBN,(basically everything) , no power,no phone. Solution is to add back up power where the premiss connects to the network apparently.

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

    @troyhunt @home_assistant @Aussie_BB You'll probably need to turn on smart queues on your UDM Pro (I think I recall you have one of these). Otherwise the NBN policer will throw a fit on uploads and you'll get horrible upload results.

    Some tweet content not showing up (don't know if it is my NBN or part of the Muskageddon). Good news the advertising is showing up. And here we thought the horrid edgelord hated advertising...

    Hey Telstra, what’s going on with the NBN services in Sydney Inner west? It’s been down for quite some time?? @Telstra #NBN

  • JohnLutge
    John Lutge (@JohnLutge) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    The technician came and my internet is still broken. There is an open fault ticket for the @nbn network team to fix the network tap in the pit at the front of the house. According to @Telstra, there is no ETA on the fix.

  • JohnLutge
    John Lutge (@JohnLutge) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    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.

    @gavinadams Problem is nbn. The whole suburb is out, no matter which provider you’re with. Daily occurrence unfortunately.

    @smh @zoesam93 I’m with OPTUS. My mobile phone drops out to regularly and the NBN is so slow at times I have to tether the phone to my computer. Get to work on these mayters Gladys. You are now actually working for Singapore.

    Another day, another nbn outage

  • thomasrice_au
    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.

    LCHF Matt (@LCHF_Matt) reported

    @TTAlwaysWins I’m pretty sure our issue is water ingress in the pits. When it rains it stops working. The last time it stopped (3rd time in 6 weeks), by the time NBN came to fix it (4 days) it was working again, so they blamed us. But Dodo has line tests showing it wasn’t working and I have photos showing the DSL link not connecting. The NBN is a white elephant. The government needs to sell it now and get whatever it can and move on. I ordered the Starlink dish the same day I booked the NBN repair. The dish came the same day as the NBN tech.

  • Vision_iii
    VISION 🇦🇺 (@Vision_iii) reported

    @Ryantlon @MarkDiStef How can land prices go down? Council contributions are up, electrical infrastructure costs are up, sewer/water infrastructure costs have more than doubled, NBN costs are up. Council/state requirements are significantly more. Cities are landlocked with land become more and more scarce. Impossible for land cost to go down. As to deregulation, what deregulation? They introduced the regulated design process and you now need to get a PCA who asks for a BCA report from a BCA consultant who demands fire penetration reports, fire engineering reports, facade reports, wind reports, waterproofing reports and waste reports. And that’s just BCA. A task that was previously performed by one consultant now needs at least 8.

    I've said time and again that the NBN is a white elephant, and that it would be destroyed by competition... IF competition were allowed. Of course like-for-like competition is NOT allowed... the NBN have a monopoly on wired internet... but guess what? They're STILL being out-competed by the private sector anyway, because wireless technology has come a LONG way fast... After all the tens of billions we've spent, Australia still only ranks 43 on internet speeds (worse on some lists, I'm being generous) and still users are turning to the private sector because the NBN cannot help them where they are. Amazing. Government never makes things better, it only gets in the way of the private sector who WOULD make things better... if the government weren't in the way.

    After close to 7 months.. my mum finally got a working FTTN NBN service before close of business today.

  • AussieSolaris
    Solaris (@AussieSolaris) reported

    @GearlessRoe I need internet, I'll go nuts without it. Heh. I miss gaming, waste of time as it was. I need some connection to the outside world, as much as I like/need my solitude. There is one section in this place where I get signal good enough to stream/use the internet well enough. Everywhere else is essentially dead. Miss being able to use the phone in bed, have to hotspot it & put it in one specific spot & use the PC now. See what happens/what I do these coming weeks. If I don't leave here/get kicked out for breaching them, and I can get more dollars in, Starlink will be the way. In theory. Shame though, $85 a month for only 100gb is an oof. My NBN plan with unlimited data at the last place was only $70 a month. Without further dollars/income, cannot afford. Will have to sort something soon. My entire situation right now is *not* sustainable.

    @Adam_and_EVs My friend just followed me to do the same. NBN is terrible. If we had proper fibre probably a different situation but

    @KatrinaLarsen Hey, Katrina. We're sorry to hear that your service is currently impacted by an NBN outage. In the instance that your Optus modem that does not facilitate 4G back-up, our teams will look to provide interim support such as the Optus Internet Assistance Kit. This can be posted or collect from your nearest Optus store. If you hold an Optus Prepaid or Postpaid Mobile service, please don't hesitate to send through a Direct Message, and we can look to apply some Mobile Data to support using your Mobile as a Wi-Fi hotspot in the interim. - Dillon

    @Avichaivegas @JakeTurx NBN is such a waste. I am here for 30+ years and seen so many Americans who moved to Israel without any aid from any group (before NBN) who due to finances were forced to leave after learning the language, building businesses, having kids, etc. NBN wouldn't help any of them!

  • rutjumper
    Hamish Kibblewhite (@rutjumper) reported

    @aaronsmith @jommy_tee To my mind this is decision is less technically competent as choosing to go for a copper NBN rather than fibre As believable a solution as carbon capture and storage

  • MCLove2024
    Madeleine Love (@MCLove2024) reported

    We're paying progressively more taxes, and our services are decreasing. We just got a generic letter telling us our landline phone will be disconnected in 7 months. We used to have copper line which provided a highly reliable service in emergencies, whether power and internet was on, or not. I recall ringing a (surviving) neighbour in the middle of the Marysville 2009 Black Saturday fires. We had a chat while his smoke alarm was going off and the fire was raging outside. Phone through broadband was hopeless whenever the power or internet went down, which happens frequently. Mobiles are useless whenever the internet goes down, and not long after the power goes off. But those copper wire phones were fantastic. You could actually ring the electricity company when the power was off, and tell them that the power was off and could they fix it. I'm not joining the nbn.
