    LNP: planned MurrayDarling - FAIL, planned NBN - FAIL, planned quarantine - FAIL, planned vaccine acquisition - FAIL, dragged kicking and screaming to JobKeeper. Trust them on climate change? #insiders #kickthismobout

    Hey, @NBN_Australia, your customer service is appalling. Perhaps you should contact customers *before* cancelling home visits. Don't leave it to the ISP. Rather than telling the ISP there's nothing wrong with a service that has never run properly and that we start again.../cont

    @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.

    Derek Bell (He/Him) (@derek_bell) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    Check out my Speedtest results! 27.3 Mbps down and 0.2 Mbps up. How do your speeds compare? #Telstra #Nbn I think North Korea is better than this. Any suggestions?

  • ELCA_Brett
    Brett Flower (@ELCA_Brett) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @NBN_Australia , I've waited for your allotted window of 8am to 12. Midday for a technician to arrive. Is this poor customer service to be expected EVERY time someone is supposed to fix our 3rd rate internet service? Only been 2 years so far...

    LachlanB_ 🌏✈️🏈🏏 (@LachlanB_) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    @Lachlan_Mc That's my issue. Signed up to NBN contract when it (finally) arrived in my area, but now 5G is available it's actually way faster than my broadband. 🙄 Not sure how or who offers a big enough data package to allow streaming on the 5G mobile network. 🤷

    A circuit breaker got tripped that killed everything but the lights and I’ve never been happier to have my critical network infrastructure running on the light circuit, no fighting with NBN handshaking for this guy at 11:30pm 😌

  • cbiggins
    Christian two jab 💉💉 (@cbiggins) reported from Sydney, New South Wales

    Apparently @Optus has "deleted" (their words) my NBN connection. I have to wait 48hrs for their stuff up. Considering I've started moving my 5 phone services to @Telstra I think my NBN will be next. Been with Optus for sooo many years but lately wow it's been bad.

    @NBN_Australia any updates on when service will return on Northern Beaches? Power has been restored but still no NBN?

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

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

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

    @PaulFletcherMP I have NBN I live about 30ks from the city of Sydney My modem since the day it was installed tells me there’s no signal I was unable to work from home during the lockdown because the Internet dropped in and out all day making work impossible to complete efficiently or effectively

    @lesstenny Terdbull is full of ****. Just look at the failure of the NBN and Snowy Hydro 2.0.

  • PeterD84508
    Peter Dewar (@PeterD84508) reported

    @timritchie It was failed PM John Howard that sold off Telstra to the tax payers that already owned it. A disgraceful act when we also needed to upgrade to the optic fibre network at the same time. The LNP / Foxtel version of the NBN was another disgraceful failure ....

  • 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 🧵

  • ianclarkeAU
    Ian Clarke (@ianclarkeAU) reported

    @DoodyDarren @CovfefeDnUnder Can NBN do this? No, and it never will. Of course wired networks, such as aarpnet are way better for some applications. The fallacy is that NBN is about technology, when it’s about a cross subsidy.

  • wilburston
    Wil Burston (@wilburston) reported

    @OMGTheMess Twice the ALP voted down Howard with forward looking telecoms infrastructure 1. Mid 80’s when universal ISDN connections were proposed, aka digital telephony 2. Early 2000’s national CDMA network covering 99% of the landmass for IOT devices Then we were mandated the NBN…

  • c0n_AU
    Con! (@c0n_AU) reported

    @BeauGiles Typically, no. For the cost of a backup device/SIM/NBN or even Starlink, it would pay for itself in an hour of an outage like this!

    @colonelhogans You Idiot!... barking in the wrong tree!... ask your Thief Pathological Liar Albo... he promised transferracy in his Thief government, he can't even tell to anyone how much they already spend taxpayers money building solar and wind turbine. Even the NBN Gillard thief created.

  • BrowntownBrew
    Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported

    @pigways @Batman2242 NBN satellites have been in service since 2013 that provided a significantly improved service for remote and regional areas. Starlink only arrived in the last few years. Perhaps Amazon was able to meet the design and contract requirements set by #nbn and starlink couldn't.

  • wally_waldo83
    Wal (@wally_waldo83) reported

    @ShaneOliverAMP A big part of the problem is that starting from the 2010's more of our spending now goes to megatech platforms that extract Australian revenue without the old local multiplier. When $100 went to Ford or Holden, a retailer or a local media company, a large portion recycled through local wages, suppliers, property, logistics and tax. Now when $100 goes to a global ad platform, streaming service or cloud provider much more can disappear offshore through IP, reseller fees and related party charges with far less local employment or supplier spend despite the use of infrastructure like NBN and roads. So government keeps importing demand and taxing workers harder to fund services while more private spending leaks offshore to low local footprint platforms. That extraction is not productive for our economy and is increasingly an issue, especially when profits are being offshored and Australian taxpayers are unfairly carrying the burden.
